Think about a truly blissful life, a life that you could usually only wish for and that you may not be able to imagine getting on your own yet.

What does that look like to you? What are you thinking about?

In your head you are maybe seeing a life filled with financial riches, with social standing, great friends or simply a lot of things to do.

Maybe you see yourself at the top of a business or living your ideal life away from all the rush, owning a small restaurant in a small village somewhere by an ocean.

Maybe you think of kids running around happily and a partner that holds you closely and lovingly, or maybe of a body that everyone at the gym points at in a jealous admiration; maybe you are even thinking of all of these together.

No matter what you think about in terms of an ideal life, one thing is certain: It always feels easy.

No matter if you think yourself rich or famous or successful or attractive or happy, you are always at ease.

Of course that is just one part of it, and the other things are all very valuable, but the thing that truly defines an ideal life most is being at peace with it all.

It’s a life where you get up easily in the morning with no thoughts or worries towards the day…
