What are the most important things needed to live a good life?

Now that I have your attention I can answer the question. In my decades of living I have realised what it is not important. What are superficial goals and no matter how hard to try to achieve these goals you are either not healthy,enough,rich enough,stable enough in your employment or relationship or you have set to your goals too high.

I am in a position in life where I know what is important to me. When I was young I had unrealistic expectations driven by my teachers at school, my parents, my peers and especially myself. Being a child of the sixties my expectations were soon overtaken by falling in love and getting married.

This reversed roles I had a good job but it was more important that my husband had a good job,earned good money, so I supported him in whatever advancement he set his sights on. We were happy in our ignorance as we worked together for 20 years only to divorce and have to split everything down the middle. I had to start from scratch as he had the executive job and salary and I had the basic wage. Our marriage broke down not because of money or a third party,it broke down because he had a heart attack. Which he never mentally recovered from.

This brings me to the important things in life. Health is to me the most important. Followed by family and a support group of friends that really look out for each other. You need to know if things fall in a heap you can talk to someone. They may not be able to solve your problem but sharing whatever is bugging you or causing strife in your life can be shared. Plus don’t become a victim, be a survivor. It is easy to say this when I live in a country that is quite solid in its government and we are not at war. Our economy is steady as we have a wealth of minerals to export and we live in a society where we look after our older citizens with free Medicare and pensions. Unfortunately in the 21st century the most life changing events in peoples lives are loneliness,social media, AI and isolation. We cannot trust our own eyes. But if walked every day in the sunshine for an hour,left our iPhones at home when we are out shopping. Giving our brain time to shut out negativity. Maybe little by little our lives would improve.

Now back to sex,yes sex is important too.
