How to have pleasure in life
The word pleasure as defined by the Oxford dictionary is a feeling of satisfaction or enjoyment – contentment, fulfilment, gladness. My question is “How do we have pleasure in life and how do we get to that place of fulfilment, gladness or contentment when safety and security in relationships – both work and personal is so unpredictable?”
The answer is not as difficult as it may appear. Pleasure has to come from within. Contentment, that inner sense of wellbeing is not available on the high street, in a department store or from your significant other. It is within your thoughts first and foremost.
It is the interpretation of how you see, value and invest in yourself. That inner peace that has to be pursued comes when we understand clearly what our core values are and live in line with them. It comes when we recognise that “Health simply means taking responsibility for and investing in self.”
