How do you choose to live your life on a daily basis?
What do you choose to value in life?
We are not always taught how to live our lives, instead we just do what everyone else is doing without reflecting if it is a good idea or not. That is the easy way out. Choosing to engage in your own life every day can be a challenge; at the same time it can transform a life to be better, stronger and more positive. Maybe it will transform your life, if you give it a chance. //Marianne

…”Life”
.. and i thought you were going to tell us about a new door that opened in your life.. like you reached one of your goals – you fell in love!
i am lucky that i’ve stayed in tune with those inner stirrings that often go against what everyone else is doing or thinking. i’ve not always been able to act on those thoughts or yearnings, but i have finally reached a point where i am fiercely independent and reap the most from each day.
this one has been a long one, physically, and at 6:20/sunset hour, i’m ready to call it a day and relax!

Lisa, very funny and when I fall in love you’ll be the first to know… Choosing to engage in your own life every day is a challenge. I also believe it’s something we need to be aware of our entire life because it’s so easy to slip, and just exist and not live.
Have a wonderful sleep! I dreamt about the “Pink panther” last night, :).
What do you choose to value in life? I value TIME infinitely! How do you choose to live your life on a daily basis? I have decided to give myself the opportunity to choose what I’m going to use my time on, even my free time with one condition guiding my decision: that i have no regrets at the end of the day, that I feel and know I used my time well, wisely and efficiently, doing the ideal activity for the moment… doing nothing (weird expression because we can never be doing nothing!) is also an option as long as I don’t kick myself later for that time “wasted” … Oh Marianne, I enjoy so much these opportunities to reflect and to be introspective, thank you, Alexandra
Alexandra, thank for a fantastic comment. I hope many people read it, you truly are a person who reflect on your life in a positive way. I am just happy that I can be an asset to you along your beautiful journey, :). Have a nice day! Hug Marianne
what a delightful coincidence…another blogger just replied to a comment i made on her blog saying: You like to make lemonade, right?…talking about the saying: when life gives you lemons… big hug back to you my dear friend!

Hi Marianne, about time I stopped for a visit. Glad I did. Great advice, excellent in fact. Hope you are doing well so far in this new year! Penny, xx
Hi Penny! Thank you for your positive feedback – much appreciated. I am just doing fine, still working in Fiji but I am leaving on Thursday which makes me sad. At same time I am looking forward to go back to my life in Sweden, :). I hope you’re doing well too! //Marianne
I am doing well Marianne, thank you for asking. I understand the duality you’re facing re: the leaving, yet returning home. Have a most safe trip to Sweden, hugs to you my friend! 🙂 xx
Penny, thank you! Before I land in Sweden I’ve a few days holiday in Hong Kong. I am going from a stress free and “slow” life in Fiji to bustling city life in Asia, :). Hugs Marianne
Wow, I envy you your travels Marianne, have a ball! 🙂 more hugs xx
The taxi arrives in 38 minutes, time to get off the computer… 🙂
Yay! 🙂
Choosing how to live life is actually an extension of our upbringing I think, I notice as I get older , wisdom seems to step in and directs my path back to what was most important in my younger days, security, love and a feeling of acceptance, the trivialities of life no longer have a bearing as they used to in younger days, but with free will, each to their own I suppose.

Ian, thank you for your insightful comment, and I do believe you’re right. If we’re lucky, we grow up in a loving home where we learn how to live our lives to the fullest. Unfortunately, I do not think it’s as common as one might hope.
