The Good Life
“The one fact that I would cry from every housetop is this: the Good Life is waiting for us—here and now.”
B. F. Skinner (American Psychologist; March 20th, 1904 to August 18th, 1990)
“Helen shared in her moving memoir, Loving and Leaving the Good Life:
- “Do the best you can, whatever arises.
- Be at peace with yourself.
- Find a job you enjoy.
- Live in simple conditions; housing, food, clothing; get rid of clutter.
- Contact nature every day; feel the earth under your feet.
- Take physical exercise through hard work, through gardening or walking.
- Don’t worry; live one day at a time.
- Share something every day with someone else; if you live alone, write someone; give something away; help someone else somehow.
- Take time to wonder at life and the world; see some humor in life where you can.
- Observe the one life in all things.
- Be kind to the creatures.”
“All good tenants to live by for a life full of happiness and gratitude!”
