What would be your perfect day? Who would be in it? What would you do? What makes a day the “perfect day”?
For me, right now, a perfect day would be one, where I don’t have to think about what I “must do next”. I long for a day off – but I know this is only temporary, since I feel a little exhausted.
Normally, I would describe my perfect day differently: I would describe it as a nice, sunny and warm day. I’m spending the day with people I love to be around; and I would get to know something new; the last point being the most important part of the perfect day. I love to have new experiences in my life; these may be traveling to foreign countries, taking courses or visit a museum where I haven’t been before.
I’m unhappy if I have to spend my days with routine jobs, in routine meetings, or with routine chores at home.
Why did I ask the questions about your perfect day? Because I believe, it’s important to think once in a while about the perfect day. It tells you where you are standing right now in life, what’s missing and what you might want to change or add, if possible.
One of my favorite quotations:
Action may not always bring happiness, but there is no happiness without action. (Benjamin Disraeli)
