Enjoyment

“Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.” - Epictetus

Sometimes we forget to enjoy the very simple things of life. On The B Side To The Truth we are constantly posting content that opens the minds and eyes of people that seek for truth. We post things in the media, things in the finance World, things in the government, and things that increase our human life value.

It is however important to stop looking sometimes and simply enjoy everything around you. One of the best ways to do so is by gratitude. There are many ways to share gratitude.

Here are a few steps in simply enjoying life.

1. Write a gratitude list of people you are grateful, specifically why, and send them a gratitude text, note, email, or even a phone call.

2. Turn off the TV, Cell Phone, all distractions when you are with someone and simply ask them to do the same. This will create real conversation and be there at that time 100%.

3. Give more. Simply give just because you can give. With all of the movement in personal coaching and positive thinking industry, often times we thing of giving to receive. Start giving just to give and not expecting anything in return.

4. Go on a walk and leave all electronics behind. No Ipod, cell phone, noise maker or anything. Simply walk and experience the joy of creation around you.

5. Smile. Smile just to smile and watch the outcome. It will brighten your day and the day of those around.

The B Side To The Truth is life is to be enjoyed. Many of us struggle daily to find real lasting enjoyment. The pursuit of happiness is constant. It means to be happy just simply to be happy. Society have misinterpreted the pursuit of happiness as a destination and not a journey. The enjoyment is in the today, the now, and the journey.
