How Much Of Your Life Is Living?
Posted on 10/31/14 at 1:17 pm

I'm mostly retired now and have a lot of flexibility as to what to do with my day. Just thinking though of how much of my life was spent doing things which wasn't really living but simply existing. At the height of my career, out of all the hours in a week, I probably spent less than 3 or 4 hours actually living, actually enjoying life.
How much of a week do you enjoy?

That is not very spiritual.
I live all of my waking moments for a purpose outside of myself.

Let me tell you this, the older you do get the more rules they're gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin' man, L-I-V-I-N.

Not enough. Work consumes me when I am there, and when I am off. I have been checking emails all day because I can't leave stuff lingering over the weekend and I am at home.
Sometimes I even feel hobbies consume my husband and I lives too the point of annoyance (for me).

i enjoy 80% of the week easily

as for the Livin part.
I wasn't really enjoying my life. Then I told everyone I was going to kill myself, and everyone gave me a bunch of money and gifts for trips and bucket list stuff. And then I decided to keep on L-I-V-I-N instead of killing myself.
So a lot lately.

Most of it. I don't work or spend much time on school so most of my time is spent listening to hetty jams and getting intoxicated.

Pretty much all of it. My husband and I figured out long ago that working a 9-5 wasn't for us. We're not slaving our lives away to pay an outrageous mortgage, car notes and bills.
So we went for the simple life in the country and we live our life doing what we want. I don't expect my husband to kill himself working to buy stupid materialistic sh**. I want my husband to be happy and to live life his way.
My husband earns a living working as he pleases, working cattle, making hay, hunting gators, whatever he wants. Our house and land is paid off and we have no debt. If he wants to go hunting, he hops on his 4 wheeler and heads for the woods. If he doesn't want to work for a week, that's up to him.
The thing is that to many people put off the things they want to do and then end up dying without ever doing those things (like my late fiance). My husband is going to enjoy his life and I do my dangdest to support whatever chooses to do.

i have set up my whole life to be able to spend maximum amount of time doing things I enjoy doing. Work is pretty much of things I do that hate.
The rest of it is set up for my pleasure.

13 minutes a day. Sad

Other than sparse time spent watching television, all of it.

I try to live every day, even if I'm doing shite I hate, I try to keep my focus on the fact that I'm a piece of walking meat roaming around a rock in the middle of space. Every one I know will die, so spending a day thinking about how much I hate work is a waste, when I could be thinking about how much I love my family.
I try to remember that life is bigger than me, and try to remove my ego from most of my thoughts. Which makes this post seem hypocritical, because nothing makes you seem more egotistical than bragging to strangers on the internet about how enlightened you are.
But anyways, I thought I would share for discussion purposes.
