Are you familiar with the blue zones? It is 5 parts of the world where people live the longest. Scientists and researchers are doing studies on these people on how we can take the best of their behaviors to live longer as well. I have often heard of pick n plucking your meal for the day rather than from the can, exercising more; use the steps etc, be in a stress-free environment, you know the usual healthy stuff. But this is the first time I heard of having a purpose in life can help boost your longevity.
These people, they are a small community. What is important to them is to live and provide living for their family. They plant / breed their food. So all they do is plant, grow, harvest, feed their poultries, come back home with the rezeki for that day, cook and eat together with the whole family. The interesting part is, at night before they go to sleep, the whole family will gather and the head of the house will tell/remind/instruct them what they should do tomorrow, so that they will have a reason to wake up the next morning.
1) I know being a goal oriented person brings out the positive attitude in your character
2) I didn't realize a community with no specific education have this kind of positive attitude
3) I don't know having a purpose in life can lead to longevity. But now when I start to ponder to this words, it's logical!
I am amaze with this finding.
I do have the long term goal. And I have my short term goal as well (which I have put in my blog quite some time ago). A friend buzz me and ask whether I wanna go do 1 of the goal in my list. Oh and I am so glad she asked coz I will keep on procrastinating until God knows when. InsyaAllah some things on the list will be scratch soon woohoo!
I remembered a friend suggesting to kill 2 birds with a stone. Well, tempting as it can be imagined, I will try to keep that picture in my mind and do the necessary. Hoo cuak2. Ngee~
ok. im going to finish up my half finished salmon sandwich. Lately, I get full and hungry too soon. Good sign or bad?? Hmm
