What I love in this life? Twelve things for a me that I like

I’ll write in this blog post about the things I love most in my life. Simple things, complicated things. But the things that matter most to me (in less-than-random order, which is to say from most important to the least, but still, important).
So, these are the most important things for me in this life:
1. Love itself – I can’t define love; I don’t know what it is; To me, it may be a combination of respect, admiration, wish to copy, wish to help, wish to contribute, altruism; But love itself is a wonderful thing to do in this life;
2. Having models in life – There are a lot of people I admire, but basically they fall into these three categories: models of excellence (both professionals or lovely persons by themselves), relatives and friends; The smallest category is friends; Having these pillars of support in my life is such a great thing;
3. Knowing life has a meaning – I could have said “believing”, since “knowing” is mostly associated to science; And yet, at a spiritual level, knowing (to me) that life has a meaning, that values and principles and human actions all converge into one aim, can be a wonderful experience;
4. Talking – Sometimes talking means silently listening to the other party and nodding, while trying to understand the most of what the other person says; Sometimes this works for me, sometimes it doesn’t; But talking, expressing my view, sharing my experience, presenting my emotions, selling my abilities, boy, oh, boy, isn’t that just great?
5. Making people laugh – You might notice that on this blog I only post smilies on comments, instead of blog posts themselves; But you may also notice that some remarks are strangely funny; Making people laugh in one of the best pleasures of life;
6. Learning – This is a blog on self-development, on sharing information, on making a things better; Right now on my job I’m on a learning phase (it’s a job where I learn a lot of new things as time goes by); When I fail a project, I consider it a learning experience; When I go see something, I try to make the most out of it; After I go to an event like a conference or seminar, I try to express what I’ve learned in there; So, at the end of the day, most of my life really is a learning experience; And that’s just great;
7. The wonderful feeling of feeling healthy – Although it may seem a bit hard to sleep the time I need (rarely do I wake with the alarm clock), to eat the healthy things my body requires (and some veggies are really not that tasty), to drink healthy thinks (here comes only filtered water), there are some good parts: to try and have a happy feeling in you whenever possible, to live a good social life; And, at the end of the day, when I feel I’ve done everything in my powers to live a healthy life, that’s just a wonderful feeling to share; Doing everything to be healthy? Lovely, just lovely;
8. Helping people – This gets complicated; It’s not clear to me if I do a right thing if I help someone (it may as well live a better life if that person manages to solve things with its own powers), but the feeling I get when helping is priceless;
9. The Internet – The Internet is just great to me; I can search for things, find different information, download some stuff, download some legal stuff, and interact; I have a job on the Internet, I’ve worked on Internet for quite a few years, so I think life is fine on that matter;
10. Listening to music – What’s music? I can’t define it; It’s in the same time something cheerful and something sad; It’s something serious and funny; It’s angry and joyful; It’s modern and classical; It’s socially acceptable to listen to or less-than-that; But in the end it’s just a plain wonderful experience;
11. The wish to freely say what I think – Embracing a way to live different way to live is one thing, but saying hard truths goes into a bit of a painful experience; And yet it’s lovely, sometimes funny (I amuse myself watching other people’s reactions), sometimes tragic (truth hurts, oh!, so badly)
12. The lust to be different – It’s a repeating pattern in my life; People tell me again and again: “Be like the others! Do like the others do!” But it is, after all, my life, and if I choose to pick a shockingly different way of living, I learned to accept that about myself; And more than accept it, I’m happy to be different.

These are the things that make me the happiest person in the world and you, my reader, a person I’ve shared this with.
