Be happy and relaxed

How do we want to live our retired life?

We want to live a life with happiness and relaxation. We want to live in comfort with no chores to worry about.

The roof leaks? None of my business.

The bedsheets need to be changed and cleaned? Oh, the maid will take care of it.

What will we cook for breakfast? Oh, there are two chefs who will take care of it. We just relax and eat.

Does this type of life appeal to you? If you like it, come and live in our Paradise Retirement Community in virtual reality.

If you are about to retire, learn the following four points so that you will live in paradise in retirement.

01 Health in old age

You must have a healthy body to enjoy a happy and comfortable life.

Diseases in old age mostly come from bad habits developed in middle age.

Have you ever imagined how you will spend the last ten years of your life on earth?

Should I wear sneakers to watch the morning dew and dawn every day, or should I wear slippers in the infirmary and watch the medicine in the infusion bag slipping drop by drop?

Should I go for a hike on a bicycle to see the beautiful mountains and rivers, or should I wander around the crowded corridors of a nursing-care facility in a wheelchair?

Should I enjoy food that is full of color and flavor and get together with my family, or should I swallow all kinds of pills and spend the rest of my life with medical caregivers?

Beware. A person’s physical condition in his later years is often hidden in his middle-aged habits. Physical diseases do not develop overnight, and most of the pain in old age comes from accumulation of bad habits in youth.

When a person reaches middle age, every time he stays up late or smokes a cigarette, he adds risks to his weakening body. On the other hand, every time he runs or climbs a mountain, he ensures his future health.

Maintaining good muscles and bones is the best weapon to resist the passage of time. Whether you plan to retire early, take care of your health in your middle-age.

02 Desolation in old age

If you are a loner, forget about this idea.

However, if you like company in your retirement, read on.

The desolation in old age is often caused by the carelessness for family in middle age.

When we become old, many of us will lose the ability to take care of ourselves. In many cases, there are no relatives around to take care of us. Yes, we have children, but our children have their own families to take care of, and they have to devote time to their successful careers, so they have no time for us.

In terms of daily care and spiritual comfort, the most important support for the elderly still comes from their families. When people grow old, their children are their main support and reliance.

But this dependence is mutual.

When we spare no effort to help our children when they need help, our children will be filial to us when we are in our dying years.

How we manage our family when we are young determines how we will fare in old age.

03 Poverty in old age

Poverty in later years stems from waste in middle age.

A magazine once launched a survey among people over sixty years old: What do you regret most in your life?

As a result, as many as ninety two percent of people said that they regretted that they did not work hard enough when they were young, which resulted in achieving nothing.

Many people fail to achieve success, not because of lack of ability or lack of opportunities, but because they choose comfort too early and stop running.

Writer Wu Jun

A person’s old age has cause and effect. Whether it will lead to a stable life or a tragic ending, in fact, the foreshadowing was laid as early as twenty years ago.

If we take every step from now on steadily and firmly, every year in the future will be easier. The hardships we endure in our career will become our strongest support in old age.

04 Blessings in old age

Blessings in old age depend on good deeds in middle age.

Kindness is a reincarnation. The way you treat others is often how fate treats you.

A person’s fate does not necessarily depend only on one big action. More often, it depends on some small acts of kindness in his daily life.

Carlos Miguel Gutierrez

When someone is in trouble, lend a helping hand if you can. The good deeds you have done will be rewarded to you in the future.

Your kindness and kindness to others will ultimately be fulfilled by yourself.

Writer Leng Ying

Writer Li Xiaolai once proposed a concept called living in the future.

After the age of thirty five, everything you do will pave the way for your later years.

Exercise more when you have nothing to do, and spend more time with your family when you have time. Your efforts and goodwill will not be let down.

From now on, every time you accumulate capital, you are saving a guarantee for your old age.

05 Be happy and relaxed

Life after retirement is always inseparable from three words: free, happy and relaxed.

People who are about to retire or have already retired should learn to do the following things, so that even in their old age, they can still live comfortably and live with dignity.

01 Your offspring

Do not expect anything in return from your children and you will not be disappointed.

Giving birth to and raising children is one of our life obligations. Do not expect your children to give you the same feedback as you do for their efforts. Pay and reward are not directly proportional in the love of parents in the world.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.

They are their whole lives and they have to walk the road. You must let go of those who should let go and let them be independent. Only then can you let go of your burden. Do not worry so much that you cannot sleep over some things about your child. Even if you do not eat or sleep for them, problems will still exist.

02 Rely on yourself

You basically have to rely on yourself to provide for your retirement although other people may help you along the way.

You may keep your wife, your capital, your home, and your old friends, and at the same time have your own interests and pursuits, so that your old life will be rich and colorful.

03 Early enjoyment

Our life lasts only a few decades, and our life will finally end whether we prepare for it or not. We do not borrow anything from anyone, and we do not owe anyone anything, and we should spend whatever we earn on ourselves. Why should we be a scrooge and suffer?

When our teeth are good, our legs are good, and our body is alright, while we are not deaf or mute and our mind is still clear, we can taste the great delicacies of the world, and see the great rivers and mountains in Nature. We will do so immediately so that our life will not be wasted.

04 Be nice to yourself

While you may feel sorry for your children, you should first be nice to yourself. No matter how filial your children are, you still have to bear the cold and fever yourself, and no one can do it for you.

When you were young, you did not catch up with the good times. Life was difficult and you could not afford nice food or fashionable clothing. Now that you have the means to be nice to yourself, it would be too stupid to be reluctant to eat nice food or wear pretty clothing just to please yourself.

Be willing to spend money on yourself.

If you should spend one dollar on yourself, never spend only eighty cents. Do not short-change yourself. Your consumption for the rest of your life is limited, so there is no need to be stingy with yourself.

No matter how much you save, no one will build a memorial arch for you, you will only suffer yourself.

05 Release yourself and enjoy the fun

Find one or two close friends, relax, say what you need to say, sing when you need to sing, release some of your depression, and enjoy your own fun together.

Why not go crazy for a while?

No one can restrain your spirit, so why not? The reserve of youth can be swept away, and all you need is great mental relaxation.

Nature and relaxation are the only magic weapons for the normal functioning of your body.

06 Immediate action

Even a donkey needs a rest after working for a long time. When you reach a certain age, you do not have to do anything by force.

When the rope breaks, there is a problem in the smallest part. If you feel uncomfortable, you should either rest or see a doctor, and never persist.

07 Take things as they come

You have gone through more than half of the road of life, and everything is commonplace. Sometimes the concept of truth may not be recognized by many people and there is no need to fight for superiority and inferiority.

The edges that need to be sharpened have been worn away, and it has reached the point where it is difficult to catch you. If you let people catch you again, then you are really stupid.

When people get old, they are not tactful, but relieved, not scheming, but mature, and easy-going.

08 Do not be angry

Anger is like a tiger, it scratches the liver and hurts the stomach. Just treat it as a fart and let it go to feel comfortable.

Anger has four harms, namely blood pressure becomes high, blood lipids become thick, blood turns purple, and blood vessels become thin. It may also cause brain congestion and myocardial infarction. So, do not be angry.

Do not take everything to heart. When you get older, you should have a bit of a knife-edge mentality. Do not be afraid to speak, discuss, or gossip behind their back. Let them go, I am still me, happy and happy.

09 Do not compare

After retirement, do not compare yourself with the other people. Most of your life has passed and everything is just a cloud. Your existence is the best. Even if you stretch your legs and feet, you cannot take up more than two meters of space.

Being content and happy is the present moment, reducing and suppressing your desires. When you enter old age, you will see mountains as mountains and water as water. Nothing is particularly strange.

Instead, develop an interest.

Develop an interest while you are young to prepare for an empty nest when you are old. When your children leave home, you will not be staring at the wall in a daze all day long.

If you do not have your own spiritual sustenance, stupidity will find you. This is inevitable.

10 Take good care of your health

Taking supplements is not as good as three meals a day.

Do not believe those shenanigans about health care. No matter what supplements you take, it is better to have three meals a day. You can find your own taste for sour, spicy, and thin foods, and do not let others have the final say.

All the natural laws of animals exist for you. It is not that you can live forever by taking some medicine. It is better to eat more delicious food and be happy by spending money on unnecessary places.

Instead, keep exercising.

Any exercise should be done step by step. When you get older, exercise is a relatively recreational thing with a certain degree of entertainment and should be consumed appropriately.

Do not think that you can still compete with young people. If you are the one who falls down in the end, then the gain outweighs the loss.

11 Have your own life creed

A hundred years of life is just a process. You know your own good and bad. If you want to be free and unrestrained, you must have your own life creed.

Not being moved by others and living a relaxed and natural life is the wonderful path of your life.

12 Happiness always comes first

Life is short, just be happy. The most important thing is to be happy, learn to be tolerant, and not to care.

Forget fame and fortune, forget grudges, forget worries.

Be kind to others without expecting anything in return, and find happiness.

Keep a young mentality and work hard in the first half of your life in exchange for a happy life in the second half of your life. Enjoy it and do not waste your time.

As the saying goes: if you live a day, you will lose a day. If you live a day, you will be happy. If you are happy, you will make a day.

If you live such a life after retirement, your life will not be in vain.

No matter how young you look, you are still past middle age.

Do what you are supposed to do.

If your life is centered around money, you will live a miserable life.

If your life is centered on your children, you will live a very tired life.

If your life is centered on love, you will live with hurt.

If your life is centered on comparison, you will live a very miserable life.

If your life is centered on tolerance, you will live happily.

If your life is centered around contentment, you will live happily.

If your life is centered around gratitude, you will live a kind life.

06 A long and irrelevant summary

As a human being: be respectful to your superiors and not be arrogant to your subordinates. This is a courtesy.

Doing things: not being confused about big things and not caring about small things is wisdom.

Advantage: If you can get six points but you only get four points, it is right.

Observe the law: Keep your body like a lotus, the fragrance spreads far and clear, this is integrity.

Treating people: Be consistent on the outside and treat them sincerely, which is trust.

Cultivation of the heart: excellence is to gather the soul, respecting heaven and loving others is benevolence.

When you have no money but diligence, money will come. This is called God rewarding those who work hard.

When you have money and you give away money, people will come one by one. This is called the gathering of scattered wealth and people.

When there is someone but you give up love, career will come.
This is called fraternity leading the crowd.

When your career is successful but you forfeit wisdom, joy will come. This is called virtue in the world.

Without giving up, there is no gain.

Remember, the world is round. How you treat others, others will treat you the same.
