1. HAVING JEBUS CHRIST IN UR LIFE REPENT SINNERS!@
2. Good genetics
3. Spend less than you make and skip dinner.
4. being healthy and successful helps.
5. whatever it is, I lost the keys
6. being rich
7. Don't deceive yourself. It covers a hell of a lot of ground.
8. Having a good attitude and feeling that life is good.
9. No worries. A life without real worries, means no stress. No stress means you're capable of making rational choices. This is why kids should always be raised first and foremost without unnecessary worries. But, to be more specific: the #1 key is where you're born, of course. It's easier to have a healthy and successful life in Denmark or France or Canada, than it is to have it in Ethiopia, Congo or Zimbabwe.
10. Optimism, lots of water and as many unprocessed, natural foods as possible. Meditation helps too, or some other form of quiet reflection. Also, an active life.
11. Being positive and finding happiness in what you have instead of always wanting what you don't have.
12. Laughter, especially aimed towards yourself. Life's not permanent, so there's no reason to be overly serious, ya know? :) From what I've heard, laughter can reduce your blood pressure, raise serotonin levels, and add years to your life. It really *is* the best medicine.
13. Think good thoughts & eat good food
14. I think that us homo-sapiens need to get over ourselves. Healthy, successful. Whatever. Lame.
15. Be happy and grateful, and try not to worry. Be good and kind and treat others the way you'd like to be treated. Be loving and compassionate, and give more than you take.
16. contentment with one self and one's possesions
17. Health-don't smoke or do drugs. Don't spend your life in the sun. Be careful. successful life- Don't live in America
18. depends on what is healthy and successful for you doesn't it? if you want money, you need to be money smart and business smart and you need luck and you need balls. if you want to be happy all you need to do is stop feeling sorry for yourself. simple but not an easy thing to do.
19. Confidence, probably. But not the kind of confidence which manifests into ostentatious shows of vanity. That 'confidence' is actually feelings of inferiority masked by a defense mechanism.
20. To understand what makes you happy, and devote yourself to it.
21. Love of God.
22. Helping others and living your life for someone else, because, it isn't about me or you,it's about something bigger and better.It's weird because every time that I help someone, I feel better and useful. It also depends on what you consider healthy and success. Sometimes it is impossible to have them both together.
23. being perfect, or dead citizen ;-) sorry no deep answer, tired again ;-(
24. Serving others, putting others first. And eating right and exercising. By the way, I need to learn how to do both of these.
25. Genetics, Family background.
26. Well those are two different things - healthy and successful.... BOTH are determined by CHOICES we make. Health - by the things we put into and do with our body. Success - by our educational, career, moral and ethical choices. YOU left out HAPPY - that comes as we seek to center our life in a spiritual source and relationship with God. Those are the #1 keys in all THREE options.
27. I've got a long list o' things. But numero uno has to be... "Avoid dying"
28. Simplicity
29. Having a child and raising him successfully so s(he) can have a child and continuing the human race.
30. value systems come in here I know, or knew ,several people who lived very happy and grossly unhealthy lives, others fit and healthy still here but not happy. I would go for self acceptance first, LOL I might get there one day
31. To live in the moment, always. Think about it. If there's no yesterday, there's no guilt, resentment or regret. If there's no future, there's no anxiety, impatience, etc.. Live in the moment and you shall find eternal peace and bliss.
32. Well IMO #1 healthy would be listen to ones doctor/dentist. Exercise, eat and drink in moderation and rarely loose control. American success is very different than other cultures, but again IMO would be having children and friends. A close relationship with family and friends also. Ability to live with little stress. Lastly ability to help others. Peace.
33. Helping others.
34. Jesus
35. The secret to success is sincerity - once you can fake that you have it made. ~
