I love this question because it reminds me of what’s really important in life so thanks for asking it. I’m about a million miles away from my ideal way of living life but I’m exactly right where my ideal way of living life belongs.
Ideal way!!hmmm…. it keep s changing often! at 8, I wanted to be a computer scientist. At 15, I wanted to be a perfect wife. At 18, I wanted to be an IT professional. At 20, I had no idea what I wanted. At 24, I wanted to be a writer. At 30, it was no longer my choice; I was a mom. Now!! I promised myself I will read a truck load of writing! this might change in the future. 🙂 thanks for this question!
A house on a lake in the middle of the countryside, with a dock where I can sit and write stories all day, and enough money in my account so I can do that for the rest of my life. And a dog. Actually, make that several dogs.
I used to think when I retire I’d be at my ideal way of living life. But then I thought about all the wasted time that would be, so I’m trying to make each day ideal now. Some days I get real close if I appreciate the small stuff.
not different from “ideal way of living life” because I don’t know what that is. Different in the sense that everyone is different:) Please don’t ask how do I know that everyone is different:))
75 per cent, things are never perfect, always room for improvement.
Removed a few negatives from my life recently and so trying to commit a bit more to the positives
Not far away but there is always things that make something imperfect.

Emotionally/spiritually – 90%. Physically – 30% – but working on it. Finacially stable – circling the drain. We’ll see what happens.

As you know, the emotional part is very important! If that’s almost ideal, you can take care of the other aspects too 😀
