10 Things To Remember In Life

BEAUTIFUL LIFE

Back with an article that will bring my readers to reality. I just had to write this piece because it’s something that affects everyone despite race, gender, color, sex or disposition. I took months from writing due to personal issues that were beyond my control. In living your best life, there are certain rules to follow to be happy, these are little rules which I will just outline and they are basically self- explanatory. The first thing to remember in life is:

1.     The Past is the past: I made this my first rule because it’s what holds a lot of people back, when things happen in our lives, we tend to ponder and become sad especially when it’s a bad experience due to a mistake or poor decision we took. The past cannot be changed so why not suck it up and move on. You learn from the experiences and move on. Most people can’t move on from the past that’s why they resort to all forms of negative actions such as suicide, crimes etc. there’s a reason why it’s called the past. Be strong and stop wallowing in your foolishness.

2.     Opinions don’t define you: why do people care about other people opinion. The moment we stoop so low to listen and allow peoples comments and views affect us then we become slaves to them. This is an inherent character seen among our young ones especially in high schools. This can stick with them for life and cause a stigma which will in turn lead to low self-esteem. Be proud of who you are despite whatever flaws you may have. Don’t listen to people who do not have the power to make or mar you.

3.     Everyone’s journey is different: yes, all our fingers are not equal so is our journey in life. Do not compare yourself with your friends because it’s going to make you feel like a failure. Appreciate life and go with your pace, do not use this as an excuse to not seek an education or get a job. You might notice your friends getting a master or getting married, but that’s how life is. Your time will come just keep focused and be strong and be ready for it.

4.     Things get better with time: Time heals all wounds; eventually everything will fall into place and make sense. Time is a factor that cannot be challenged. Even great men were not born great, they developed themselves and worked hard to be recognized in the society and it was all a factor of time. Give it your best and time will tell where you will be in 5 to 10 years from now. But why not plant the seed of success today.

5.     Positive thoughts are your friend: Positive thoughts create positive things. When we find ourselves thinking positively it impacts positively in our lives. I do this all the time and it has helped. Try to be optimistic and see how things turn out to be good.

6.     You fail only if you quit: Never say die attitude has earned the best deals for us. Never give up even if the situation is dire and needs a life line. Keep on hustling and never quit because if you quit you fail. Keep on going and the universe will reward your hard work eventually. Remember Quitters don’t win.

7.     Do not Overthink: Overthinking is not good for us because it leads to sadness. Action people accept the failures and move on. Pondering on issues puts a break in our lives. Hence it is important to think less and act more.

8.     Kindness is free: It pays to be good and when we are good to ourselves and to others we attract favours from the universe. It is free to be kind. Positive energy begets positive outcomes. As we mark Thanksgiving today go out there and give the less privilege some food and clothes to keep them warm. Many of us have a lot of spare clothing we don’t use. Give them out; unclog your closet and show someone love today.

9.     Smiles are Contagious: Smiles are contagious and it helps uplift our spirits and that of others. It relaxes our nerves and makes us look beautiful. When we do not smile we push people away and keeping a sad demeanor won’t do you any favours as it makes you miss your luck and opportunity. So keep smiling and affect someone’s life positively today.

10.                        Happiness is found within: There’s a lot to be happy about, for instance looking at this scenario, if you have food in your fridge, clothes on your body, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you’re richer than 75% of the entire world. If you have money in your wallet, a little change and you can go anywhere you want, you are among the 18% of the world’s wealthy people. If you are alive today with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million people who will not survive this week and die. Life is not about complaining a pain and sorrows. It’s about a thousand other reasons to be grateful and happy. So why are you not happy?

If you can actually “READ” this message and understand it, you are more fortunate than the 3 billion people in the world who cannot see, cannot read or suffer from mental retardation. There you have it 10 things to remember in life. Keep striving and one day you will be where you want to be.
