Ever wondered why some people live a
happy life while others remain miserable in the same circumstances? Well, guess
no more! Here are some of the key principles that you need to develop in order
to live a happy and fulfilling life;
a) Find a reason to keep going.
What are the reasons why you deserve to
achieve your goals? When life catches you on the blind side what will keep you
in the game? When life knocks you down what reason do you have to get right
back on your feet? You’ve got to have a reason for when people lie to you- and
this is going to happen, for when they betray you and say, ‘you can count on me’
and when you need them most, they won’t show up. When you want to throw in the
towel and give up, what reason will you have for trying one more time? It is
human nature to get overwhelmed when life collapses on us and drops us on our
knees and begins to choke us. The most important thing is to find some dreams,
visions and desires that you can call on to and reach out for.
b) Make a commitment to be happy.
Find little things to just to get
tickled about and laugh. Find ways to be happy in the moments and do not let
pressures of life deny you little pleasures of life. Do not say ‘ I will be
happy when I achieve this or that.’ Life does not give us guarantees to stay
long, today is all you’ve got to be happy. Enjoy the sunshine while it still
shines for winter will soon be here.
c) Get rid of all toxic people in your life.
It takes a lot of energy to reach your
goals and you can move faster with a hundred people who want to go that with
one around your neck, so get rid of some energy drainers in your life. Do not
enter in to toxic relationships where you are going to die rather than grow. Prefer
nourishing relationships and stay around positive people. Negative people are
bad for your health. Make a list of people you interact with and ask yourself, ‘what
value are they adding to me?’ ‘Would my life be better without them?’ begin to cross
out some names and if your list remains empty, you are better on your own. Be around
people who discipline, inspire and encourage you to reach for your dreams.
d) Learn to let your past go.
Many people never act on their dreams
because they allow their past to experiences to determine what their
possibilities are. Whatever happened in your past is not a reflection of your possibilities;
it is a reflection of your development and growth. Your future is unfolding for
and it is unlimited right now. No one knows what you can become or where you
can go. That is why I say; I do not what tomorrow brings, it may be good or
bad; it is not mine to decide, but there is one thing that I am damn right sure
about and that is today therefore, the only way I can thank my creator for
giving me today is by doing today everything that I must in order to make
tomorrow a better day should it come.
