Live life like a flower giving fragrance

Life is precious and it is short therefore live life fully aware of how others are living their own lives and think about what you could do for making their lives better. Realize that people don’t think about you as much as you think they do. Don’t waste time thinking about what people may or may not be thinking. Be who you are, no matter who you’re with. Always be true to yourself, even when it makes you uncomfortable. People don’t know how to navigate life. Everyone makes it up as they go along. Some are better at faking it.

Things are rarely as good or as bad as they first appear. Don’t take any situation at face value. Remain steady and calm. Appreciate others. There is something better than you in every person you meet. Look for that thing. Tell them what you see. They will feel valued. Give to others maximum what you can without expecting anything in return. You’ll find what you’re looking for by helping others. Don’t waste much time trying to figure life out. It’s been a mystery since the dawn of mankind. Greater minds have spent their entire lives trying to solve the same mystery. It’s unlikely to be solved in the next 40 years by yours truly. Practice gratitude. Remember that someone, somewhere, is praying for things that you take for granted.

Don’t be so serious. Laugh a lot. It makes your brain light up. Make sure every day is filled with laughter. This usually happens when you’re surrounded by those you love, and who love you back. Shy away from revisiting the past (regret) and predicting the future (anxiety). Don’t overanalyze every little thing : It helps to just breathe, keep the faith, and do your best at times. Don’t get jealous and unhappy looking at someone else’s social media : It maybe a lie, it may not be. If it is, no point staying upset. If it isn’t, take it as an inspiration, and work towards it, if that’s where you want to be.

Complaining won’t take you anywhere : If you’re unhappy with your partner, speak with them. If you’re unhappy about your job, communicate with your boss, or apply for other jobs. You don’t need to quit your job and travel the world just because someone on the internet said so : It is perfectly possible to have a desk job and still travel the world while getting paid a handsome salary every month. All you need to do is plan well. Just because someone is in a bad mood, don’t let it affect yours : People can be in a bad mood due to multiple reasons. If they’re snappy with you, just ignore them, and if they’re close to you, mention it later.

Exercise everyday : Yes, your body needs it. Okay, if not everyday, at least 4–5 days every week. It can even be just a regular brisk walk. If you have a dream, work towards it : Saying you have a dream and that your life sucks will take you nowhere. Set aside 30 minutes everyday towards working on your dream. Get good sleep daily : I know it increases my productivity at work. Your ideal maybe 6, and mine maybe 9, but do me a favour. Figure out your ideal, and try to stick to it. Call your parents daily : Even if it is for 5 minutes, it will make you happy, and them happier.

Be grateful for what you have : This probably sounds like the most cliched advice, but it’s also the most overlooked. Most of you have a roof over your head, 2–3 great friends, a loving family, and food to eat for every meal. A lot of people don’t. Understand the value of life. Understand that happiness is the cause. Success is the effect. Understand that life doesn’t exist in a vacuum. Everybody is involved, and everybody participates. Understand that everyone is a custodian of their own happiness.

Understand that gratitude accelerates success. Understand that love is the catalyst of a happy, successful and fulfilled life. Understand that success is the sum of many things. And one of them is caring for others. Understand that most things in life are good, but not everything is beneficial. Understand that life is like a large cake which is enough for everybody. Shortage follows when people get greedy. Understand that if you want to live longer you should never retire. Retirement is for those who are tired of living.

Understand that if you want to live a happy life, your goal should never be to accumulate material wealth. Accumulate friendship. Understand that the key to happiness is to make somebody happy. Understand that the key to success is to make someone else successful. Understand that you should never allow anger and depression to engulf your conscience. Understand that laughter is not only the best medicine. It is the best anti-aging cure. Understand that success and happiness follows a valuable person.

Understand that people with financial success will often be failures in other aspects of life, like health and love. Understand that the pursuit of love, health and happiness will attract a more fulfilled life. Understand that if you contend with anyone you are opening yourself to a lifetime of feud. Understand that you’re here on a mission and you will be happier if you discover that mission. Understand that if you compete with anyone you’re showing signs of inferiority. Understand that no one can steal what’s yours. If it’s yours, it’ll always come back to you. Understand that the best measure for success and fulfillment is to impact a life. Understand that life is like two sides of the same coin; there’s the good side and the bad side. Cheers!
