We, all want to have a good life and look upon various things to make it happier and better. Also we know what are the principles of life but we fail to follow it.
In this article, we will discuss on few principles of life that are important for happy living.
No pain, No Gain
If you rest you rust- Helen Hayes.
So, why do we prefer life to be easy, except the fact that life is hard.
If you know this fact you will not deny from your plans you made for yourself. You step back from doing anything because you feel it’s hard. So, ask yourself a question, you wanted to get fit, start your own business, travel the world. You just made a bunch of things but you didn’t do any, because it’s hard.
If you don’t strain on your muscles and your mind, life itself will become difficult for you. So, choose which hard you will prefer, the hard which will make you achieve something or the hard which will not lead you anywhere.
So, don’t run away from hard things. Rather try to endure those hardships to add value to your life. Be that person that can endure difficulties both physical and mental.
Cut out Negativity
I know it sound very cliché and almost every self help articles mention this point, but do you realize why, we are unhappy because of negativity. It could arise due to jealousy, backstabbing, lying, complaining, bullying in the world.
But the problem with us is despite knowing the cause we don’t want to change. So, what could be the solution, just avoid it. You cant change people. People only change when they decide to.
So, would it be better if someone is trying to pull you down, just avoid it.
Life will not wait
Out of all the resources in the world, time is the most valuable resource we have but still, we take time for granted as if it will never end.
Do you ever stop and think about how much time you have left on this earth? Let’s say you get to live to 80 years. Just do the math. This will make you realize it’s not that long you have been spending it uselessly.
Be more selective with your time. Don’t squander it as you can always get it back. Sure, you can always earn back the money that you’ve spent, but you can never earn back time.
Once you spend time, it’s lost forever.
Don’t be afraid to try something new
Learning from others is one of the best things that I’ve done. Being humble is a good thing.
But here’s the catch: You’re not all those people. You are you.
That means one simple thing: Get off the beaten path, and create your own.
Don’t be afraid to try something new. Choose paths that no have chosen. It is probably true that people will not understand you. And that is not something to worry about.
How do you know you’re going somewhere new? People will likely not understand you. And that’s a good thing.
Life is Random, be prepared for the changes
It’s good to plan but sometimes all that we have planned fails miserably, does that mean that you will give up? Look, life is random.
Instead of complaining that things didn’t fall as planned, accept the circumstances of your life. No matter how bad they are. Things are what they are. Look at it this way: Regardless of where you are in life, you are there for some reason.
It doesn’t matter what it is. But when life expects something from you, show up and play your part without complaining and accepting the fact that this how it was supposed to be for you.
There you have it — stuff you know, but you don’t do. Although I can’t guarantee a good life if you follow all principles. But when you follow these principles, you have more respect for the life you have been given.
Because these principles have one goal: Get the most out of life because you only have one, live it to the fullest.
