ADVICE TO HELP YOU LIVE A BETTER LIFE

LAUGH AT YOURSELF

Often! Life is too short to take yourself too seriously.

KNOW YOUR LIMITS

Don’t let your limits defeat you, but don’t be fooled into believing

all limits are meant to be defeated. Know your limits. Know which

boundaries are meant for good and which are meant to be broken.

READ

Reading is to the mind as weights are to your muscles. Read things

you enjoy and don’t be afraid of the big fat books. Here’s a goal for you.

Every year, try to read one more book than you did last year.

PLAY GAMES

Why is it that when we grow up, fun things become childish? Don’t let

these silly labels hamper your enjoyment of something that makes you

happy. Go ahead and grab that Super Soaker and have a blast with

family and friends. Heck, have a blast with total strangers if you

must, just have a blast!

SIT IN SILENCE FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES A DAY

This is harder than it sounds, but if you make this a consistent habit,

you will notice a big difference in the way you think and handle

situations in your life.

ESCHEW NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

There are things you can control, and then there are things you can’t.

But thinking negatively won’t have any effect on either. Instead,

accept things for what they are and move on.

DON'T COMPARE YOUR LIFE TO OTHERS

You are unique and so is your life. Don’t waste precious time by

comparing yourself to someone whom you are not.

SMILE WHILE YOU WALK

Spend about 30 minutes walking each day and smile as you walk. Not

only will you be taking care of your body but the act of laughing in

public will also train you to look at the mundane through the lenses

of happiness.
