MORE TIPS TO HELP YOU LIVE A BETTER LIFE

DON'T LET OTHERS DEFINE YOU

So-and-so says you are this-and-that. Well, are you?!

(The answer, by the way, is no). Only you know who you are.

True, friends can sometimes point out our faults which makes

us stronger people. But not even friends define who we are.

Only you can define who you are. So don’t let what so-and-so said

about your this-or-that, bring you down.

Don’t let it! Eschew such foolishness!

SPEND TIME WITH PEOPLE OVER THE AGE OF 70

AND UNDER THE AGE OF 6

There is great wisdom in experience and there’s great wisdom in innocence.

Learn to reap from both.

MAKE IT A GOAL TO MAKE SOMEONE SMILE

This does not mean you need to dress up in a clown suit and go

parading about with bad puns. What it does mean is that there are

many ways to make people smile. A good bear hug always makes me

smile, but maybe you can write a “you’re amazing because…”letter

to someone you know. Or, decide to buy someone flowers just

to make their day. It’s even better if it’s anonymous with a

“you’re amazing because…” letter attached to it.

SPEND TIME GETTING TO KNOW YOURSELF

It’s easy to want to be someone else. But don’t let that happen.

Take a moment and look at the mirror. You see that person

staring back? That’s you. You are you. And once you spend time getting

to know how awesome you are, you won’t want to be anyone else.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH HUMOUR

Do you have a favourite comedian? Be sure to check out his or her

skits often. keep things and people that make you laugh close

to you on a consistent basis.

CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY

When you face circumstances (Good or bad), you make a choice as

to how these circumstances affect you. They’re not holding you

hostage and forcing you to be sad, mad, or bitter. So, why

indulge in them? Sure, life can be a prick sometimes, but that’s even

more reason why you should choose to be happy. Choose to

smile, laugh, and enjoy all that is good in spite of the

temporary bad times.

ESCHEW HATE

Ask yourself this and be honest. How have you harmed the

person you hate so much? Your hate has caused them no

harm, but it’s wrecking your peace, your mind, and even your

physiology. Hate is just not worth it, so let it go. Forgive and

live a life that’s free and absolutely awesome.

DAYDREAM

Go ahead and let your mind wander through the vast expanse of

thought. Let your creativity fly and muse about anything and everything.
