Can you remember your childhood days? During those times, everything was simple. All we had to think about were crayons, cookies, or Santa Claus. We didn’t care about the things we didn’t know.
As we grow older, we become anxious about the things that surround us, life and death, loving and parting, success and failure, and paying bills. We find that almost everyday we are obliged to be concerned about people or events.
If you want to know how to enjoy life, know that it is all about your attitude. Events do not control how you feel. How you look at them does.
Cherish the simple things. Trust in the power of a smile or laughter, a kiss or a hug. Believe in kindness, honesty, dreams, and imagination. Living positively is the first step to becoming happy.
Loosen up. Laugh at your mistakes and move on. We all mess up occasionally. That’s part of life. The good thing is that others tend to forget such situations.
Surround yourself with what you love. Get a pet. Keep away from the things and people that drag you down. If that high-paying job makes you sick, find a job you like.
Don’t put it off. Tomorrow may not come. Go on that trip. Get your graduate degree. You’ll never know the extent of your life. Do it now, while you can.
Don’t push yourself too hard trying to please everyone. It isn’t possible to please everyone. When you want to make somebody’s day, start with your loved ones.
Keep fit. Be that attractive person you always picture yourself to be. Cherish your health. It’s the best way of showing you are putting your best face forward.
Never assume. Don’t fret about forgetting your speech or not getting the job you want because you might mess up at the interview. It’s good to expect the worst; but don’t expect only the worst.
Alter your thinking. When you’re being ridiculed or condemned for past mistakes, put on deaf ears. Don’t believe everything you hear. You know yourself better than everybody else does. Never wallow in self-pity.
Throw away the negative. When you find yourself being negative – angry, discouraged, depressed, or jealous, you drain your energy. Keep these negative feelings away because giving in to them will distort your perception of how things really are and will prevent you from enjoying life. Be positive!
Happiness is always in your grasp.
