Life lessons everyone should follow
As of the beginning of 2013 I’ve been busting my buns trying to become a better and happier person inside and out. I have also been trying to start and maintain a happier and healthier lifestyle.
I thought I would share with you guys what I have been doing physically and mentally to help better myself.
Below I will share things that I choose to live by, and the lessons that I have learned from myself or other people.
Things I have learned:
1. Only keep people in your life that make you happy. Lose the people that bring you down.
2. If things are broken, fix them. If unfixable, find something worth your time.
3. Learn to love even the simplest of things.
4. Lose all of your excuses.
5. Stop making judgements about people, see the good in everyone.
6. Put all your effort into everything that is important.
7. Learn from your problems, don’t keep making the same mistakes.
8. It’s okay to say no.
9. What you think of yourself is the only things that matters.
10. Own up to your mistakes, don’t deny them. Things will be a lot easier.
Things I want to live by:
1. Don’t just pray when things are rough, pray when good things happen too.
2. No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.
3. Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.
4. It’s often hard to tell just how close you are to success.
5. Don’t dwell on the past or worry about the future for too long. Right now is life. Live it.
6. When you stop chasing the wrong things you give the right things a chance to catch you.
7. Never let success get to your head, and never let failure get to your heart.
8. You have to fight through some bad days to earn the best days of your life.
9. Forgiving yourself is far more important than getting others to forgive you.
10. Giving up doesn’t always mean you’re weak, sometimes it means you are strong enough and smart enough to let go.
11. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. It’s never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
13. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
14. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
15. What other people think of you is none of your business.
16. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
17. Overprepare, then go with the flow.
18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
19. Everything can change in the blink of an eye… But don’t worry; God never blinks.
20. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

I think you have a point of focus when you learn to cut negative people who bring you down out of your life.
I tend to think there is also something to the idea of keeping things simple and finding happiness in the simple.
@TheTheologiansCafe - Simplicity for me, is a much happier way of living. Who needs unnecessary complications in life anyways, nonetheless want them?
