Life tips 2

Happy Monday..... 

Here is the next set of tips continued:

11. Do not compare your life to those of others, it's easy to see the good but the bad is as well hidden as yours, or better. You have no idea what their lives are really like or if they are happy inside, get on with yours instead.

 

12. Don't waste time and energy thinking of things you will never be able to change. Instead, use that energy to works towards future positive moments. Make your spouse laugh for a moment, isn't that better than feeling bad?

 

13. Don't be extreme in any action. Remember that truth is mostly in the middle, and life is hardly black and white. 

 

14. Accept the fact that you will sometimes lose the arguement, and that you were wrong. Or if you still think you are right, agree to disagree. Very few people have ever been shouted into true agreement.

 

15. Don't waste your energy complaining about people you don't know and their actions. You have no idea what motivates or what lead them to that decision. Judging is so easy even 4 year olds can do it. The driver honking at you might have had a horrible day, or is anxious to see his sick wife at the hospital while worried about making rent. We only see the behavior, never the events leading to it. 

16. Dream more while you are awake.

 

17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have what you need, and being envy won't create more for you.

 

18. Try to never again bring up your spouse's past mistakes. It WILL destroy your present happiness, and even being right -  just isn't worth it.

 

19. Life is too short to hate people. You should fear some and pity others, but hate is a bigger waste of time than any other emotion.

20. Make peace with your past, or it will make short work of your future.
