Budgi.nl wrote an artikel which inspireert me. An article about happiness and things you should or shoud not do to try and reacht it. Being happy is not self-evident. Especially if you had to deal with many setbacks and perhaps still must endure. No matter how hard you try to lead a positive and happy life, nothing seems to work and it may seem like you are cursed. I have felt like that some times. Wondering why life threw at me what it has thrown at me. Budgi says we are not cursed but we shouldn't want that much. This lies in our personality which is something only you can change. Being happy and having carefree life, always starts with yourself. These things can help is with that.
1. Quit wanting to be right
Is it wordt the trouble of jeoperdizing your relationship with someone just because you (feel you) are right? Always aks yourself this question. You night find the answer is 'no' once in a while.
2. The need for controle.
Don't be a controlefreak and be prepared to let go of the need to controle everything and everyone. Let people be who they are and accept that.
3. Negativity
Don't get caught up in negativity. Belive in yourself, create and seize your chances and don't always think the worst about yourself.
4. Limits
Stop to impose limits to what you can or cannot achieve. Spread your wings and fly as high as you can without thinking about limits.
5. Complaining
Don't complain about everyone and everything. Nothing or nobody can make you unhappy if you don't allow it. So, don't allow it and be positive.
6. Criticism
Stop criticizing others. People are unique, but at the same time the same. We all want to be happy, to love and to be loved. Criticism is obsolete.
7. Impressing
Don't try so hard to be some you are not. People are impressed and o attracted to you when you show them the real you.
8. Embrace change
The only constant in life is change. Change is good and is the only thing which gets you from A to B. Resisting change is the worst thing you can do.
9. Labels
Stop sticking a label on everything and everyone who is different from you. Your mind only works when it is open to new things.
10. Fear
Fear is an illusion. It doesn't really exist, you are the one who creates it.
11. The Past
Letting go of the past isn't easy. Especially when the past seems so nice compared to the present, and you're afraid of the future. But the present is all you have got. Stop living in the past and live in the present with everything you do, with an eye to the future. Just so you can enjoy life.
12. Ties
Learn to let go. Do not give up what you love, but let go of the things that unconsciously limit you in what you can and can not achieve.
13. Don't live to the expectations of others
Your life is yours and yours alone. Too many people live as if their life belongs to others. They live by the values, norms and expectations of their parents, friends, enemies, teachers, government and media. But not you, you should listen to what your inner voice says. You need to discover what makes you happy and pursue that at all costs. You only have one life. Use it to do what you, and not others, considers important.
