1. Live every day on a fresh new start. Don’t be held back by what happened yesterday, the day before, the week before, the year before, and so on.
2. Be true to who you are. Stop trying to please other people or be someone else. It’s better to be an original version of yourself than an exact duplicate of someone else.
3. Quit complaining. Stop complaining about your problems and work on them instead.
4. Show motivation. Stop waiting for others around you to do something and take action yourself instead.
5. Rather than thinking “what if”, think “next time”. Don’t think about things you can’t change or unhappy things because that’s just a waste of time. Instead focus on the things you can act on. That’s the most beneficial thing you can do in any situation you are faced with.
6. Focus on WHAT vs. How. Focus on WHAT you want first, before you think about HOW to do it. Anything is possible, as long as you set your mind, heart and soul to it.
7. Create your own opportunities. You can wait for opportunities to drop in life. Or, you can go out there and create your own opportunities. As my mom always says, “The squeaky wheel gets the oil first!”
8. Live more consciously each day. Stop going through the motions of life. Your life is something to be experienced, not coasted through.
9. Be committed to your growth. The higher level of consciousness you are in, the richer your life experience. Achieving higher consciousness comes from your commitment to growth.
10. Know your inner self. This means knowing who you are and what you represent. Be clear of your personal identity for this is the first thing people notice.
11. Discover your life purpose. Set the mission statement for your life; one that will drive you to life your life to the fullest.
12. Live in alignment with your purpose. What can you start doing immediately that will let you live 100% in alignment with your purpose? How can you live true to your purpose within every context/situation/environment you are in, every second of the day?
13. Set your life commandments. Define your personal commandments to live your best life. What motto do you want to follow in your life?
14. Discover your values. Values are the essence of what makes you, you. Take the time to discover your values in life. What things are important to you?
15. Hold yourself to the highest conduct. Every one of us have our own set of ethics, principles and moral codes. Live true to them every day.
16. Design your ideal life. What is your ideal life? Design it. First, assess your life at the moment via the life wheel. Then, ask yourself what it takes to live a 10/10 life (in all 10 areas – career, health, love, social, etc…). What is the life that will make you the best person you can ever be? There are no limits in life – only those you set for yourself!
17. Stop putting life on hold. Are you putting any parts of your life on hold? What is one area of your life you have been putting off/avoiding/denying? Uncover it and start working on it.
18. Create your life handbook. Your life handbook is your life-long personal manual to live your best life – from your mission statement, your values, your long-term goals, short-term goals, personal strengths, blind spots to address, plans, among others. Create your book first then build on from there.
19. Set your goals. After you design your ideal life, set your 5-year, 3-year and 1-year goals. The more specific your goals, the better!
19. Create a bucket list. Come up with a list of things you would like to do before you die. Then, go out there and achieve them!
20. Don’t do things for the sake of doing them. Always evaluate what you’re doing and only do it if there is meaning behind them. Only do things that serve a purpose to you and will steer you in the right direction on your path of life.
21. Do the things you love. Life is too precious to spend it doing anything else. If you don’t enjoy something, then don’t do it, it’s as simple as that. Spend your time and energy on things that bring you fulfillment and happiness.
22. Discover your passion in life. What sets you on fire? Go out there and explore your options. Discover the things you love to do.
23. Make your passion a full-fledged career. Then, start pursuing it. Stop working in a job you are passionless towards. Quit your job when you are ready to do it full-time.
24. Learn from criticism. Be open to criticism but don’t be affected by it. Criticism is meant to help you be a better person. Learn from it.
25. Be positive. Is the glass half empty or half full? How about neither? Why not look at the glass to be full- the bottom half is water, the top half is air. It’s all a matter of perception. Take on empowering perceptions, not those that bind you. If you can see the positive sides of everything, you’ll be able to live a much richer life than others. Eliminate all the unnecessary negativity from your life.
This is YOUR Life
