10 Life lessons which made my life happier and simpler

1. It’s okay not to be okay sometimes.

This is life and things happen, it is very important to accept each and every emotion and feelings that we are experiencing in different situations. Specially in our lows it is important to make ourselves realise that it is completely okay to be sad and this too shall pass. Acceptance heals us quickly rather than running away from it.

2. The more relax you are, the more super achiever you become.

Worrying and fretting can never get us anything, it just consumes energy and makes you skeptical. Just give your best in everything that you do and be relaxed, if it is meant for you it will come and if not then just let it go. Just don’t lose your peace of mind over anything.

3. Life is in present moment.

Present is the only reality of life. Every present moment that we live becomes past and every future moments has to become present in order to live them. We all are aware about this fact but still we forget to live today and indulge ourselves fretting over past and future. It's a simple rule "Live fully today and your past will automatically beautiful and future will be brighten".

4. The best self help is Meditation.

Like brushing every morning is our habit meditating everyday should also become our habit. Brushing cleans our teeth likewise meditating helps us to clean our mind. Meditation makes us more calmer and gives clarity and it must be experienced by all. In the initial stage it becomes difficult to even sit for five minutes but with gradual practise it becomes a habit of everyday activity and then it has it's own joy and beauty.

5. Always prefer to give love over hatred.

When we condemn, criticize or ill treat others it may affect or not affect others but it will surely affect the one doing it because it is the same person feeling and thinking those thoughts. Whatever we throw at others always come back to us likewise when we choose to give love to others, it's us end up feeling loved and happy.

6. Don't forget to smile.

Just try smiling even when you don't want to it will surely help you to become little joyful for the moment. Smiling while looking at in the mirror and to someone else helps to lighten up the mood of oneself and of others too.

7. Stop complaining, criticizing and condemning.

Complaining is contagious. You must have noticed that whenever we start complaining we come up with more points to complain about and then it never stops. Making habit to caught oneself while complaining will help us stop that and focus more on finding solutions.

8. Every adversity is an opportunity to grow more.

When we realise that every problem is an opportunity to grow more than our previous selves then a problem no longer remains a problem. Whenever faced with any problem always remind yourself that it is just making us stronger and evolving us in some ways, with this perspective we can deal with any situation successfully.

9. Controlling others actually means controlling oneself.

It often happens that people are trying to control other and it gives them security and satisfaction but they don't realised that it's not the other but them who is being controlled. Setting others free actually helps you to free yourself from all the negativity and gives a broader view of life.

10. Don't forget to say 'I LOVE YOU' to yourself.

We should not forget that it's only us who stays with us throughout life. It is very important to love yourself or the person who is staying with you for the whole life which is ultimately YOU. Only when we love ourselves we can share it with others because nothing can be poured from an empty kettle.
