7 Simple Ways to Live Your Life

Lets discover the seven simple ways to live your life.

1. Stop Thinking Too Much about Problems.

Thinking too much about your problems doesn't help solve them. It only makes it more difficult to solve. Rather take action to solve your problems. Identify the reasons behind your problems and take intelligent actions. Don’t keep the same kind of thinking when you try to solve the problems. Because you didn't use them when you created the problems. 

The problems in your life are never going to leave you. Because a life without problems is not possible. What’s possible is changing the way you handle the problems and live your life happily. If you can’t solve a problem, give it time. Time is the best solution to almost any problem.

2. Don’t Compare Yourself with Others.

Comparing yourself with others only makes you mentally uncomfortable. Don’t compare yourself with someone and try to be like them. Rather compare yourself with the person you were yesterday and make yourself better than you were yesterday. 

It’s never too late to love yourself for who you really are. Don’t think what you don’t have, but others have. But think about what you have, but others don’t and be happy with that. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. And it’s not bad, but it’s absolutely fine. Remember, you always have something that people you are comparing yourself to, don’t have.

3. Make Peace with Your Past.

Your past doesn’t make your future. But your present does. So don’t spoil your present for bad experiences you had in your past. Let your past make you better, not bitter. You live your life not to live in the past, but to make your future a better place to live in.

You can never change your past nor control your future. But you can change the mood of your day by touching your heart with your smile. Let your past make you stronger, not weaker. Learn from your past and apply it in your future. Can you change your past? No, you can’t. Can you forget your past. Yes, you can. Just remember it. The bad experiences of your past should not ruin today’s happiness.

4. Be Happy with What You Have.

You always have what you need to be happy. Because happiness comes from within. Happiness depends on how you create it for yourself. Don’t compare the things you have with the things you don’t have. You can’t always have the best. Because there is always something better than what you have. But happiness doesn’t depend on having the best. It just depends on how you make the things you have the best of everything. 

Often we tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have. But rather of recognizing and appreciate what we do have. If your happiness always depends on things you don’t have, you will never be happy. Do you want it? The happiest people in this world are not happy because they have the best of everything. But they just know how to make the best of everything they already have.

5. Focus on What You can Control.

You can not control what happens to you. But you can control your attitude towards what happens to you. And in that, you will be controlling change rather than allowing it to control you. Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don’t. 

Live your life as the creator of your life. You can not control what people think about you. But you can control what you think about yourself. You don’t really need to be loved and wanted by everyone. You just need to be yourself and control the way you want to be controlled. Otherwise, people will control you more than you do. If you can’t control yourself, others will.

6. Don’t Judge Everyone around You.

Don’t expect everyone to be perfect and respect you as you want them to. Everyone is different and keeps a different heart. By judging people you don’t change the people you judge, you just change your own thoughts about them. Most of the time, it’s useless. Because you can’t expect everyone to be exactly what you need. 

It’s useless to put your effort in doing something that doesn’t produce productive results. Don’t torture yourself by expecting everyone to be exactly what you want them to be. Everyone has their own life and a unique way of living. Don’t make it a problem for you. You never know what they are going through until or unless you are a part of their life.

7. Love Yourself Just the Way You are.

Accept yourself the way you are. Love yourself for who you are. You really don’t need to be accepted by others. You just need to be accepted by yourself. Don’t change yourself so that people can like you. Be yourself and right people will like you for who you really are. To make your life better, you must know who you really are and what you want from life.

People will always say that you are going the wrong way when it’s simply a way of your own. Be proud of yourself and confident on the way you choose to live your life. Don’t waste your valuable times comparing yourself with others and wishing to be somebody you are not. Everybody has their own strengths and weaknesses. And it is only when you accept everything you are and you are not that you will truly succeed.
