Life is tough; there is no doubt about that. It goes up and down like a roller coaster, and sometimes it seems like as soon as you get up, it’s going to knock you down again.
Life is difficult, and everybody knows that. But nobody realizes how tough it can be. When things start to tumble down around you, it can make you feel hopeless.
While you should never try to control the things that happen around you, that doesn’t mean you have to sit and give up. Get back on your feet and fight back.
The more you beat down, the harder it gets to keep going. Believe me on this one. However, once you embrace all of this, it becomes easier for you to accept it. You can’t wait for things to get better; you have to do it yourself. Accepting these things will really open your eyes to their importance.
1. You are dying.
No matter how much time and money you spend on making your life good, it will always end, no matter what.
2. Everyone you know is going to die.
You can’t constantly obsess over losing people and death, but you also can’t take anyone for granted. Eventually, everyone you know will die, and you might not be the last one to go either.
3. Wealth isn’t happiness.
No matter what amount of money you have, it will never cause you to be happy. Happiness is within, no matter the riches.
4. Searching for happiness makes you lose it.
Happiness is right there in front of you. If you are constantly searching for something to make you happy, you’ll never satisfy your hunger. In order to be happy, you have to be happy with what you already have.
5. Spend time, not money.
Many people believe that you cannot enjoy yourself without money. Wrong! You don’t need to go out for dinner, see a movie, or go to a museum to have fun!
6. You can’t please everyone.
Trying to please everyone around you is exhausting and, at the same time, impossible. You just can’t do it, so stop trying.
7. Accept your feelings.
Stop trying to deny yourself emotions. You have feelings, and you can’t get past them without admitting you have them to begin with.
8. Be responsible.
Nobody but you is responsible for your actions. Regardless of what influences you, you are the one who makes the decision. Take responsibility for yourself and your actions.
9. Stop trying to be perfect.
None of us are perfect, and although we all try to be, we never will be. Perfection is an imaginary tale about fairies. Stop trying to live up to some non-existent standard and love yourself.
10. Don’t waste talent.
If you have a talent, put it to use! Don’t let a God-given ability go to waste!
11. Live in the Now
As much as we try to plan out and control our lives, we ultimately don’t control anything. You can try to predict the future and prepare for it, but it’ll never work out the way you think it will. Stop trying to perfect the future and stop dwelling on the past, and you will achieve happiness.
12. Nobody cares how hard your life is.
Life is challenging for everyone. Life presents us with unexpected challenges, so cease believing that you are the only one experiencing them. Stop going on and on, trying to make everyone believe your life is harder than theirs. It’s a never-ending piss contest.
13. Share your knowledge.
Learning things is useless unless you share them with the people around you! Knowledge is only helpful if we share it with each other. If you learn something the challenging way, help your neighbor out by warning them.
14. Invest in yourself
If you don’t spend time with yourself, life is pointless! You don’t get to live as anyone else, so take the time to really make yourself the best version there is.
15. When things stink, don’t react.
Despite the unpredictable nature of life, our response to it ultimately determines its outcome. If you hold a belief that the world is ending, it will truly feel that way. However, keep your chin up and remain positive, and you’ll see that things aren’t half bad.
16. Quit dreaming and do the work.
Dreams are for the birds; you have to make your biggest wishes come true. There are no wish-granting genies, even though we all still hope one will show up for us. It’s time to stop waiting for things to change and instead take control of your own destiny. Want to be an actor? Go be an actor. Stop wishing and do it!
17. Be grateful.
No matter how severe you think you might have it, there is always someone who has it worse. Be joyful and be grateful for the things you do have instead of wishing for the things you don’t! It takes the joy and value out of everything if you don’t appreciate it!
18. Don’t lose yourself.
It’s important to never lose your true sense of self throughout the journey of life. Always remember what is important to you and keep a sense of your priorities!
19. You can’t take money with you when you die.
One thing is certain: you cannot take your millionaire status with you after death. We all die eventually, so don’t get too caught up in your own finances. There are more important things in life.
