Live Right Be Happy

You don't get to choose how you're going to die, or when. You can decide how you're going to live now. ~ Joan Baez

What is the right way to live life? The most important thing is to find meaning in your life and live positively and happily. There are many things that you can do to contribute to your happiness and well-being:

1. Positive mindset: The best time to be in a positive mood is in the morning. Wake up and get up with cheerful thoughts, look and make a broad smile at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that it is going to be another great day. Your positive mindset is strengthened when your mind is focused on the things to do to achieve your goals. Life is meaningful when you have a clear vision of your desired results and there is a direction to get there.  

2. Things you can control: Forget about those things that you cannot control. Simplify your life and concentrate on important issues relating to your goals. Instead of  worrying  about your weaknesses,  develop and grow your strengths

3. Bounce back: Life is full of problems. The most important thing is how you react to them. With a positive mindset, you will be confident to find solutions. Even when you have failed in many attempts you will not give up. For you, these are just lessons in life. Resilience is key.

4. Social support: The support of your family and friends are important for your well-being. These are the people who share your happiness and sorrow and these are also the people you turn to when you need help. Stay connected.

5. Healthy living: A healthy lifestyle is a balanced life. You pay equal attention to your work and family. You also spend time to be fit and healthy. You take breaks and don’t rush to get things done and avoid getting unnecessary stress. 

6. Optimism: A positive attitude promotes optimism in you. You have faith in what you do and you are hopeful of the desired outcome. You are enthusiastic to wake up early to welcome every new day.

7. Enjoy the moment: The right way to live life is to live fully now. Happiness is about working hard and playing hard without worrying about the future.

8. Financial freedom: Living right is about living within your means and without incurring debt. Financial well-being is about curbing more wants and appreciating what you have in life.  

9. Perseverance: It is important to understand from the outset that there is no overnight success. It is about working smart and working hard over a long period and along the way you will have to overcome obstacles. The determination and the stamina to stick to what you have to do over the long haul is the way to secure success.  

10. Kindness: The act of giving is a way to demonstrate your capabilities and usefulness as a unique individual. It gives you meaning and satisfaction in life.

What life means to us is determined, not so much by what life brings to us as by the attitude we bring to life; not so much by what happens to us as by our reaction to what happens. ~ Lewis L Dunnington
