6. Actions Speak Louder Than Words.
All of us have probably heard this popular phrase several times, but it can take a lifetime to fully comprehend it.
People still believe the lies of the world, of other people, and of their own. We allow
people to continually mislead and misbehave with us and we choose to believe the words that promise it won’t happen again.
We assure ourselves that we are going to change our lives (get healthier, finish our education, make more money) but do we really take any action towards our goals? No we do not.
The truth is that: Words provide temporary comfort, but it’s the action which truly defines who we are and who others are. Actions have the potential to distinctly show what is what.
So if you can talk the talk, you should walk the walk also.
Try to prove your words, be true to the words that leave your mouth. Trust others only on the basis of their actions and not their words.
7. Kindness is the ultimate virtue.
We all must learn to give more than we receive. Whatever you are doing for any other human should be done with a genuine smile. For instance, Smile at strangers who appear to be having a bad day, give some money to the woman who forgot her purse at home and is now embarrassed standing in line at the fast food restaurant with three screaming kids or tell a joke to a friend who is upset.
You will feel content if you do anything of this sort for anybody with truest feelings from the core of your heart.
Every one of us has the desire to love and be loved.
Never forget to look around you because you will find that there are several opportunities for kindness everywhere and not a single one is too small.
Not only will kindness make a world of difference to those around you, but it will also change your life. When you focus on being kind, each and every day of your life will become positive.
8. Practice Gratitude
The older we get, the more we start appreciating all the things we have in our lives. Yet people have an inclination towards thinking about what they did not get in their lives.
Yes of course, there are a million things we don’t have. But again, there are so many things we do have. So we must really learn to be happy and content with whatever we have in our lives!
There are many people around us who do not even know what they will eat and wear tomorrow; do not have their families! So what about them? Think over again, do you still feel that you have got nothing much in your life?
Establishing a sense of gratitude is the true key to happiness. Your true appreciation will lead to your enlightenment in life. You will be able to live in the current moment and be thankful for all the amazing things that make your life worth living.
You are blessed. So start appreciating everything you have from today itself!
Many people around the world die with their hearts filled with remorse and regret. Some, on the other hand, realize lately that their lives could have been more fulfilling only if they had learned these lessons much earlier.
So do not let your mistakes steal away the spirit of living and the beauty of your life.
Always remember, your life is a blank canvas for you to paint it with vibrant colors.
