Life Secrets

Get good at something Call it a hobby or a passion, whatever it is, just get good at it.

Your occupation does not count!

 Learn to be unaffected by the words of others. If someone went up to you and called you a fire hydrant, would you be upset?

No because you are obviously not a fire hydrant, you are a human being. The same concept applies to when someone calls you something that you know you are not .

Develop the ability to forgive. Forgiveness is something at which most people fail.

 Grudges only bring more miseryto those who hold them and prevent good relations with the target.

 People make mistakes all of the time so why not have mercy when others do (Life Secrets)?

Be the person that makes others feel special.  Be known for your kindness and sympathy.

 Visualize daily. It has been said, and proven, time and time again that what you focus on is what you get. If you complain all of the time, you will run into more of the things you complain about.

 The same goes for good things like health, wealth and happiness.

Meditate everyday for at least 20 minutes.  In this modern world where everyone is so connected to everything else via cell phones, TV and internet, most people rarely enjoy the beauty of silence. The ability to quiet your mind and relax your body is an art and skill that everyone should develop.

Learn to control your mind. What kind of skilled human are you if you cannot even control your own thoughts? While the human mind is described as being a stream of consciousness, that does not mean you

can’t decide where your stream flows

.

Learn to control your emotions. The only person that can make you unhappy is you! You are the one that decides to be affected by the words and actions of others.

Realize this so that the next time you experience a negative emotion, you can find the strength within yourself to overcome it.

Take a class in speed reading.

 Books are full of information that can enhance your knowledge base, vocabulary and yourself as a person. Speed-reading is an easy way to get at this info faster so that you can have more time for other endeavors (Life Secrets) .
