The two things most people
search for in life are simple. People desire happiness and to feel
satisfied with their lives. There are simple truths which can be applied
to everyday life which guarantee greater success and that deep sense of
personal satisfaction you yearn to experience in your life and career.
1. Just Do You: Be yourself. Let the results of your
life be a reflection of your boldness to express your freely. Take care
to exercise your own ideas, your free will and independence. Live from
your individual uniqueness and the willingness to be different than
others.
Your authenticity is that place within you that is true
and secure enough to withstand the external destructive pressures that
come from life.
When you are true to yourself and passionate
about your life and career, you see choice rather challenge. Your
genuine qualities are not set up on false pretenses because whatever
path you choose in life is completely congruent with who you are.
2. Be Candid:
There is nothing of greater significance to offer your life or business
than honesty. To understand why being truthful is important examine how
anyone, including yourself, benefit from dishonesty.
The one thing you cannot afford to lose in life is your reputation. Once
your reputation is lost, based upon dishonesty, it is nearly impossible
to recover it.
Living from the truth allows you to build
relationships based in trust with loved ones, colleagues, competitors,
staff, and customers. Those around you become energized by your candor
inspiring them to want to progress their business and personal
relationships with you forward.
3. Push yourself:
In order to make the most of your life and career, challenge yourself.
You cannot fulfill even a fraction of your dreams by sticking to the
comfortable and secure. Where there is security there is nothing forcing
you to rise to the occasion of maximizing the potential of who you are.
Challenge yourself to always be in pursuit of something which
will stretch you. You have to have that "thing" that will make you
wonder if you can actually achieve it. That elusive "thing" provides you
the opportunity to engage in life, and in yourself, in ways that being
secure and comfortable do not.
The more you push yourself and
flourish, the greater your confidence becomes to push yourself again and
again. Challenge not only helps you grow your skills and knowledge, it
helps you develop belief in your capacity.
4. Put love first:
The significant people in your life are those who genuinely feel for
and worry about you. These are the individuals who will always be there,
to fall back upon, when you have been disappointed by life.
The
people who love and accept you, with your mistakes and weaknesses, and
do not need you to be different are those who bring the most value to
your life. They help refuel your belief in yourself when you cannot.
There
is no amount of financial gain that could ever substitute for the love
these individuals offer you. They bring a sense of connectedness and
belonging which serve to make your life happier and more fulfilling.
Those who do not value their loved ones are less well-rounded, less
happy and less motivated and successful in life. Do not let this be you.
When you die you are not likely to wish you had worked more,
you are likely to wish you had had more time with those you loved
deeply.
5. Show Kindness: Treat all of those you
interact with, with a sense of dignity and value. When you can make
another person feel significant they will be motivated to stay in that
perception in your mind.
Being thoughtful of others doesn't make
you a push over. Thoughtfulness is that indistinguishable quality of
being emotionally intelligent in all your exchanges. When you treat
others with openness, kindness and respect you retain a calm power to
stay rational and present in your communications.
Keep in mind
that anger is never useful in relationships, personal or professional,
as it is nearly impossible to respect an angry person. Anger doesn't
wear intelligently on anyone.
6. Practice tolerance:
Be mindful of others in the ways you expect others to be mindful of
you. Practice tolerance and acceptance to bring a sense of peace to your
life and world at large. Let go of small-mindedness, bigotry,
belittling others, and being self-righteous.
Tolerance is an
essential quality to possess. Think about who you are in the global
world, or in the wholeness of life, and what you want your impact to be.
Strive to be that bigger person.
Be open-minded to learning from
all types of people and their differing beliefs, as you never know what
type of person holds your next biggest opportunity in their hands.
7. Exercise Patience:
Knowing the difference between patience and waiting is key to a
successful life and career. Patience does not entail waiting. Waiting is
action-less. When you practice patience you never stop working towards
your dreams, even when you do not yet see results.
If you are
waiting without working, you have stopped. When you are passionate there
is no amount of work that you will cease doing if you see it as
bringing you closer to your goals.
Patience means believing enough in what you have set out to achieve to keep going.
8. Fulfill your dreams:
Do not just follow your dreams, you must fulfill them. Make each wish
into a manifested destiny. Work towards your passions with consistency,
precision and commitment.
Living your dreams is the stuff a
well-live life is made of. What you pursue passionately will bring you a
life of vitality, excitement and the joy that you deserve.
Your
dreams and passions bring deeper meaning into your life and into the
lives of others. When you live your dreams you become inspiring. You
instill in others the belief that if it is possible for you then it can
also be possible for them.
9. Practice gratitude: When
you have a grateful heart your positive emotions become stronger,
decreasing your negative emotional experiences of envy, victimology and
jealousy. Gratitude makes your memories more positive and is a great
catalyst in helping you to bounce back quickly from stress.
An
attitude of gratitude helps you achieve life and career goals making
your personal and professional lives more loving, productive and
enjoyable places to be for you and everyone you touch.
10. Remain humble: Work
quietly and allowing your success to do the talking. Humility is based
in internal reflection, yet, when it comes to where you choose to focus
your time and energy, it is all about other people for you.
In
being humble you are not self-focused or worried about your image, which
gives you more courage to risk and try new things. You are not
compelled to try and be perfect because you are not stuck on
expectations. This frees you from the paralysis of fearing failure
because it is not your main concern.
When you are humble you
approach life with openness and flexibility. You are not oppressed by
the search for happiness or success, for yourself alone, because your
main focus is not about trying to be either successful or happy. Instead
you are caught up in projects, passions, people and things you consider
bigger and more important than yourself and from this you end up with
more happiness and success, as a simple byproduct.
The surest
path to becoming happy and successful in life is in the helping of
others to achieve the happiness and success they desire.
To
experience happiness and that deep sense of well-being and satisfaction
with who you are, what you are doing, and who you still desire to become
you must contemplate daily on what it means to be authentic. You must
be committed and deliberate in your search to challenge yourself, to
face fears, to be good to others and to be the conscious creator of the
wholeness of your overall life experience.
