Most of the things you
find yourself wanting
will have little or no bearing
on the happiness in your life.
Find a way to express your
gratitude for the wealth
and abundance in your life.
Let go of the idea of winning
or losing. In the game of life,
the most important thing
is just showing up
and doing your best.
Nobody from your past should be
held responsible for your future.
The only person accountable for
your future is you.
Don’t sabotage your
chance for happiness.
Own up to the real choices
you are making.
Choose to be happy.
It’s the only sensible option!
So many of life’s eventualities
are beyond your control.
Work out what things you can
influence and come to a peaceful
acceptance of the rest.
Choose your battles wisely.
Unless you have a very high
chance of victory, spare your
energy and walk away
Don’t be attached to outcomes.
Enjoy your experiences for what
they are, what you have gained
and what you have learned.
Unless you have a crystal ball
you don’t know how the
future is going to unfold.
Focus on the things you can
influence and don’t fret
over the rest.
There is no such thing
as ‘no choice’. There are
always other options.
Explore yours.
No matter how much you
care about someone,
you can’t take responsibility
for their happiness.
You can’t make someone
do something just because
you want them to.
What you do have, however,
is the opportunity to
influence their choices.
Being a control freak
is a sign of a vulnerable
self-esteem. The better
you feel about yourself
the less you need to control
everything around you.
The only thing you have total
control over is who you choose to be.
Be the best you can be.
Accept the past,
dream of the future,
but live in the moment.
Learning from the past can help
you move forward. Lingering in
the past will only hold you back.
Self-pity never leads to happiness.
Remind yourself that the situation
may not be ideal, but it’s rarely the
worst that could ever happen.
Look for the joy in each and
every day. Just because it isn’t
immediately obvious, that doesn’t
mean it’s not there.
It’s hard to be present when
your attention is suffering
information overload.
Switch off and just sit still.
