People

Surround yourself with good friends and family. People who are positive and cheerful. Those who will motivate you and provide you with constructive criticism when necessary.

It is very important to be around such good people and try to avoid people who will try to demotivate you without any valid rationale behind it.

Stay Cheerful

Stay Cheerful

Stay cheerful. There are many problems and difficulties in life. But it never as bad as you think it is. Take a breath of fresh air, look out of the window, look at the birds, notice the sounds.

I know it sounds cliché and fake, but life isn't that bad. Look at the bright side.

Be Thankful

Be Thankful

Be thankful for what you have. It is very easy, very very easy to take many things for granted in our life. Just for a moment imagine the life of a person who lost his leg in an accident. He cant play football, or run in the grass, or just walk like you do. Still there is hope. It can just be you next time. One common road accident and its done.

Be thankful for what you have.

Enjoy Your Life

Enjoy Your Life

And at last. Enjoy your life. After all the years have passed, after you have become old, if you look back at your life what do you want to see?

The memories you made with your friends, your family, the life you have lived. That is all that matters in the end.

Smile and enjoy your life.
