Big 7

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time, who never loses any.

"90% of our happiness isn’t based on what’s happening in the world! It’s based on how we see the world."

Motivation doesn’t cause action.Action causes motivation.

Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.

It's important that you break the barriers to do the things you love most but it seems scary to you.Just try this cycle: Just Do that task --> then it feels you can do --> then you will feel to do that again --> do the task...

#7 Just Do it

"I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man who had no feet.”

Be yourself! The Authentic YOU! The most important thing in life is the relationship with yourself - not with another person.You can’t be yourself until you hold a high opinion of yourself and others.What do you do on a Saturday morning when you have nothing to do? Your authentic self should go toward that . . .

#8 Be YOU

Remember that retirement is not always the key to happiness. It's more important that you remember your IKIGAY (the reason for waking up in the morning) and remain active for the rest of your life.In a week you have a total of 168 hours - divide it into 3 buckets - 56 hours each. 1st bucket is for sleep (8 hours/ day), the next 56 hours is for your work life, and the remaining time is your purpose full work which will make you happy.

#4 Never Retire

There is nothing more satisfying than being loved for who you are and nothing more painful than being loved for who you’re not but pretending to be.

Be confident in your thoughts and emotions - ensuring that you don't live a life of others' opinions.“You make up your own mind. My advice is to become creatively indifferent to all advice. Hear it, but decide what to do yourself.” ...."Don’t take advice."

#9 Don't Take Advice

"If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same..."

It’s not necessarily the reality that shapes us but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality.

Everything that you do, you should do it for you or for your happiness (sometimes helping others also give happiness to us)Don't set goals. Because if you set goals and then achieve them you again set another one and you fall into a trap of endless goals.So, try to do the small things which will improve your life and find happiness in each moment.

#2 Do It for You

The way you spend your time is more important than how much money you earn in a week or month.Money is not the key to happiness, but it is needed to going through life just like you need fuel for your car to go from one destination to another... money is just that fuel in life.

#5 Overvalue You

It's important that you start from a place of happiness and participate in the activities just because you are enjoying them.The single biggest reason it’s so hard to be happy Shakespeare says, “For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” But if it’s just thinking, plain thinking, why can’t we think ourselves into a good mood whenever we want? Seems like we should be able to just flip a mental switch.

#1 Be Happy Now

"Our problem-scanning machine spends its day looking for worries. It’s helpful when you’re in serious trouble but stressful when you’re not. On top of that, we’re living in a Culture of More versus a Culture of Enough. Everywhere we look, we are reminded of what else we need. You can move to a shack in the woods to get away from it all! But we’d miss you too much there. Please don’t do that."Always remember how lucky you are to be where you are. Remember you have enough! Remember more isn’t always better.Remember the lottery.

#3 Remember The Lottery

In order to reduce stress in your life and enjoy the things that really matter you have to give yourself enough time and ensure that you have less to choose from.<ul><li>Automate the tasks which have low importance and take less time. </li><li>The tasks which have high importance but take less time - just do those tasks then! </li><li>Regulate or set time for those tasks which are less important but take more time.</li><li>That tasks which have high importance and take much time - discuss it with someone.</li></ul>

Mood Boosters: Put Yourself in a Happy Mood 

"What's the formula for a happy life? In THE HAPPINESS EQUATION, Neil illustrates how to want nothing, do anything, and have everything"--

Books

The #1 international bestseller from the author of You Are Awesome and The Book of Awesome that “reveals how all of us can live happier lives” (Gretchen Rubin).   What is the formula for a happy life? Neil Pasricha is a Harvard MBA, a New York Times–bestselling author, a Walmart executive, a father, a husband. After selling more than a million copies of the Book of Awesome series, wherein he observed the everyday things he thought were awesome, he now shifts his focus to the practicalities of living an awesome life. In his new book The Happiness Equation, Pasricha illustrates how to want nothing and do anything in order to have everything. If that sounds like a contradiction in terms, you simply have yet to unlock the 9 Secrets to Happiness. Each secret takes a piece out of the core of common sense, turns it on its head to present it in a completely new light, and then provides practical and specific guidelines for how to apply this new outlook to lead a fulfilling life. Once you've unlocked Pasricha’s 9 Secrets, you will understand counter intuitive concepts such as: Success Does Not Lead to Happiness, Never Take Advice, and Retirement Is a Broken Theory. You will learn and then master three brand-new fundamental life tests: the Saturday Morning Test, The Bench Test, and the Five People Test. You will know the difference between external goals and internal goals and how to make more money than a Harvard MBA (hint: it has nothing to do with your annual salary). You will discover that true wealth has nothing to do with money, multitasking is a myth, and the elimination of options leads to more choice. The Happiness Equation is a book that will change how you think about pretty much everything—your time, your career, your relationships, your family, and, ultimately, of course, your happiness.
