Life is
great and we should live it to the fullest doing great things. Being a personal life coach, I came across many clients and their bad experiences, here I tried to define how you could lead a good life.
Contemplate
on thoughts and choices: Thought process has no end and we have so many
thoughts through-out the day. Every time we have a thought it is not possible
for us to check them and to correct them, instead we can put our efforts to
think positive and to make positive choices in life. Positive choices are the
ones that help us to become better and help us keep our calm and do well to
ourselves and others as well.
Look for
sources of motivation: Each person gets inspired by different thing, for someone
it’s money, for someone it may be a person, memories, name or fame. It differs
from person to person. So you need to find out what is it that drives you
towards success and achievement. Every day make sure that you are connected
with your motivational factor. The
more you are connected with your M-factor, the better you will perform.
Do what you
have to, to get what you want: The common mistake that most people
make is, they do ordinary things and expect extraordinary results from life.
This is a very common behavior. So if you expect great from life then you need
to think great and do great. When you are doing the job of a sales person and
you dream of becoming CEO, it’s actually great. But you need to work for it and
need to develop the mindset like that of a CEO and you need to increase your
capabilities to that level.
Master
Time: When you have control over the time you are spending, you
have control over activities and when you have control over your activities
then you have control over your life. So mastering time is a key factor that determines
the life of a person. One should know where to spend time and to what extent
and if someone knows this then he is sure to handle his life the better way.
Attitude
and situations in life: Always let your attitude determine the life’s
situations and never allow the situation to take charge of your attitude.
Hardly there will be times in someone’s life, when he feels happy about the
situation and when everything is in his favor. So instead if we correct our
attitude towards the situations we will be able to lead a peaceful life.
“A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not
discovered the value of life”
Charles Darwin
Watch out
your company: There is a saying that goes like this “show me your friends
and I will tell you who you are”. This is not just a saying but golden words
from someone who has studied life. Always try to keep the company of those
people who are more experienced than you in work and life. People who are
successful, motivational; who lead life like leaders by helping others and
adding value to their life. When you keep the company of such people you have
their influence on you and you start to learn from them life’s important
lessons.
Never give
up: If we compare the lives of people who are successful in their
life and are leading an exemplary life with the lives of those who are
experiencing failure, there is only one single difference and that is
successful people pursue their dreams till they become reality. And people who
are experiencing failure in either personal or professional life are those who
gave up working for their dreams. Reasons may be any but the end result is same
those who work till their dreams become true become successful. So you should
never give up as whatever the situation may be and shouldn’t stop until you
achieve your dream.
Vision: People who
are successful are those who have dreams and vision in life. If we lead life
without any motive or purpose then life becomes meaningless. A person with
vision is the one who has control over his future as he knows how he wants his
future to be and goes in that direction. Vision gives motivation and it helps
us becoming better every day to lead life with purpose.
Have faith
in yourself: Faith is everything in life whether it is towards God or any
other person or ultimately yourself. It is faith that leads people. There is a
saying that goes like this “what others say about you is their opinion about
you not your worth”. So having faith that there is a purpose in your life and
you have all the capabilities to accomplish it is the core aspect.
As every
day progresses improve: Some great
person has said that if you lead the life the same way as you did yesterday
without any improvement or progress in any sphere that is no life. With every
passing second and with every passing day, just think what values you’ve added
to your life and to the life of those around you. Try to improvise yourself by
improving your capabilities in every possible area, because life is meant to improve
and to progress.
“Live each day
like it’s your last” – Steve Jobs
