Sometimes we go through life without giving much thought to how we live each day. Then somewhere down the line, we come to the realization that our lives meant nothing and we have accomplished very little.

So with this post, I thought of sharing some hard-learned lessons so that you can re-evaluate yourself:

How to Live more and Worry less…

1. Learn to relax at work.
2. Do the very best you can.
3. Put a genuine enthusiasm into your work.
4. Remember that unfair criticism is often a compliment in disguise.
5. Keep a uncluttered table, except those relating to the immediate problem. Remember: “A clear table is a clear mind”
6. When a problem arises, solve it then and there if you have all the facts necessary to make a sound decision.
7. Whenever needed, organize, supervise, and deputize.
8. Prioritize and do things in the order of their importance.
9. Find who you are and be yourself. Remember, there is no one else on earth like you.
10. Count your blessings – not your troubles.
11. Reach for the stars! If you fail at this, then at least you can fallback on the clouds.

How to Win Friends and Influence People

1. Try your very best not to criticize, condemn, or complain.
2. Whenever deserved give, honest and sincere appreciation.
3. Arouse in the other person an eager want.
4. Take a genuine interest in other people.
5. Make the other person feel important – sincerely.
6. Show respect for the other person’s opinions by first listening to what they have to say. Never say, “You’re wrong.”
7. Be friendly in all your communications.
8. Let the other person feel that the idea is theirs.
9. Submit to the nobler motives.
10. Never point out people’s mistakes in a crowd, do it indirectly or privately. They will admire you for it.
11. Admit and talk about your mistakes before criticizing the other person.
12. Ask instead of giving orders.
13. Let the other person save face.

Someone recently asked me,

“If there was ever anything I wanted to change in my life, what would it be?”

I thought about it for a moment and undoubtedly the first few things that ran through my mind were the bad times in my life…

Then again, when I took the time to visualize my life at a glimpse, what I realized was that my entire life has been exactly the way I wanted it to be… sure a few things might have been unexpected or unwanted but they were precisely because of the choices I made at the time.

Sometimes we make choices in our lives that may seem significant (or not) at the time but I strongly believe that by some strange inner force within ourselves we are unconsciously guiding ourselves to do exactly what we are meant to do.

So the next time you feel like regretting anything you have done in your life, DON’T! You did exactly what you were meant to do and precisely what you wanted to do. Just know that life is way too short to be worrying about what you could have done and could have said. So stop worrying and start living!!!
