Smile

Simple, right? All you have to do is make an effort to smile more. Smile at someone you pass on the street. Smile at someone who looks a little sad. Smile because everything is going to be just fine.

No Comparing

You can’t compare yourself to others. You don’t know what their life is all about and they don’t know what yours is about either. Stop comparing and enjoy your own journey. Feel blessed for you what you have because somewhere there is someone else feeling blessed for having much less than you.

Forget about What Others Think

First off, someone else’s thoughts are really none of your business, even if they are about you. That stings a little, but let that truth set you free. Don’t worry about the opinions of others. You can’t change what they think or how they feel anyways.

Stop Thinking so Much

While we are on the subject of thinking, why don’t we just stop that one altogether? Not completely, but let’s not overthink things anymore. It’s okay if you don’t have all the answers. No one should expect that from you, but you will have the answers you need when you need them most.

Time Heals

Know that some things just take time to heal. You can’t rush through the process, but know that your hurts will eventually get better over time if you allow the process to happen. Take it day-by-day until it’s a distant memory.

Famous Quotes

Silence at the proper season is wisdom, and better than any speech.

Plutarch

Only You Can Control Your Happiness

Yes! Your happiness is not dependent upon another person. Having a man won’t make you happier, having a baby won’t make you happier. Only you and your actions can control your happiness. What are you going to do about it?

Make Peace with the past

Don’t allow the past to control your present life. Make peace with it. Know that your past mistakes, behaviors, and relationships will only affect your present life if you let them. Forgive and move on.

Following these cardinal rules will help you find peace and direction in life. What are some major rules you follow for yourself? Do you think any of these will help you?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

@ Alyx - don't worry I know you're just trying to help. I think we're all just different and trying to express different opinions.

@sharon you seem like a nice person

Don't forget to be grateful to God

What wonderful thought

This is one of the best posts here ever! Thank you.

@Alyx sorry didn't intend to offend you or anybody

Try to leave the world a better place than how you found it. All the little things add up over the years.

Tricky, but these are good. I would say be good to the environment around you and recycle and compost as much as possible. Much more can be composted then the first thought, research what can't be in your area, but dispose of it properly and not in the sea or on the ground. Get reusable bags and make a goal of using them instead of polluting plastic ones.

Great post. I am trying the smiling thing but I get a bit worried that people won't smile and yet when I dare to do so people smile back. How silly am I to think otherwise. It's a good feeling try it

Thanks so much. Posted at the right time 😔
