If you want to live a purposeful life, you must embrace change.
We don't like change, but we can't live without it.
Why is that? Because change is life. It is growth.
If we are not changing, we are dying.
If you want to change your life, be real with yourself. According to
Mel Robbins, 'To change your life, you need to learn how to
honor your feelings more than anyone else's.'' She is right.
Do not change because other people are changing.
Change because it is the right thing to do for yourself.
If you want to change your life, do not focus on what you do not have.
Do not focus on what you cannot do. Instead, use what you have to
change the direction of your life. Mel Robbins is right when she said,
'When you focus on what is wrong, you will never change.'' So if you
want to change your life, focus on what is right, not on what is wrong.
You can do it. And now is the time to start. If not now, when?
“The happiness of one’s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul, one must try it include, as necessary to one’s own happiness, the happiness of others.”- Paramahansa Yogananda
Happiness is not what you keep; it is what you give to other people. When it comes to your own happiness, you are responsible for making yourself happy. Happiness is a make-it-yourself business. Remember, you cannot find happiness by doing the wrong things. You cannot find happiness by thinking the wrong thoughts. If you want to find your own happiness, you must think well.
To live a happier life, here are some strategies for you:
Believe in the glory of God
When you believe in the glory of God, nothing can touch you. If you are going to reach your highest potential in your life, you have got to believe in the glory of God. Charles Spurgeon said, “Nothing is able to damage the glory of God.” If nothing can damage the glory of God, nothing can damage you.
Focus on what you have
You cannot find happiness if you do not focus on what makes you really happy. Wealth comes from enjoying what you have. Wealth doesn’t come from chasing what you don’t have. It is what you have right now that is going to make you really happy.
Even if you don’t focus on what you have, even if you don’t slow down to enjoy what you have, but do not forget to love yourself, to give yourself true love. Soren Kierkegaard said, “Above all do not forget your duty to love yourself.” Do not let the fear of other people’s opinions of you stop you from loving yourself. If you cannot love yourself, no one can love you.
Be patient with yourself
Be patient with yourself. Slow down to enjoy the good life. Stop running. Life is not about running; it is about you. It is about spending time with yourself. It is about listening to your inner voice. Soren Kierkegaard said, “Most men pursue pleasure with such breathless haste that they hurry past it.” Carl Rogers said, “The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction not a destination.” Do you agree with Carl Rogers?
