HAPPY STEP IS..

I don't mean to make a boring entry this time by listing some happy steps here. They are sent to me from a close unique friend of mine since I had some tough time in life few weeks ago. My friend sent them 1 by 1, 1 a day, until my SMS Inbox is almost full now. Although it makes no help when I received them, (in very very bad mood ma,, how to think wisely??) I'm glad that I have this unique friend, and so I want to save them here, for viewing in the future. I hope you will get inspired too :)

HAPPY STEP:
  • Remind yourself that you can to do what you need to do & reward yourself as often as possible for doing what you have done.
  • Live in present moment. The only moment we can truly be happy & have control is the present moment. So be happy now because if not now, then when?
  • Control what you can control. Accept what you can't control. And learn to be wise enough to know the difference.
  • Manage your time & priorities. Happy ppl believe they more in control of their lives. They are more likely to take active approach to solve problems.
  • If something is not quite right in your life, do something. And further, make sure that what you are doing is important. Put first things first.
  • Play and have fun. Don't take life too seriously. We all have responsibilities yet we can approach much of our lives in playful manner.
  • Weed out unhelpful thoughts. Learn first to identify your thoughts & then begin to challenge those that are negative and unhelpful.
  • Socialise & interact as much as possible. Happy ppl have more & better quality relationships. It's worthwhile improving the no of relationships
  • Find a buddy with whom to exercise, challenge negative thoughts, or whatever. Most activities are more enjoyable with a supportive friend.
  • Learn to like & idealy love yourself. We must love b4 we can be loved. To love others & to be loved by others is a key component of happiness.
  • Identify your strengths. Know your faults and weaknesses to avoid problems. Know the strengths to be really happy and to succeed in life.

and some "philosophy and wise word of life"

  • Remind yourself to be your own best friend & challenge your own negative thinking & self-criticism the same way.
  • Be aware of unhelpful thoughts & try to become more realistic in assessing the likely outcome that we tend to overestimate. Don't be unreasonably positive.
  • When you are trying to solve problem, make sure you evaluate possible solutions in more balanced way- paying attention to what may go wrong and vice versa.
  • Worry is a common problem- many of us will experience at some stage in our lives & works against happiness-yet it is a problem that can be overcome.
  • The central method for a happier life is to train your mind in a daily practice that weakens negative attitudes & strengthens positive ones - Dalai Lamaos
  • Time is like river. You cannot touch the same water twice, bcos the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of life!
  • Life has no rewinds and forwards, it unfolds itself at its own pace. So never miss a chance to live today & make a beautiful story for tomorrow.
  • Life ends when u stop dreaming, hope ends when u stop believing, love ends when u stop caring, so dream, hope & love. Life is beautiful.
  • Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on the rewards. poor focus on the risks. (T. HarvEker, in his book, Secrets of Millionaire Mind)
  • The mountains are not as high, the seas not as deep and the skies not as bright as a dream.
  • Someday beyond our tears and all the words wrong there will be love, compassion, and justice and we shall all understand.

Now I can have mroe space in my phone. Enjoy!
