What are the rules to live by, if one must stay happy in life?
It’s actually very easy to be happy and stay happy if one is determined to be.
To stay happy, never take stress thinking about what others think about you. You will meet all kinds of people— jealous, cunning, people who will try to take advantage of you and what not, but not bothering about them and keeping a distance from them is a key to satisfaction in life.
Never make important decisions in hurry. Think of every loophole, all the pros and cons. Like in programming, you don’t wanna miss out the possibility of any fucking test case, otherwise all the hard work will go in vain and you end up wasting your precious time.
Have self control! It matters a lot. Aim for the future life you have dreamt of rather than wasting time on petty things which will give to temporary doze of joy. Keep calm and carry on!
Never get stressed or depressed due to failures. Take some time off and blow off some steam. Don’t overthink about the failure unless you are mentally prepared to face it. Try to ponder about your mistakes and make bold steps to rectify them.
Never forget who you are! Stick to your roots. No matter how rich or modern you have become, never forget your past and your background. Cherish the good memories. Never forget being humble to people.
Not being an asshole to people who care about you. Respect them and cherish them. Trust me, without them life comes crashing down. They are like Dynamic Programming to your lame and naive iterative code. In short, they make life simple.
Have a constant urge to learn more everyday. Set small small targets and achieve them within a reasonable period.
Have a healthy schedule. Workout. Eat healthy. Meditate. Don’t binge watch Netflix for 20 hours a day.
Here are my basic tenets I daily live by to achieving a happy and satisfied life;
Staying positive— This may especially be difficult when you are constantly surrounded by toxic individuals. It is better to have a positive outlook on life than be negative. Positive loving people attract positive people.
Be prudent and self reliant— It is wise to be prudent even if you are financially well off because one day you may be in dire financial straits.
Be mindful of your lifestyle. Stay alert and keep your mind open and active. A parachute and your mind only work when it is opened.
Show gratitude and compassion. This is quite specific. Don’t waste time fishing for compliments or trying to be number one by proving that you are right or winning an argument.
Have faith in your abilities to do what is right and always stay resilient and hopeful. There is light at the end of the tunnel unless the power is disconnected by Despair and Defeatism.
Motivate yourself. A person who is self discipline will easily motivate themselves because no one can do it for you. No on can take a shower or bath for you. Learn from your failures and move on.
Share your knowledge, wealth, and life experiences in a positive way using humour and fellowship to make people feel that they are not perfect human beings.
