I have found that if we make a habit of doing the following on a regular basis (preferably daily!) then our lives could be different:

1. Thank God for being alive.
2. Have a list of dreams and goals and affirm them to yourself, aloud!
3. Forgive everyone! (Difficult? More on this later)
4. Sleep LESS – Live More! (What am I talking about!)
5. Watch LESS TV? (Do you HAVE TO? Check this out)
6. Be happy with what you have. Look at the people who are below you – Happiness is always from within (The Bird!)
7. Give yourself 10 minutes everyday, alone. Ask questions like where am I going, what did I do right or wrong today and what do I need to improve.
8. Read anything for at least 15 minutes, every day.
9. Say ‘Thanks’, ‘Please’ and ‘Sorry’ more.
10. Power Hour: Every morning give yourself an hour: 20 minutes each for your Body(exercise), Mind(read enlightening stuff, not fiction!) and Soul(pray/meditate)
11. Harm no one, Spread love…
12. Try to give away something once in a while. It could be time or money.
13. Before you begin to worry about something, ask yourself: “Would this matter a year from now?”
14. Don’t sweat the small stuff…And its ALL small stuff.*

These are by no means the only things that would create a beautiful life. Please feel free to add your thoughts in the comments section below.

Have a great life!
Keep dreaming.
Shoot for the moon!
