Life Improvement Tips For The Wise Few

Are you the type of person that lives daily thinking about what you need, and what is stopping you from being happy. Are you not satisfied or happy, because certain things are missing in your life.

The more you want and the more you say to yourself that once you get it you will be happy. The truth be told, you will never get it, and you will always be unhappy. You have to understand this concept and stop the wanting, and the negative pep-talk. What you have right now is what you desire and what you deserve. You first have to be happy with what you have right now before you can get more out of life.

Let me try to break this down, make it much easier to understand. You have to enjoy each day the Lord gives.

Let’s say your away studying, and all you do is study and you forget about socializing, making new friends, going out with friends, just enjoying yourself. You want to not do these things, because you have set your mind on your goal. The goal of finishing your school without failing any subjects or repeating a semester.

What happens daily, is you telling yourself that you will wait to enjoy life, and study hard now. Once you have that diploma, you will have enough time to enjoy life.

What you don’t know, is that you are missing out on life, your not enjoying the years while your studying. And what happens is that you loose all your social skills, and you gain absolutely no friends but the “dust” from the books. Your life is very boring, and it is no bother to you now, because your sticking to your plan.

Four years later…

Your on the podium, you graduated and have passed all your exams, you get all the honors and top awards, you passed “Magna Cum Laude”. When going up the podium to receive your diploma, you reflect on the passed four years, and realize, what you have accomplished. You then give this great speech, about what it takes to make it, and what you should do to make it.

The next day your back to the realm, all the adrenaline of passing has faded, you sit down to honestly reflect the past four years.

What you realized is: I have graduated and…. I am still not happy, I have no friends and no life.

You got it, that Diploma you so much desired, and you realize that your still not happy, so there is something wrong here. The problem here is that, you can’t put off your happiness, you have to enjoy life and at the same time set goals and stick with them. Study hard, but take time out to do the fun things of life.

It makes no sense accomplishing all those dreams to only end up a sad and unhappy person. Plan your life in your mind, set goals to accomplish those dreams, but enjoy each and every waking moment, because we can’t reverse the clock and enjoy our past, but we can reflect on the happy moments spent in the past.

Let me give you another example:

St. Maarten is the smallest Island, with the longest “Diamond Mile” in the Caribbean, and they have Millions of Tourist that visit this paradise each and every year. As seen, many of them plan their vacations, but, then you see many elder folks struggling and moving around with big bags as they manipulate their way in and out of those stores.

When you speak with them they say that they worked hard for years, and they are now enjoying life. I honestly don’t agree with that lifestyle, I think we should balance life, and save and enjoy vacations while we are still young, and with the family. They have saved, and now that their children are grown, they plan on enjoying their life.

I don’t know how much you can enjoy, when you are over sixty, while walking for hours looking at jewels. I believe in balancing life and in better planning. Commit to enjoy life while your strong and young, that way you will grow old, and be much happier. You can still take vacations with the family and they will be more fun even when your old.

And for those who can’t go on any vacations, then it still remains the same, enjoy life with what you have and what you can afford. If you see the 42″ Flat Screen LCD TV, and you honestly know it will make you happy, plan for it and go and buy it. Just don’t send yourself in dept for the simple pleasures of life, but do the things that will make you happy.

Buy the things you can afford, now.

Let’s analyze this situation together, and I bet you will agree. Today we will spend tens of thousands of dollars on a heart transplant. But, we won’t spend ten thousand on a stress free vacation, that would have prevented that heart attack.

You have to get away from it all, and take time out to think, stop waiting on that one thing that will make you happy, it will never happen. Happiness starts on the inside and it cost the less to achieve. Spend time alone, and reflect and make changes that will bring more happiness your way.

Stop this:

1. When I leave home, I will get away from my folks and be finally happy
2. When I find the perfect soul mate, then I will be happy
3. When I get a son, then I will be happy
4. When I get that new Job, then I will be happy
5. When I get married, then I will be happy
6. When I get a home with a pool, then I will be happy
7. When my sister says sorry, then I will be happy
8. When I finish my schooling, I will be happy
9. When I get that new car, then I will be happy
10. When I reach my potential, I will finally be happy
11. When I move to the MOON, then I will be happy

I can drag this list on and on, but it all reflects the same thing, you have to stop fooling yourself and thinking that there is something missing in your life. You are whole, perfect and complete, everything you wish or look for you already have… and that is good health and a powerful mind to accomplish and get all the things you wish, if you would only enjoy what you have now.

Stop the wanting, just enjoy what you have, plan for better and more, while at the same time enjoying your life.
