6. We are never going to be perfect
We are not perfect. Nobody is. Neither can we ever be perfect. Stop looking for perfection. Try to address your weaknesses and improve them so that they don’t make your life any messier.
7. There will be changes whether you want them or not
Nothing remains stable. You might think something to be permanent but the next moment it might go all upside-down. Change is inevitable. Don’t resist it.
8. Wasted time is time lost forever
Wasted time is dead and gone. Time always flows, and it flows forward. It never comes back for you. Once you have grown old, you’re never going to go back. Every second counts. So start managing your time better. It’s not as difficult as you believe it is!
9. It’s not always going to be the way we think it'll be
You may plan however way you want your life to go for you, but life is uncertain. However well you plan it, it may just go to waste. That’s okay – we learn, and we pick up ourselves and move on.
10. Time is precious, not money
Money is necessary. I do not deny that but what is more important is time. Managing time and not wasting it in playfulness will help you with doing what you wished to achieve. And that’s happiness.
11. Don’t try to make everybody happy
Nobody can make everybody happy. You’ll always have someone who’ll criticize you, and someone will always try to stop you from doing what you had always wanted to do. Try to be happy yourself. Those who value you will be happy with your happiness.
12. To live comfortably, be productive
You can’t live life without a purpose. You must have a goal to pursue that will lend your life meaning. To live in comfort, be productive and do everything to reach that goal.
13. Stop existing, start living
There’s a difference between existing and living. Living is experiencing. We are unfortunately pushed into a rat race early on in our lives. While competing in this race, we often forget to experience life. Stop for a while, look around you. Experience life for once – you’ll begin living more and get away from mere existence.
