Five Principles For A Calmer And Happier Life

We all have our own principles that guide our lives. They help us make our decisions in our daily lives as well as in making important and significant choices.

Today we offer you five life principles that could be helpful if you want to live more peacefully and happily.

Choose the ones you like and try them out. 🌞

💚 Don't waste your time. Build clear priorities of what is important to you and what is not. Then this principle becomes very easy to follow. Do those things that are important to you and don't spend time on the unimportant ones.

🟣 Examples: If your intellectual development is important, find time for books. If people are important to you, find time to be with them. Eliminate anything that wastes your time and feels wasted.

💚 All evil is for good. This is a very hard principle to follow, but it is guaranteed to make you happier. We can't take every evil in our lives as a blessing, but we can try to look at things more positively.

🟣 Examples: The missed bus was clearly not for you; heartbreak will lead to a new and happier relationship; broken things bring happiness... and occasion for new acquisitions.

💚 Go ahead without expecting. Learn to give genuinely, from the heart, without selfish motives and without expecting anything in return. There is no better feeling than to have given, even if it is insignificantly small. Give smiles and kind words to others, give gifts to people you love and even to strangers. You will be surprised how much more satisfying your life will be.

🟣 Examples: Give clothes; smile more often at strangers; always say hello and wish them a good day; give gifts often, even if they are small; give what you have and can.  

💚 Don't let the little things get to you. Every time something important happens in our lives, we remind ourselves of how insignificant all those little things are that we agonize over for days, months and even years. And then we seem to forget and go back to that bad habit again. Learn not to get angry and sad about things that are not worth it.

🟣 Examples: Just ask yourself this question - "What difference will it make tomorrow? What about a week from now? A year from now? In 5 years? In 10 years?"

💚 Never betray your principles. Do you know how much trouble and inner torment you will save yourself if you just stay true to yourself and your principles. Yes, it's certainly hard to stay true to yourself in absolutely every situation, but from a challenge, it can easily become a habit. All it takes is perseverance and dedication.

🟣 Examples: If you are a punctual person, never be late. If you insist on honesty, always be fair and forthright. If you are a good person, always ask yourself if your deed is good. If you are a funny person, just remember to smile.
