Lately I have been compiling a lot of motivational articles as well as books to use for my own training purposes and I find the following very useful. I have shared this with one friend and he seems very inspired. But one thing he shared with me after reading it through, “If we can do all these, we will turn into an honorable saint.”
How true can that be? Why not we do ALL the following and find out ourselves.
FOR A BETTER LIFE
1. Take a 10 to 30 minutes walk each day with a happy smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.

4. Look into the mirror with a smile each morning and complete this statement “My purpose today is to…………”
5. Each night before you close your eyes to sleep, complete this statement “I am thankful for……. Today I have accomplished…….”
6. Live with the 3 E’s – Energy-Enthusiasm-Empathy -
7. Play more – read more.
8. Practice Yoga, meditation & Tai Chi to re-fuel our inner energy.
9. Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
10. Dream more while you are awake.
11. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants.
12. Drink plenty of water and green tea.
13. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge-card.

15. Smile and laugh more each day!
16. Clear clutters away from your work desk and home to allow positive energy flowing into your life.
17. Don’t waste any precious time and energy on gossips, back-stabbing, issues & negative thoughts of the past. You can never change the past but you can certainly have some control of your future.
18. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are like the maths quiz that you are unable to solve, but once you learn how to do it, the knowledge will last a lifetime.
19. Accept that life isn’t always fair. But life can be good if you allow it to be.
20. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
21. Don’t take yourself too seriously. No one else does!
22. You don’t need to win every argument. Agree to disagree and life will be better.
23. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
24. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea how their journey in life has been.
25. No one else is in-charge of your own happiness except yourself.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words – “In 5 years, will this matter?”
27. Forgive and forget.
28. What other people think of you is none of your business!
29. Change is the most common phenomenal in the world. So no matter how bad a situation is, it will change in time.
30. Your job won’t take care of you when you’re sick, your family and friends will. So make the effort to keep in touch.
31. Get rid of EVERYTHING that is not beautiful, joyful and useful.
32. Envy & jealousy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
33. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
34. Enjoy the ride through your journey in life. Remember you are not on a roller-coaster ride and you don’t need a fast past. You only get to life once, appreciate and enjoy a beautiful journey.
35. Do the right thing!
It's going to take awhile for me to be able to incorporate the above list into my life and may take a bit more time to complete all the above, but if it takes only 35 tasks for me to turn into an "angel" then it's going to worth all the effort I will most probably start with doing things I enjoy and be happy. After all, Life is too short to be wasted on doing things I don't enjoy. See?? I'm already starting task #25......... and #10! Haha!!
