To lead a better life.

Declare what your life is for. Make it something extraordinary. It doesn’t matter if it’s becoming a billionaire or ending world hunger. It doesn’t have to the “right” thing, it’s not forever. Now if you make a declaration for your purpose or your goal(s), it does not mean you cannot change it later or expand it or just drop it and declare something else. Just declare what your life is for right now.

Right now, my life is for “being in action towards a world that works for everyone.” I’ll never accomplish it, but it is a good thing to be working towards.

There is“7 steps to lead a better life" everyday is precious, you hear a lot of people say starting Monday im going to quit smoking im going to manage my time well etc etc and then Monday rolls around and that's the same story all over again. The statement “I'll start tomorrow” is killing more dreams than you can imagine.

In my personal opinion here are few ways one might be able to lead a better life -

Love yourself

Along with the lack of clean water and air is also the lack of self love, people go through life seeking love from other people not realizing that when you don't love yourself you can love someone else truly. I dont think people realize the value and the importance of self love, comparison being the number one killer of self esteem has made people question their worth.

loving yourself might be a little difficult for some, but it is worth doing because that's one thing nobody can take away from you. Self love is understanding you do not need to be perfect to be good. It is truly the foundation of everything you want to achieve and where you go in life. Self love is not about being selfish its about doing what's best for you, understanding your needs and putting yourself first.

Be grateful

Many people misunderstand what being grateful means, being grateful is a feeling, many times in life we focus only on the negatives which most of us do, but how many times do you actually take notice of the blessings in disguise. Being grateful has led people to lead very successful lives, it keeps you humble and it also makes you feel happier.

A grateful heart is a contented heart. A contented heart is a simple heart. And a simple heart leads to a simplified life.

We forget to appreciate what we have, but you never realize what you have until its gone, many people have praticed being grateful and the outcome has only been more happiness, peace of mind and humility. The link below will explain why grateful people are always succeed.

Learn from your mistakes

One of the best ways to grow in life is to learn from your mistakes, even better- learn from the mistakes of others. Sometimes actions have consequences but some people choose not to learn from them and keep doing them anyway, learning from past mistakes only helps you become a better person.

In order to be a great leader and to even be a great example to others you first need to put your ego aside and learn from your mistakes, there's nothing wrong with making mistakes but you can tell a lot from a person who admits it and learns from it.

Mistakes have the power to turn you into something better than you were before.

Dont live in the past

The biggest reason people dont grow in life is because they are constantly living in the past, not realizing they dont live there anymore, living in the past also comes with another major problem — Overthinking.

You will never be free until you free yourself from the prison of your own false thoughts.

The past only holds you down and prevents you from becoming a better version of yourself, many people claim that they can't stop overthinking and living in the past but that's just an excuse. Letting go of the past is not a one day thing, it begins with you accepting it and realizing that it is not a dead end, there is more to life than you think, make an effort to not think about it and one day at a time you will move closer to your goal. Take the first step.

Take risks

The one thing everyone fears is taking a risk, but in reality taking a risk may be a win-win situation, if it doesn't work out you will always learn something. The main reason people dont take risks is because if the fear of failure, understand that you will not always succeed but taking the risk is always worth as you can never know where you might get to or what you may achieve.

The biggest risk is not taking one.

Life itself is a risk as nothing is guaranteed, you take some and you avoid the rest.Taking a risk wont always turn out the way you want it to, but you will always have something to take away from it.

Get out of your comfort zone

The comfort zone is where dreams go to die.

We all love the comfort zone, but what we dont understand is that change is inevitable, and we must constantly keep up with changing circumstances and this may sometimes mean getting out of your comfort zone.

You dont know what you are made of until you step out of your comfort zone, sometimes you have no choice because life puts you in a challenging situation, dont run away from it because it preparing you for the future.

the comfort zone prevents you from achieving your goals and reaching your potential which kills your dreams

the only way you’ll ever be able to become more than you are is by experiencing what is outside of you.

To be able to live life to the fullest you need to start by getting out of your comfort zone. The article below will help you understand more about how your comfort zone is killing you.

Learn to love without condition, talk without bad intention, give without any reason, and most of all care for people without any expectation.

You can't make excuses if you want to lead a better life, you are always one decision away from a completely different life, a small change everyday takes you one step closer to where you want to be, life isn't complicated it's just that we as humans have set so many fake standards that people try to live up to, be you, do you, and that's the way to be happy. The more you praise and celebrate life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
