SECOND CHANCE OF A HAPPY LIFE

Have you ever thought if you were given a second life? A second chance? Most would say WHAT? Are u insane? It’s impossible!

I have asked this question many a times from people, and you would be surprised to know that very few of them wanted to have money, fame, or power. On the other hand majority answered like:

• I would like to have a new start
• I would not make the same mistakes or blunders
• I would live as I wanted to
• I would enjoy every moment of it
• I would spend more quality time with my loved ones
• I would give priority to my family and friends
• I would forget all the miseries and painful memories
• I will forgive all the and live peacefully

Why is it so? Maybe, they have learnt the true meaning and purpose of living or they are more focused.

The reality is that we can start living again BUT by new mind-set and bringing small changes in this ONE and ONLY worldly life could change to a contented and happy journey as every other moment in life is a second chance for us till, we are alive.

This blog will give you few guidelines about a new startup in your life.

BE HOPEFUL
Hope is one thing that keeps us alive in tough times. But remember, the test is always tough for high achievers so be patient and bravely face these worldly problems. We know time never stays same, so wait as rough patches in life are always be followed by good times. Similarly, if you count the blessings, you have then you’ll develop gratitude and positive approach as true happiness is finding blessings. The key to success is believing and having full faith in the best planning of our creator.

HAVE A PURPOSEFUL LIFE
The main purpose of this life is to maintain a precise balance by following the right track, guided by certain set rules and regulations. This eventually forms of a society based on justice and equality where there is love, peace and prosperity. Problems arise when this delicate balance is disturbed, people break rules and cross boundaries, so every individual should try to follow the right code of conduct of life. We should live a purposeful life and also facilitate others.

SHARING IS CARING
The easiest way of getting inner peace is caring and sacrificing for others. It is not necessarily sharing your money, it could be simply giving a smile, offering a shoulder to cry, listening to all the worries, comforting about troubles, giving a fair advice, guiding to overcome difficulties, or simply standing beside someone at difficult times and not letting them loose in life. All this cleanses your  heart from negative emotions of  hatred, revenge, anger, and fills it with unconditional love for others.

LIVE IN THE MOMENT
Most people cannot forget and forgive and repeatedly recall the bad experiences and painful memories, without realizing the fact that past has gone forever in the dust of time and that time would never return. As a result, the wounds on their soul never get time to heal. It’s true that one should learn from mistakes and should never repeat them. It would be a new start if we live in present, delete all bad memories, or at least try not to recall. If you forgive others, gradually it would fade away and you’ll move on in life. Practice mindfulness by concentrating on the present moment to become more affirmative and peaceful.

QUALITY TIME
Try to spend more quality time with family and friends as we are happier when we interact with people we love. These are people who will always support and love us and would be there for us whatever the circumstances be in life. Try to surround yourself with optimistic people, spread positivity and enjoy small victories of life with your loved ones. This quality time could be simply getting together and talking, remembering, and sharing good memories, laughing, and enjoying jokes, having a family reunion or a vacation, it would be a great energy booster.

LOVE YOURSELF
We spend most of our lives in working hard, planning about unpredictable future, and worrying too much about what would people think about us. Sometimes we are so preoccupied that we waste time, in earning big fortunes just to fulfill our wishes, but is there any guarantee that we would be able to enjoy it? Have you ever realized that the basic physical needs of life are only food, clothes, and shelter; whereas emotional needs are to love and be loved? It’s your one and only chance with limited time, try to have a work and personal life balance, conquer yourself rather than the worlds around you.

HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Healthy eating of nourishing food, adequate sleep, exercise, yoga, meditation, spending time with nature, involving in creative activities like reading, writing, painting, music and acquiring various hobbies not only increases enthusiasm and positivity in life but also improves mental, physical health and general well-being.

Remember happiness is not a goal, it’s a reward of a well lived life.
