Do not Worry, Be Happy, or a few simple rules to a happy life

Sometimes too obsessive desire to achieve perfection robs us of peace and transforms all life in a continuous race. "What, you have not started your startup failure?", "And you, dohlyak, you still do not run a marathon?" "Well, stupid, how many books have you read this week?". From these questions, especially when they have to ask yourself, can become depressed and hate forever business, sports and books in any form.

Life is simple, do not complicate things

Life is simple just as much as you take it, but no more. If all the things that you feel are too complex, it is so for you and they will. If you want to drink, just drink a glass of water, not to speculate on how this will affect the global water balance and the melting of glaciers. If you like someone, then just say so, but do not dive in the months of suffering. Any action is better than fruitless deliberation, because it brings results. No need to complicate simple things, but rather, on the contrary, to simplify complex.

Do not take things too personally

Not every bad event that happens to you, personally directed against you. A dog that barked you on the road, did it not because she has anything against you personally. And this unpleasant waiter was rude to you not because of the fact that the set a goal to offend you. Just sometimes it happens. Many of the adverse events in our lives happen not because of the fact that with you that something is wrong or the universe was against you conspiracy. Do not take everything to heart, it is the prose of life, which does not depend on you.

You do not have to be perfect

Because perfection does not exist. Absolutely no one is perfect. And you can never be perfect. As soon as you pump up the cubes on the belly, you will find that you have too thin legs. Once you learn English, you will find that everything is already teach Chinese. Once you earn your first million, you want to jump into the list of billionaires.

It makes sense only the pursuit of excellence, the process itself, not a goal. And this process should bring you pleasure, not punishment. If you are in a hurry and like to run, read and learn, then you are welcome; if every time break yourself through knee-deep, it is not necessary - look for something to their liking.

Compete only with yourself

Comparing yourself to others and the desire to conquer all along the way - the right way to drive yourself into a corner. It's like a fight with the dragon, which has in place a severed immediately grows two new heads. Therefore, the only fight that you can afford in your life, it's a fight with yourself. And according to a strictly defined rules specified in the preceding paragraph.

You want to be always right? Or have a good relationship?

A small opening: not always win and achieve its goal makes us happy.

It's like after a hot argument: do you burned arguments sprinkled evidence defeated opponent in the dust, and then calmed down and even somehow became uncomfortable. And shame. And sorry for the person.

It is not always necessary to prove his innocence at any cost. Sometimes it's better to smile and look away. Value ratio and your peace of mind, sometimes it is more expensive than the truth.

You - it's not your job

It is clear that we must all work. We have a responsibility and everyone has to earn a living.

But it is impossible to work was the foundation of your life, even if you really like it. Your production success and failure - it's not your whole life. Leave them in the office, it would be better for you and for them. Live your life, make new hobbies, travel, express themselves in art. Ultimately, this will benefit and your work.

You amazingly lucky. You - elected

If you are reading these lines, it is obvious that you can read. You have a computer, tablet or smartphone and an Internet connection. I can safely assume that you are today is normal breakfast and lunch are not less successful. In the evening you will return to his home, where surely there is water, heating and light.

Congratulations! You have entered a very small percentage of the world's population that has access to all of these benefits. Remember this every time you want to complain to life and feel sorry for yourself unhappy.

Just for Fun

Remember how long have you been doing anything just for pleasure? Not to perform the quarterly plan, not for the result on the treadmill, but just for the sake of entertainment and fun?

No, no one calls to indulge in all serious, but sometimes can be yourself and be pampered. Take care of things you love, smile, relax. Let go of the reins a little, you are not a horse.
