Sometimes when I come across some excellent life advice I like to share it with you. This morning I found a post on Quora that gives excellent advice based on years of working as a psychologist with thousands of patients through many years. Here is my take on her advice:
1. Don’t make decisions when you are angry or you will end up doing stupid things that will make your life harder.
2. Be yourself: There is no need to get cosmetic surgery to be ‘more attractive’ or do a job to make someone else happy because, in the end, you will be miserable.
3. Don’t sweat the small stuff: Choose your battles and let the little things go. Life is too short to always be feeling upset.
4. Know your worth: Never put up with anyone demeaning you in your personal or professional life. It is not up to someone else to determine who you are and what you are worthy of.
5. It’s okay to ask for help: It is true that when we are going through a tough time we can save a lot of further problems by asking for some help. This is as true in our personal life when things are not going well as well as in our professional life when we need some assistance to accomplish something we do not know how to do ourselves or need some help figuring out what we want to do next.
6. Be very discerning with the one you choose to marry: Marriages can be amazing and they can make your life more miserable than you ever thought possible if married to the wrong person. Make sure your partner is uplifting, happy, and supportive of your goals and that you share the same values.
7. Make time for the people you love: I know from my own life that I have lost many people way too early…so make the time you need to spend the time with them while they are still around. This is especially true of the elderly that you love.
8. The best revenge is living well: Anger and resentment kill, period. Let it go and make a lovely life for yourself no longer allowing these negative events into your life. Choose who you spend time with wisely, drop the judgments, and do those things that bring you joy and fulfillment.
9. Treat others the way you want to be treated: It is amazing to me how many people speak negatively to and about others and is then amazed to find that their friends are no longer their friends. This is especially true in marriages and partnerships where one mate is undermining the other. Most people will reflect back to you exactly what you bring into their lives, so be thoughtful in how you interact with those who are in your life.
Unfortunately, I cannot find the original post because I wanted to share it with you having mistakenly lost the tab where the article was and I do not know the name of the author.
