4 min readApr 4, 2021
Life is full of unexpected events, we all have ups and downs. How we choose to respond to them is what matters.
It is our power of choice that enables us to bring positive changes in our life. That way we can make our life better. Life is full of opportunities, the more opportunities you take to make your life better, the more fulfilled and happier our lives become.
If you are wondering how to bring change in your life, here are some basic steps you can start with:
FIND MEANING:
- Spend some time trying to figure out what is important in your life and what is not. Some of us are living an aimless life cause we accept life as it is. We don’t try to bring change which is wrong. If you are living a life without a purpose then you don’t know where life will take you. Purpose gives us directions in life. In order to live a better life, we must find the meaning of our life and set goals.
BE YOURSELF:
- Accept yourself for who you are. You’re never going to be really happy until you accept the fact that you’re you. You are special. One of the problems that we face is that we think we are not perfect. Choose to be loving towards yourself and your flaws. Perfection doesn’t exist, what we see is the beautiful version of imperfection. When you accept yourself for who you are and love yourself endlessly, then you don’t need others to accept you.
STOP EXPECTING:
- Don’t expect people to love you when you can’t love yourself.
- Don’t expect people to accept who you are when you cant accept yourself.
- Don’t expect people to respect you when you can’t respect yourself.
- Don’t expect people to understand you when you can’t understand yourself.
- don’t expect people to tell you what you’re supposed to do when you don’t know what you want.
- Don’t let people rule over your life when you can’t control it yourself.
SEEK GREATNESS IN SMALL THINGS:
- We idolize perfection a lot, a person living with luxurious life standards would attract us more than the one living in small huts. By giving so much attention to the unnecessary things we want in our life, we are neglecting the presence of other beautiful things we have. We are blessed with several things that we are not thankful for because we always want more. I’d say we are greedy of love, money, happiness. We want more which is not an appreciated characteristic of a person. Life is too short to think of what you don’t have. Be thankful for what you do. God is never unfair or unjust to anyone. We all have what we’ve worked for and what we deserve. Little things are big.
LIVE IN THE MOMENT:
- Life becomes more fulfilled when we realize the fact it’s too short to be wasted thinking about what happened and what will happen. Either we live in the ocean of our regrets and criticise ourselves for the troubles we created or we live worrying about what will happen tomorrow. Life gets way easier when one lives in the present and enjoy every moment keeping in mind that we will not get to live these moments twice.
FOCUS ON WHAT MATTERS:
- Ignore the things that don’t matter. Life is too short to be spent crying over your regrets, wanting what is not achievable, letting people judge you, and so many more problems we tend to focus on instead of focusing on what matters. If you have family, friends, people who care for you then love them. If you have achieved what you’ve always wanted to then be proud of yourself. If you have dreams then achieve them before it’s too late.
BE KIND TO OTHERS:
- In a world where you can achieve and be everything, your number one job should be to be kind to others. Our behaviour with our people matters a lot. it shows how good we are as a person. I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than the one who treats others with kindness. Being kind to others is the most beautiful thing one can do to make the other person happy. It not only makes them happy but it also brings a positive change to your mindset.
That’s all you can do to change your life for the better. Sometimes all we need is a bit of change to feel the positivity around ourselves. Surround yourself with good people and try to be the best version of yourself when you’re around them.
