10 things we need to remember to live an abundant and advanced life

1. Be humble

The main source of defeat is by feeding the ego and act from its lousy reasoning. When the ego dictates us to act arrogantly or on a revengeful manner, we automatically lose the game for it closes the doors for intimacy and destroys the good that is left between you and your person.

In addition, dwelling in these arrogant thoughts provokes negative feelings such as hatred which causes us to perform unnecessary judgments and or punishments on ourselves. We might think that by hurting other people, we have won but in reality, we are hurting ourselves. Even if we don't want to admit it, we all feel guilty after commiting unnecessary revenge to people regardless of how tiny the act was.

Learning to forgive and forget is the best skill in the world and it has been proven for so many centuries to have solves 99.9% of all the misunderstandings of relationships. Being humble on things and acting from the love perspective, we can all live a very abundant and advanced life.

Remember, today is more important than yesterday.

2. Be thankful

Focusing what we don't have takes away our attention for what we have today. It's mandatory to be mindful of what we do because blessings loves to stay where it is being appreciated and it goes as quickly if it's not.

Most of us habitually think about the things others have and we compare it to our own, a very unhealthy habit which causes harmful consequences including insecurity and depression. If we are not mindful about our habits, we will always fail.

Looking inside ourselves is the ultimate sophistication of a grateful heart. Acknowledging the blessing of being alive, having family, having support, etcetera. It's a wonderful blessing from God. He always gives us something to be proud about, to be thankful about, yet oftentimes we take it all for granted and mourn for what we don't have. It's terrible. Imagine what God will feel.

Opening our eyes and souls to everyday greatness leads to a better day-to-day living, even healthier future. Thus, providing strong foundations for all types of relationships. Being thankful is the ultimate source of abundance, if abundance is being sought after.

3. Get up at the same time

Self-discipline is gained through disciplined activity no matter how little it is. Having a routine is a very helpful habit of the successful. No man can get through the day without a routine, some people may argue that they want to be spontaneous but if we carefully evaluate them, they are the slackers and the speculators. There is nothing wrong with spontaneous living, but we place it at the right time and the right moment.

Having a beautiful day means taking charge of our day. Therefore a routine is required. To have the day we want is to prepare for it, make a schedule, and follow through. Nobody succeeds without preparation as the saying goes, "those who fail to prepare, prepares to fail."

So no matter how late you slept last night or how bad you feel, always get up exactly at the same time. This mini habit will give you incredible results in the future.

4. Go on a holiday

Everybody needs a break, to take a pause from all the noise of countless demands of the outer world. As the noise increases, stress also rises therefore, our health is automatically in danger.

It is inevitable to face challenges in life, however we must be vigilant. After all, our health is our truest wealth for without it, we don't have anything. Sad to say, we too then become a liability to everybody and people will start to hate us. We even start to hate ourselves. It's truly dangerous.

Yet, as we continually expand our understanding and take care of our goals, we begin to refrain from the continuous work without taking the time to rest. Making sure we have enough energy left for ourselves, enough time to pause, live a wonderful life, and refresh our thinking so we can start on a project or continue our progress in a renewed and relaxed mind. This way, we will be more productive as well as happy individuals.

5. Lit up hope

As long as you are alive, there is also hope. No matter how hard the circumstances are or how bad situations maybe, we can always rely on the fact that whatever we are facing, we have the ability to overcome them.

Holding on to the fact that we are still here, granted with a life to alter situations and correct our errors in the past, will make us stronger, if not the strongest person we know. We can always make a better outcome by working on ourselves and creating better decisions.

I know it is easier said than done but, it is truly worth our while. And if someone has done, it's possible we can do it too. If anything goes wrong, we don't have to go with them. All we need to do is lit up the faith inside us so it will lead us to doing the important tasks and reminds us of the reasons why we need to do this.

6. Practice independence

Self reliance is the most powerful skill you can develop, it is also the most difficult. It is easier to depend rather than being depended on, however we must remember that doing easy things we stagnate ourselves in our comfort zones. Therefore, hindering our chances for growth and future success. Isn't that horrifying?

Let's us avoid the horror of dependence and remember that the primary role of our partners, family, relatives & peers are to provide support & back you up especially in our most troubled times. Their presence must become an inspiration in our daily living so we can gain personal power from all adversities.

If we train ourselves to become responsible, we feed our growth. By doing so, all of our relationships will follow in progression.

7. Pray with your heart

The trouble with most of us is we only run to God if we are in deep problems, forgetting to be consistent with our relationship with him.

If we dedicate even an hour daily to have a conversation with an open heart, imagine how we could grow and expand our belief system. It's unbelievable.

So we must learn to dedicate sincere prayers for everyone we love including ourselves on a regular basis. Let's be honest with God, and be bold with all of our intentions. Through this, our hearts will be free from distractions.

8. Slow down

Life is not a tracking field nor a competition, we must remember to slow our pace if we need to. Let our body relax from the exhaustion of the daily tasks and other demands from every aspect of our lives. Otherwise, we will faint due to overwhelming stress, dehydrate from the constant pressure, worst off develop major illnesses.

We don't want to become a disability, right? So it's our primary role to take care or ourselves in order to love our love ones properly and genuinely. If we know how to love ourselves, we sure know how to love them. It's a simple task, but it's a mystery why people still miss hitting the target. How wonderful life is.

The next time we are almost out of breath, we must slow down and evaluate our reactions to create better decisions. Thus, leading an amazing productive life.

9. Take care of yourself

Everything starts with us. Practicing pampering ourselves as well as nurturing ourselves with genuine love we are all capable of, we will be unstoppable. We will be the happiness we all desire to be.

We must understand that anything worth having, is also worth sacrificing for. There must be an exchange effort on any demand we seek for it is one of the laws of the universe.

By understanding this great law, we will never fail to perform in our best. Our attitude will be molded in the right way therefore conducting ourselves in the highest possible manner. Remember, taking care of ourselves will create a better world for ourselves as well as others.

10. Watch the rising or the setting of the sun

Another day, another sunshine. Oversleeping may seem inviting, however only the morning sun could give us the best vitamin to smile for.

The sun symbolizes hope as well as opportunity for us to start creating innovation, spreading optimism, cutting laziness, advocating wellness, & prevailing self-discipline. The key to happiness is watching the sun very closely.

If we notice, it gives strength in the morning as it arises as well as calmness when it sets down in the evening. People love the sun regardless, how wonderful. We must all remember this, that everything we need is already here. If we are to seek happiness, we need not look away but within.

In nature, we will find our refuge and in ourselves, we find nature.
