In order to live your life to the fullest, we should follow our own personal rules that we live by. In our life we are the leading actors and primary decision-makers so it is up to us to decide how our life will look like.
However, this does not have to be specially difficult to live by. The rules differ each day, but we should keep in my these facts:
1) It is important not to take life too seriously. Elbert Hubbard wrote: Don't take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive." It is really true. Spice your life with a little bit of light substance, and everything will be a little bit easier to do.
2) Be optimistic and positive. Even when you are passing through some hard times in your life, keep in mind that it will not last forever.
3) Be thankful and grateful for all the things you have so far achieved. It really helps to know what your position is right now in your life. Whatever it is, you will certainly find something positive and good in your life.
4) Set yourself a goal a day. It means that life consists of many brushes of paint in order to make your life canvass look as good as it gets. Don't be impatient and hasty. Patience really pays well in life.
5) Don't compare yourself to others. It is especially important not to do it if you live with wealthy neighbors. You never know what goes on behind the closed doors.
6) Don't blame others or your life for your failures. You are the master of your own destiny. We all make mistakes, and it is really grand to turn them into your assets. After all, that is what experience is made of.
7) Find your own inner peace and happiness. It will certainly give you a look of composure and serenity that others will perceive. If you send out good vibrations, this will draw people to you. It is your own psychological appeal that contributes to your well-being.
8) Be open to new things and educate yourself. It is important to improve every day as much as you can. Read, watch and write down in your own personal journal of knowledge everything you find valuable and worth keeping in mind.
9) Look after yourself and your partner, friends, relatives. Let them know that you are there for them.
10) Never give up doing things if you failed the first time. You know the saying that "repetition is the mother of invention". Never give up if you want to succeed.
