20 Rules of living a happy and well-fulfilled life
Living the life that we all dream of, is not easy. The road to our dream life consists of many troubles, setbacks, and obstructions that often jostled us from our dreams and goals.
But having clarity of what kind of a life we want makes us clear and more determined towards achieving our fulfilled and dream life.
Here are the rules that I have found in my life that are necessary to live a happy and fulfilled life.
Make decisions from the place of abundance and not from the place of scarcity.
The basic life ideas and aspirations come from facing and going through tough choices and paths, not from places having fewer disturbances.
Avoid the quick and easy paths.
The easiest paths are not always the right ones.
Choose what you know is right and what is easy.
Don’t be fooled by your own achievements.
When you think that you have achieved everything, then only you’re fooled by the glitch that there are a lot of things yet to be discovered and achieved.
Don’t be fooled by that.
Focus on the process of learning, not the outcomes
Outcomes or money are only the end results of what you’re trying to achieve.
Focus on learning which will take you closer to your outcomes.
Learning builds better skill sets.
Better skill sets create better outcomes.
Honor the Relationships
Relationships are the building blocks of growth and help us move ahead in life.
Without communication, there is no relationship.
Without a relationship, there is no love.
Without any love, there is no reason to continue.
Start living the life you always wanted.
Don’t wait for any proper time.
Build and start living the life that you’ve always dreamt of.
Different people have different life purposes.
Build yours and start living.
Live within your financial means
Having financial Stability >>>> Becoming richer.
Don’t go on living the life that’s out of your budget.
Stay within your own financial limits and live life accordingly.
Try to build more by exploring more.
Build connections - socially as well as in real life.
The most important things in life are the connections you make with people.
Make real friends
Save vulnerable moments
Meet more people in your life.
These will make you wealthier.
Be harsh on yourself, selfless to others
Build your life ruthlessly and calmly.
Be hungry for knowing more, discovering more, and experimenting more.
But be gentle and selfless to others.
Provide values to others and help them grow as well.
This will 3x your growth.
What you say, how you say, and when you say matters more than anything in your life
Be ruthless and super-attentive in the way you speak, when you speak and how you speak.
It can build you a solid reputation, and at the same time, can spoil your reputation as well.
Don’t judge your success by a day or a week.
Be clear on 1 thing - Success takes time and effort.
It won’t happen overnight. It takes perseverance, grit, hard work, and patience.
Growth and success are like watching grass grow or watching paint dry.
Be impatient with actions, but patient with results.
Deprive yourself of what you desire, but focus on what you need.
Wealth is what you don’t see.
Wealth is the measure of time and money that you share.
Wealth is not having something more, but wanting in everything less and enough.
Build wealth by leveraging your skills and learning, exploring more on your domain.
Focus on only 5 things in your life
Give priority in this order
Your family
Work
Health
Wealth
Relationship
Everything else will follow.
Play long-term games
Long-term games have the largest outcomes.
Long-term progress >>>> Short-term progress.
Slow and steady progress is the most underrated hack in the world.
Learn to say “NO” (a lot)
Don’t always say yes to things that come in way of your life.
Saying “No” to what doesn’t matter to you is the most important growth hack.
Say YES to what matters and NO to things that don’t matter to you.
Read, read and read more.
Read more.
Every day in your life.
For some specific time.
It’ll take you among the top 1%. I promise.
The older you grow, take more time to enjoy life
Your Life is limited.
Enjoy life to the fullest.
If you’re doing something which interests you, then do it all the way.
Commit to doing till the completion of that task.
Go all in. Dig deeper and carry on to complete the task.
Be happy always.
Lastly, be happy always.
You have one life. Live it, play with it, and have fun.
Remember that happiness is the journey, not the destination.
