7 things you should follow in order to lead a happy life

Life is short. Live it simple.

As we deal with numerous stresses in our lives starting from the simple to the complex ones, dont we often forget to listen to ourselves? What we want? How we want to live?  Its true life will never be like the way we ling for. But its worth living. In order to be happy we have to listen to ourselves not others.

Happiness comes from within. I have listed few of my personal observations from a lil of my experienced life.

Please feel free to comment your views.

1. Let go the friendship you struggled to keep

There are few people in our lives whom we consider to be a true friend and too precious to lose. However the sad part is many a times they do not reciprocate the same, which leaves us hurt, sulky. No matter how much we forgive their faults and irrational behaviour, they do not think twice if we do the same as them.

Let go those friends. Remember your friendship is too precious for people who dont love you back. Let them be happy in their own life and you move forward with new set of friends. No relationship is worth if it takes only you to do all the struggles.

2. Be self confident

This is the most important thing in your life. People envy those who are self confident. No matter whether you are fat, slim, beautiful,ugly dont give a damm. Nobody can play your role as you can. So stop bothering about anything. Hold your head high and say " Hum kisise kam nehi."

3. Dont let others to affect your mood

This is perhaps the most common thing which we experience day to day. If somebody says something rude to us we get upset. Anything negative by any people around us be it friends, family, colleagues, we end up feeling gloomy,hurt, disappointed,tensed, anxious---the list is never ending. 

You decide how you should behave. Dont let them spoil your mood. You are your best judge. Have faith on yourself.

4. Always keep a filter in your ears

You will always find numerous people always bitching against others. There will be people as well giving you lost of gyans as to how you should behave. Remember to listen to them but filter the words that you want to hear. Do not believe everything you hear, do not follow everything either.

5. Learn to be firm 

To be happy you do sometimes have to be firm and stick to your decision. People abide by them who are more logical and firm rather than those who cant say "no" to the others. Yes, you may not be liked by all but thats definitely not possible . 

6. Expect  less, depend less

I always remembered a friend of mine saying "kabhi kisise kuch expect mat karna" . I believe it till date. I used to depend only on  myself when I needed to go out of my college hostel to buy few things, I depend on myself if I have to eat alone in the cafeteria at the lunch break in office. I have seen people who are extremely dependant on the others and as a result most of the time their work doesnt happen. They wished to be like me, but never had the courage to be so.

7. Do what your heart wishes

Perhaps another most significant thing. Want to buy a nice dress or an expensive watch? Want to eat out ? Want to go holidaying with friends and family? Want to be left alone? Want to write your heart out? Want to shut up those people who irritates you? Want to sing,dance and be crazy? Go ahead, there is nothing stopping you. Dont hold regrets. Thats bad.
