1) HAVE THE COURAGE TO CHANGE WHAT YOU CAN, SERENITY TO ACCEPT WHAT YOU CANNOT CHANGE AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE. COMMON SENSE IN AN UNCOMMON DEGREE IS WISDOM.
2) MAKE THE EFFORT TO BEGIN TO ACCEPT OTHER PEOPLE FULLY AS THEY ARE. THE TRAGEDY IS THAT OUR OWN MIND IS NOT IN OUR CONTROL. AND WHAT IS THE COMEDY? OUR OWN MIND WHICH IS NOT IN OUR CONTROL, WITH THAT UNCONTROLLED MIND WE WANT TO CONTROL OTHER PEOPLE'S MIND WHICH IS NOT EVEN IN THEIR CONTROL—AN IMPOSSIBLE TASK!!! THIS THE COMEDY!
3) ACCEPT YOURSELF. IT IS OUR INABILITY TO ACCEPT OURSELVES FULLY, WITH ALL OUR WEAKNESSES AND SHORTCOMINGS THAT CAUSES SO MUCH ANGUISH IN OUR LIVES. LAUGH AT YOURSELF, AT YOUR BEHAVIOUR AND AT YOUR ANTICS. DON'T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY. NO ONE ELSE DOES!
4) DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH ANYONE. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THEIR JOURNEY IS ALL ABOUT. DON'T IMITATE OTHERS. INSTEAD OF BEING A POOR IMITATION, BE 100% ORIGINAL.
5) DO NOT BLAME OTHERS FOR YOUR SORROWS AND PROBLEMS.
6) TRY TO PUT YOURSELF IN OTHER PEOPLE'S SHOES.
7) TRY TO BE MORE OPEN WITH PEOPLE.
8) DO NOT WORRY ABOUT WHAT OTHERS WILL THINK. THE SO CALLED 'OTHERS' ARE EQUALLY WORRIED ABOUT WHAT 'OTHERS' WILL THINK!! WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF US IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS.
9) WATCH YOUR HABITUAL REACTIONS TO THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU AND TO YOUR ENVIRONMENT. TRY TO REDUCE BEING DEPENDENT ON ANY PARTICULAR PLACE, TIME, OBJECT, PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENT, CONDITION, SITUATION AND CIRCUMSTANCE FOR HAPPINESS. ANY KIND OF DEPENDENCY IS A CAUSE FOR BONDAGE AND ANY KIND OF BONDAGE IS A CAUSE FOR MISERY. NO ONE IS IN CHARGE OF YOUR HAPPINESS EXCEPT YOU. NOBODY REALLY CARES IF YOU ARE MISERABLE. SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE HAPPY.
10) WHAT IS GIVEN TO YOU WILL BE TAKEN AWAY. IT INCLUDES THE INSTRUMENTS CALLED THE BODY, MIND AND INTELLECT THROUGH WHICH YOU FUNCTION IN THIS WORLD. SO DO NOT HOLD ON TO THINGS THAT DO NOT BELONG TO YOU.
11) INTROSPECT REGULARLY. ANALYSE YOUR NEEDS, ATTACHMENTS, DESIRES, HABITS, HANG-UPS, WEAKNESSES AND SHORTCOMINGS. IT HELPS IN OVERCOMING THESE. VIEW THE WHOLE WORLD AND EVERY THING AND BEING IN IT AS YOUR TEACHER.
12) REMEMBER THAT EVERYONE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ATTAIN HIGHER LEVELS OF AWARENESS. TRY TO SEE THIS POTENTIAL IN ALL THE PEOPLE, NO MATTER HOW DIFFICULT IT MAY BE.
13) HAVE NO HATRED FOR ANY THING OR BEING, EVEN FOR A FRACTION OF A MOMENT—EVEN IN A DREAM. FORGIVE EVERYONE FOR EVERYTHING.
14) DON'T AVOID DIFFICULT SITUATIONS. VERY FEW OF US ARE REALLY AWARE OF PROGRAMMING AND CONDITIONING OF THINGS AND BEINGS. WHEN WE RECOGNIZE IT THEN WE START TO DEAL WITH IT. HOWEVER GOOD OR BAD A SITUATION IS IT WILL CHANGE. FRAME EVERY SO CALLED DISASTER WITH THESE WORDS "IN 5 YEARS WILL THIS MATTER?" TIME HEALS EVERYTHING. GIVE TIME TIME.
15) DON'T ALWAYS IDENTIFY YOURSELF COMPLETELY WITH YOUR MIND, BODY AND ACTIONS. EVENTS HAPPEN, DEEDS ARE DONE, BUT THERE IS NO INDIVIDUAL DOER THEREOF.
16) INSTEAD OF DOING WHAT YOU LIKE START LIKING WHAT YOU DO.
17) YOU SIMPLY CANNOT BE UNHAPPY UNLESS YOU HAVE DECIDED TO BE UNHAPPY.
18) LIVE IN THE NOW AND ENJOY THE PRESENT MOMENT. MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR PAST SO THAT IT DOESN'T MESS-UP THE PRESENT. LIVING IN THE PRESENT MEANS CONSCIOUS ACTION NOT MECHANICAL MOVEMENT.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED.
LIVE, LOVE AND LAUGH A LOT.
LIFE IS A GIFT, UNWRAP IT.
