Life would do one of two things to you; it would either shape you or break you.
There are certain principles of life you must follow; if you follow the right principles, you would get better, and if you adhere to the wrong principles, you might get caught up in life.
These are eight cardinal rules of life you must never forget:
1. NEVER LIVE IN FEAR
Fear is just as bad as failure; fear would make you procrastinate, fear would make you reluctant to take action, fear would kill your goals and make your dreams look impossible; fear would make you a failure. So, never be afraid of trying and even if you fail, never stop trying.
2. ALWAYS BELIEVE AND STAY POSITIVE
The mind is a useful tool and has huge power; it can make or mar you, depending on how you use it. Whatever you believe, you can achieve; set your mind to positive thoughts and never give negative thoughts the chance to settle in your hearts.
3. FAILURE IS ONLY AN EXPERIENCE
Failure should never weigh you down in life; failure is only an opportunity to learn. It only means you should try again.
It’s not how many times you fail but how many times you stand up.
4. MOVE ON FROM YOUR PAST
Stop living in the past could be a hindrance to your success; move on, or else you might remain stuck in life.
5. DON’T COMPARE YOUR LIFE TO OTHERS
You waste your life when you compare it to that of another person. You are the best version of yourself, and you have no idea what that person is going through, have gone through or would go through.
Never let greed in your heart and never be envious of others; these are negative energy that wouldn’t help you in life.
6. DON’T LET ANOTHER PERSON DETERMINE YOUR HAPPINESS
You are the true source of your happiness; never let another person determine your happiness.
Find contentment in whatever situation you find yourself, and be happy no matter what. Life is too short to be unhappy.
7. WORK HARD
Don’t give room for laziness; work hard for whatever you want in life. Stop wishing life would be easier because it wouldn’t; start working.
8. DON’T WORRY ABOUT THINGS YOU CANNOT CONTROL
Stop worrying about things that you cannot control; you would only become unhappy. Worrying never solves a thing.
Live with these eight cardinal rules of life, and you would never regret them.
