Reaching a goal that, you think, will give you happiness is not the ultimate goal. Keep on moving with happiness alive in your heart till you reach the goal that is destined for you.

2. It’s Action that Counts

You need to act to achieve what is there given for you. Uttering out the words will lead you to nowhere but frustration of mind. Hence, reserve your words for some good time. In order to obtain the defined target, all you have to do is “Act.

3. Don’t try to be Right. Rather Try to be Happy.

Listening is far better skill than talking and giving lectures. Try to understand the people around you. Try to get into the depth of the words the people are uttering. Instead of catching the words, catch the intention. This will lead you to a peaceful state of mind.

4. Mind is Everything

“What you think you become,” said Buddha. Hence, ‘Right’ words and affirmations are the key to success. Your action is defined by your thoughts and your result is determined by your actions. Right affirmations will always get you what you desire good in life where wrong affirmations will always bring you destructions and disruptions in life.

5. Just Forgive

When you release that burden of the imprisoned thought, you actually release your own self from a negative thought. Learn to forgive people before they come to you for forgiveness.

6. True Harmony is Inside You

Why people go out in search of happiness and pleasure while the true harmony lies within themselves. Outside pleasure is merely a distraction. What there is inside you is the real harmony. Enjoy it and live your life.

7. It’s Alright to Start Small to Achieve Big

Everything starts from small. With time and patience, things grow and become big. Same is the phenomena of life and work. It’s alright to start with a small thing in order to achieve something big in life.

8. “Thank You” is a Magical Word

In our everyday life, there are thousands of incidences that we take for granted. Recognise them and realised that each and everything happening around you has a purpose. Thank them and move ahead with honour of being grateful.

9. Win Yourself First

It’s easier to win a battle with others but to win one own self is to cut a piece of mountain. The one who wins himself is the strongest one on the earth.

10. Do What You Know

If you don’t know what to do, do what you know. Time is precious. Do not spend time on things that you find is difficult to do until you wish to prove your skill on that.
