I turned 47 today. This is a picture clicked today. I received a lot of flowers today.
The older I get, the more grateful I am for everything that I have in my life. Today, I am living my dream. There's nothing more I ask from life!
The path hasn't been easy at all. There have definitely been so many downs. When I look back, I think for every victory of mine, there has been a failure. But I have fought. I am a fighter. I never give up.
Persistence pays.
Age has made me wiser, calmer and very very sure of many things.
Here are 47 things I have learnt along my path. These are things I practise.
1. Say NO to negativity of any kind.
2. People will treat you the way you allow them to.
3. If people really care for you, they will make time; Otherwise they will make excuses.
4. Be grateful for every one who is kind to you.
5. Better to have TWO genuine friends who truly care for you than a HUNDRED friends who aren't so genuine.
6. Fitness is everything.
7.Always have a 'nest egg' set aside just for yourself, which you can dip into.
8. Do one thing every day which grows your mind.
9.Think.
10. Meditation always helps. Even a ten minute calming one relaxes you.
11. Business is business. Don't every get emotional about it.
12. Be ethical but ruthless when it comes to business.
13. Your colleagues are NOT your friends.
14. Go where you are celebrated not tolerated.
15. If someone constantly puts you down, cut them out of your life.
16. Laugh a lot.
17. Wait. It is coming!
18. Believe in something bigger than you.
19.Write--it helps.
20. Think about why someone less privileged than you is unkind or rude.
21. Take time for yourself, and don't feel guilty about it.
22. Dress well.
23. Thank people who are nice to you.
24.Clear clutter from your home regularly.
25. Have a 'sacred space' in your home--just for yourself.
26. Stay hydrated.
27. You don't have to be like everyone else. You don't have to fit in.
28. Learn to cook.
29. It is okay to let go.
30. People change. We change.
31. If someone doesn't answer your call, never call them again!
32. Your heart will be broken.
33. You will heal.
34. You will do things you never thought you ever would.
35. When the time comes, you will have the strength.
36. You will lose a parent.
37. You will learn to go on, but every happy moment from now on will be tinged with sadness.
38. You never have control over anything, even when you think you do.
39. Signs from Universe are real!
40. Listen to your spirit.
41. Make time for doing that one thing you would do even if nobody paid you.
42. When you feel alone, you can always turn to a book.
43. It will end.
44. Something new will replace it.
45. Blaming yourself isn't productive
46. Every once in a while, the person who you depend on will disappoint you. It's okay!
47. Choose which battle to fight.
And finally (a bonus one) --We do not have control over what happens to us, but we always have control over what we choose to FOCUS on!
Thank you to all of you who wished me today.
Lots of love to you all.
