Happy new year beautiful one😊
2016 came as a bang and now it's over.
Welcome to 2017!
I don't know about you but my 2017 is going to be mind-blowing and totally phenomenal. I have so much good vibes already about the year ahead.
I know the usual tradition is to make new year resolutions(new year, new me.
..). Not bad, but then resolutions are made to be broken.
Making or not making new year resolutions does not guarantee you a fabulous year.
What can actually help you have a better year than the previous one is to be guided by a set of flexible but effective basic life principles. These principles are not rules that should be strictly adhered to. In fact, there are no penalties attached. But applying these principles to your life this year would help you to a good extent.
Here are 17 basic principles I have been able to gather, some from prolonged usage and acceptance while some are from my personal experience.
1. Genuine happiness comes from the little insignificant things of life. A smile here, a hug there, a little help, a little push. To be happy, smile often. Make your smile wider and give bigger hugs this year. Laugh as much as you can.
2. For peace of mind, be yourself and love you for who you are. Do not beg anyone to accept you because whatever requires begging to get will also require begging to maintain.
3. Be humble but selective. Being selective does not mean you are proud or arrogant. It simply means you know your worth. If you are conscious of your personality, you will avoid too much familiarity.
4. For spiritual growth, seek God 's face and not His hands. God is not just one giant Santa Claus sitting up there, he is also a loving father who genuinely craves our attention. Develop an intimacy with God not just for what you will get but because you love HIM. He wants a relationship with you and not just a situationship
5. For good health, stay away from envy, strife, malice and hate. Remember, Health is wealth!
6. For a glowing skin and healthy body, eat more fruits and vegetables (your proteins are also important). Drink a lot of water
7. Give out too many compliments till it becomes a habit.
8. Self -confidence is the best outfit you can ever own. Own it and rock it well.
9. Be slow to speak, slow to anger and swift to listen. You learn more while listening not while talking. Speech is silvery but silver is gold.
10. Spend quality time with family and friends.
11. Set realistic goals, stay quiet about them and then smash them. Think BIG!
12. Pray a lot. Before you worry, before you panic, pray first.
13. Give more than you receive. Not just money or material things but also your time, attention, ideas and service.
14. Easy does it. Most times, we take life so seriously and things get unecessarily complicated then we become unhappy. Go easy on life this year. Take it one day at a time!
15. Embrace simplicity.
16. Expect less from people and lean totally on God.
17. Be happy. Make up your mind to be genuinely, sincerely, constantly and helplessly happy.
I hope this helps. Have a fabulous 2017! Remember to share and leave your comments 😘😘
