365 days ago, on this day - 31st of December 2018 - I wrote
“Your Roadmap to a better year 2019”! ; Today, as the countdown to 2020 begins,
I would like to share with you another roadmap to a happier year 2020.
Make sure to take a deep breath before we start;
Take a minute to :
1- Think
2- Evaluate
3- Learn
4- Repeat
- Think about what happened with you this year, remember one achievement
that makes you a prouder person. (Even something that no one knows about)
- Evaluate your relationship with people around you and how
it affected your life and how you affected them.
- Learn from your mistakes. Even if you think they were very
big ones and remember: The greatest teacher in life is failure…
- Repeat: if your strategy was successful, repeat it! I
remember once someone told me: “If it’s working: Do not touch it”. So it’s nice
to put plans and change but not all changes might lead to successful endings.
Always remember life is short! Stop wasting time on things
or people who make you less happy and less satisfied. Always seek joy and
happiness. Find happiness in the little details of life. It’s not always money
and fame and power that bring happiness. I have been with people who have
millions in their bank accounts but their hearts are empty. Fill your heart
with love and fill your pockets with the seeds of happiness and fill your brain
with knowledge and information and empty your stomach from unnecessary junk
food. Empty your heart from hatred. Empty the negativity from your spirit and
most of all keep an empty space in your brain for something new.
No matter how knowledgeable you will get, never say: I’m
done!
Keep your thirst for knowledge thriving for knowledge only
will bring you to peace with yourself and the ones surrounding you!?
Finally, if you are wondering what to do in 2020, here is a
list:
1. GIVE: Do things for others. Decide at least to do one
thing as an act of kindness.
2. Celebrate friendships: No one can enjoy life by sitting
in a closed room. Go out and reach to your friends and enjoy life with them.
3. Exercise: the more active you get, the happier your body
becomes and the more relaxed you can be. Always find time to exercise. Get no excuses.
4. Appreciate: always be appreciative to people around you.
Never take anyone or anything for granted. Always smile and thank people who
share life with you.
5. Keep Learning: never say never! The more you learn the
more you will discover how ignorant you were. The more you learn the more
modest you will become.
And remember Jesus Christ was modest too.
6. Be Tolerant: Accepting others as they are is a gift. If you
don’t have it, develop it. Remember that everyone is unique. Find something
positive in everyone you know and focus on it. Do not judge others so you won’t
be judged one day.
7. LOVE: finally, love and try to be loved.
Love will conquer all troubles in life. Start loving
yourself first before loving others. Because if you don’t love yourself you
will end up hating everybody.
