The Top 10 Ways to Succeed Peacefully and Happily in Love, Work and Play

Have you ever had that day at work or in any part of your life when somebody takes a cheap shot at you in e-mail or to your face?
How you decide to process this and how you respond makes all the difference in the world. Keep your positive attitude and keep creating, progressing and sharing your smile.
Here are the Top 10 Ways to stay at your best, give your best and not let others’ moments of ugliness affect you. ​

​

1. In your deepest despair or frustration … Ask yourself what is in your control right now to change your feelings to hope. 
2. Your thoughts ... Allow only those thoughts to process that propel you into positive action. You can control only what is controllable. It starts with your thoughts. 
3. What is controllable? … Your thoughts, actions and reactions. 
4. When you are disappointed by people … Decide to believe they did exactly what they know how to do in this very moment of their life. Your choice is how you respond or not, and how long you dwell on those perceived or real misbehaviors.
5. When people don’t respond to your e-mails or calls or they respond in a way that isn't aligned with your expectation … You cannot control other people’s action. Stop and take a deep breath. You do not have to react to their actions. If it is something that is more important to you than it is to them, the it is up to you to be resourceful. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. 
6. Don’t blame others … Sometimes things don’t work out the way you wanted them to. However, there is always something YOU can do to make YOU better, to take the next step, to make it happen for YOU.
7. Love and kindness and speak your truth in love and kindness … Nothing but this, every minute, every day and all of the time. The Golden Rule is the Golden Rule for a reason. Treat others as you would like to be treated. 
8. When you want something bad enough … Be resourceful and look at what YOU can do to propel YOU into action. 
9. When you need to blow off steam … Say nothing until you are calm. Go for a walk and take some deep breaths and allow only the right thoughts to process. Magic.
10. The right thing to do is ALWAYS the right thing to do … Put ego-centric thinking aside and then ask the question at hand. The tricky part here is recognizing when you are thinking fro your ego. Being in your own head too long can make you believe anything!
