Everything Great and Grand.

9. Let things be less than perfect.

Smile every chance you get; not because life has been easy, perfect, or exactly as you had anticipated, but because you choose to be happy and grateful for all the good things you do have, and all the problems I know you don’t have. You must accept the fact that life is not perfect, that people are not perfect, and that you are not perfect. And that’s okay, because the real world doesn’t reward perfection. It rewards people who get GOOD things done. And the only way to get GOOD things done is to be imperfect 99% of the time.

I should remember this ALL the time. I want things to be perfect. I want everything and everyone to be perfect. I guess I was wrong, all along.

8. Be efficient.

top being inefficient simply because you’ve always done it that way. If you keep doing what you’re doing, you’ll keep getting what you’re getting. Many times we live with unplanned, complex systems in our lives simply because we haven’t given them much thought. Instead, streamline your life by finding better ways of handling common tasks. Focus on one system at a time (your cleaning system, your errands system, your paperwork system, your email system, etc.) and try to make it simplified, efficient, and logical. Then, once you have it perfected, stick to it.

Ooops, I’m so much guilty on this! I crave for routines and I go crazy if my routine is not followed. Maybe I should learn to accept changes. Because after all, change is the only constant thing in our lives.

7. Organize your space.

Start clearing clutter. Get rid of stuff you don’t use and then organize what’s left. Keeping both your living and working areas organized is crucial. If you have a cluttered space, it can be distracting and stressful. A clear space is like a blank canvas, available to be used to create something great.

I don’t know with you but I always love working on a clean space. No clutter thus no distractions. I believe that a clear space offers a clear mind. Let’s be organize!

6. Do what you know in your heart is right.

Stop doing immoral things simply because you can. Start being honest with yourself and everyone else. Don’t cheat. Be faithful. Be kind. Do the right thing! It is a less complicated way to live. Integrity is the essence of everything successful. When you break the rules of integrity you invite serious complications into your life. Keep life simple and enjoyable by doing what you know in your heart is right.

These days it’s hard to keep everything simple. So always go back to basics. Love what you do and do what is right. It will simply make your life wonderful!

5. Stop trying to be everything to everyone.

Don’t try to be friends with everyone. Cultivate closer relationships with fewer people. Start focusing on being everything to someone. Helping or pleasing everyone is impossible. But making one person smile can change the world. Maybe not the whole world, but their world. So narrow your focus and be yourself.

You cannot please everybody. That is something I remember when I read this item. I learned this the hard way though but I’m getting there! Pleasing everyone is a recipe for depression, I read somewhere and it has stuck to my mind ever since.

4. Give what you want to receive.

You get the best out of others, and every situation, when you give the best of yourself. Start practicing the golden rule. If you want love, give love. If you want friends, be friendly. If you want money, provide value. It works. It really is this simple.

As the golden rule say, “Do unto others what you want them to do unto you.” And I totally agree.
