I needed to do some urgent soul searching after a few days of utter frustration at work. This whole process made me think in depth about everything  I've achieved in my life so far.  I've realized once again what is important to me, and although I would not change my past experiences or regret anything I did in the past, I do need to change a few things around to make myself "happier".  

I've thought long and hard and came to the conclusion that I need to make a few positive changes in my life.

Here are a few things to think about... 

If you are unhappy in your job then it is time to rethink your position. It is very important for a quality life to be happy in your job.  You spend the majority of your time at work, so make it a happy place.  Sure, we all have our ups and downs at work, but if there are major issues, then get out of there!!!!

Money can't buy happiness.  Although we need money to survive,  we don't need "stuff" to make us happy.  All these worldly possessions might make our lives easier and more comfortable, but when we die, we can't take any of these things with us.  So enjoy your life and spend your money. If it means going out to dinner with your family more, then so be it.  We hoard and cling to "stuff" and tomorrow we die. Use those cups from your grandmother hidden away in the cupboard!

Love is the most important thing of all!

                                                                   

Our whole lives revolve around love.  We should love ourselves, our children and everyone around us.  The whole meaning of life is LOVE.  Life is not possible without love. Love is eternal and without love we are nothing. 

Mistakes and failures are good for you!

If you fail at something in life,  then don't give up!  Try until you succeed.  Never let failure get to your heart, but more importantly DO NOT LET SUCCESS GET TO YOUR HEAD!

Live out your passion!

Follow your passion!  Find something that you are passionate about, and spend as much time possible following your dream.  Chase your dreams!  You will feel much better about yourself if you do something that floats your boat!

Get a hobby

Life is hard.  Life is difficult.  Life is unfair.  For those desperate and horrible times, you need to keep yourself busy.  Sometimes life is just plain boring, so instead of wasting your precious time and think about nonsense that might complicate your life, get a hobby!

Don't get stuck

Don't get stuck.  When life happens, we tend to go into a routine.  We forget about our hopes and dreams and focus only on the NOW.  We forget to live.  Make sure to change your perspective.  Don't let go of what was important to you once upon a time.  Start to focus again, because you matter.  If you are unhappy everyone around you will also be unhappy.  You have the right to happiness and to feel free.

Nice advices by the way!

Yip it's a new year so full "steem" ahead"!

Great advice!
I sometimes feel I can't always have all of the above, for example great job/ money. It's always one or the other.

Oh but you can and you should have it all!

Well, I'll see from tomorrow at my new job.
