Written by Nicky<\/a><\/p>\n

I recently set my hands on a copy of Zig Ziglar\u2019s (amazing) book \u201cBetter than good<\/a>\u201d, and I must say that it inspired me right from page one. Zig Ziglar says, \u201cThere are three pillars to a \u2018better than good\u2019 life: passion, peak performance and purpose\u201d.<\/p>\n

So true.Then a few questions popped into my mind \u2013 How do we make our life everything we wished for? How do we make the best of it? I believe, the purpose of life is to be happy \u2013 and make others happy. From what I\u2019ve read and learned, these are some of the ways how we can make our lives truly happy.<\/p>\n

\""Celebrate<\/p>\n

1).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Follow your passion :<\/h4>\n

Do what you love. Don\u2019t go where money is, go where your heart is. There will be many occasions in life where you\u2019ll need to decide what you truly want to do. Follow that gut feeling, it\u2019ll never disappoint you. If you want to do really well in something, passion is very, very important.<\/p>\n

2).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Spread smiles everyday :<\/h4>\n

If someone you know is going through a bad patch, try your best to make them smile. Smiling makes things easier and lightens your spirit. After all, a day without a smile is a day wasted, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

3).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Positive attitude :<\/h4>\n

Positivity goes a long way in life. Why waste precious seconds of your life worrying too much? Remove all those negative thoughts from your mind. Don\u2019t think that you\u2019re any less than the others. Keep your chin up, fight the bad feelings, stay strong and be positive!<\/p>\n

4).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Good deeds :<\/h4>\n

In today\u2019s world, we give a lot of importance to material things. We buy expensive gadgets, luxurious items etc. We shouldn\u2019t forget about the less fortunate. Remember, charity begins at home, but it shouldn\u2019t end there. Do your part, make a change. Every little bit makes a difference. Give!<\/p>\n

5).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cherish relationships :<\/h4>\n

Life is short. Spend a lot of time with your loved ones. Don\u2019t get too involved in work, that you start giving less time to your family. Family comes first. Cherish every moment with your loved ones.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

6).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stay healthy :<\/h4>\n

Meditate. Eat good food. A healthy body equals a healthy soul and healthy thoughts. A calm body, mind and soul can help you lead a happy life.<\/p>\n

7).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stay in contact with people who lift you higher :<\/h4>\n

Don\u2019t constantly be around people who only talk negativity. They will only bring you down. Try to stay around positive people who exude good thoughts. Being around positive people will bring a vibrancy in your life!<\/p>\n

8).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Express :<\/h4>\n

Humans have this intense desire to love and feel loved. Express all your feelings. Don\u2019t keep it inside you for too long. Be who you are. Live out loud!<\/p>\n

9).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t compare :<\/h4>\n

Comparing only brings sadness. \u201cWhy don\u2019t I look like her?\u201d \u201cWhy am I not rich like him?\u201d etc does absolutely nothing good to us. Learn to accept yourself as you are. Work hard to be what you want to be. Be happy in your own skin. Know that God has made you the way you are for a reason, and there are people who find you extremely special.
