Love 10 Ways To Write A Life Story Worth Living
WHEN WRITING THE story of your life, don't let someone else hold the pen. Make conscious choices every day that align your actions with your values and dreams; the way you live each day is a sentence in the story of your life. Each day, you choose whether the sentence ends with a period, a question mark, or an exclamation point. Here are ten ideas for writing a life story worth living:
1. Find a passion that makes you come alive.
Don‟t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs, and what every great story has, are characters who have come alive in the pursuit of something that inspires them.
2. Work hard on that passion.
A dream is your creative vision for your life in the future. You must break out of your current comfort zone and become comfortable with the new and unfamiliar. So dream big, pursue your passion, and give yourself permission to work toward a future you know you are capable of creating.
3. Live happily in your own way.
You are not in this world to live up to the expectations of others, nor should you feel that others are here to live up to yours. Pave your own unique path. What success means to each of us is totally different. Ultimately, success is about spending your life happily in your own way.
4. Change your path when you must, but keep moving forward.
There are millions of possible paths one could take up the mountain of life. You get to choose which one you take, and you can jump from one path to another if you run into a roadblock. The only mistake you can make is standing still.
5. When the going gets tough, keep fighting.
The wisest, most loving, most well-rounded people you have met are likely those who have known failure, defeat, and suffering, and have found their way out of the depths of their own despair. These people have gained compassion, understanding, and a deep sense of gratitude. People like this aren‟t born; they develop slowly over the course of a lifetime.
6. Let go of the past and live consciously in the present.
Life can only be understood backward, but it must be lived forward. The past is a good place to visit on occasion, but not a great place to stay. Don‟t waste time trying to relive or change your past when you have priceless moments unfolding in front of you right now.
7. Embrace new ideas, lessons, and challenges.
There is nothing more wonderful than seeing life as an adventure. Try things that you‟re afraid of. Look deeply into the unknown and enjoy it. Because when you face new challenges, you're learning, growing, and truly living.
8. Appreciate the little things in life that mean a lot.
Think of all the beauty around you, and be happy. Be thankful for all the small things in your life, because when you put them all together you will see just how significant they are. Remember, it's not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy.
9. Live honourably through kindness.
If you live honourably, no matter how old you get, life will always remain beautiful—and so will you. And remember, there is no better exercise for the heart than reaching out and holding the hand of someone in need.
10. Spend quality time with people you love.
Appreciate the people who love and care for you most. Spend time with them. Someday you will either regret not doing so, or you will say, “I'm glad I did.”
