THE 7 KEYS TO A REAL GOOD LIFE
Friday, July 15, 2011 7:33:25 AM
People often define a
“good life” as “looking
good”, “feeling good” and
“having the goods”. But it
goes much deeper than
this.
Life is really good:
• When it is filled with
happiness, discovery and
love
•When you wake up and
go to bed with a smile on
your face, giving thanks
for another great day
•When you are
passionate about your
work
•When you are
surrounded by people you
love, respect, admire and
learn from
•When you have no
regrets about your past
and no doubts about your
future
There are no secrets to
living a good life, but
there are a few keys that
we sometimes overlook.
Here are 7 of them that
came to mind:
1. Find your direction in
life.
For a long time I had been
frantically looking for my
one and only life purpose.
I was afraid that I would
not be able to figure it
out before I died and my
life would be meaningless
and wasted.
Slowly it has dawned on
me, that I do not have to
look for THE life purpose
and see it as a goal that I
must accomplish. All I
have to do is to choose
the direction that I would
like to follow and take the
first step.
A well-lived life does not
sum up to some objective
result. It is a continuous
journey, a process of self-
discovery, self-
improvement and self-
realization. Your life
purpose might be hidden
from you at the moment,
but it does not mean that
you should be standing
still. Find the path that is
aligned with your inner
values, life goals and
heart-felt desires and
everything else will fall
into place.
2. Take care of yourself.
I believe it was Deepak
Chopra who said,“The
way you think, the way
you behave, the way you
eat, can influence your life
by 30 to 50 years.” There
is no doubt that you can
live a good life without
paying attention to your
diet, your lifestyle or your
physical and emotional
health. But if you want to
live a good and a long life
you have to become more
conscious about how to
treat your body and start
taking good care of
yourself.
3. Take care of others.
Buying a new car or going
on a tropical vacation will
not leave a noticeable
mark on your life. But
your actions of kindness,
compassion, generosity
and gratitude will never
be wasted. If you want
your life to be meaningful,
direct a part your
resources and efforts
towards helping others.
When your actions are not
driven by selfishness and
self-satisfaction, your
happiness expands and
you find strength and
energy that you never
thought you had. 4. Fulfill your
obligations.
A ‘good life’ does not
always equate to doing
what you like. A big part
of it is duties and
obligations that we have
towards our parents,
spouse, children,
colleagues, customers and
even strangers. At times it
may be difficult to fulfill
these obligations, but
there is tremendous
pleasure in living
according to your
conscious and doing what
is right, even if it seems
inconvenient and onerous.
5. Cultivate friendship.
What is life if there is no
room in it for love and
friendship? What is the
point of working hard if
you have no one to share
it with? What is the point
of living in a mansion if
there is no laughter to fill
it? The best moments of
our life become brighter
and happier only if shared
with others. And who
better to share your joys
and sorrows with than
true friends?
6. Set a good example.
Your actions, words and
even your energy
influence the world about
you. Even when you are
not aware of it, you set an
example for those around
you. Make sure that you
encourage rather than
demotivate, look for
solutions rather than
complain, listen rather
than argue and offer help
rather than give out
suggestions. Become an
inspiration to others and
your life will never be
wasted.
7. Believe in something
greater than you.
There is nothing more
limiting, empty and
disheartening than a self-
centered life of a human
being who believes in
nothing greater than them
self. I think deep down we
all feel that there is
something bigger and
more powerful than our
mind will ever be able to
comprehend. Some
people call it Universe,
some God, some Absolute
love. As long as Who you
believe in goes beyond
financial achievements
and materialistic success,
and urges you to strive for
spiritual growth, kindness
and self-actualization, you
are on the right track.
And your life will only get
better!

A wonderful gift from God. Treasure it well ( friendship)
Thursday, July 14, 2011 9:24:26 PM
A friendship is but a flower Growing out in Gods garden Helping out the fellow man Not knowing should they get a pardon A. friendship is but a flower Waiting to bloom in the spring Waiting with a helping hand or an ear To help or listen to most any of thing. A friendship is but a flower That God lends to us for a while To help us along our way And give us a reason for a smile. A friendship is but a flower Leaving impressions on our hearts Never knowing when it might end But, always happy to see it start. A friendship is but a flower Sent with guidance from above The friendship must be based on trust But, like the flower, it's started with Gods love Friendship is but a flower Sent down for all of us to share So pass on your bit of friendship Show someone just how much you care. A friendship is but a flower And this friendship I pass on to you all. Please take my flower and friendship So you can pass it on to others too. Please treasure friendship. Its a gift from God by Ddove

Speak up. share your thoughts, Become an expert. Surround yourself with positive friends, who will help build you up and will encourage you to achieve your highest potential. Depersonalize failure. Look upon failure as one step toward growth.
Face challenge with an open mine. Recognize that challenges and difficult experiences are a regular part of your daily life.
Maintain your perspective. Tine and distance can transform your beliefs about reality. Do not what happened yesterday affect what will happen tomorrow. Celebrate success
Measure yourself by what you have done, what you are doing, and what you can do. keep a daily, weekly, or monthly record of your accomplishment and build on these.
Each day do something a little better than yesterday. The excitement of achievement will make you feel good.

Every time you pull throui a difficult or negative experience, give yourself a treat
Good leaders of tomorrow
Saturday, August 7, 2010 6:07:07 AM
A leader is one who sees more than others sees, who see farther than othes, and who sees before others do.;
The world needs more men who do not have a price at which they can be boughu; who do not borrow from integrity to pay for comvenience; whose handshake is an ironclad contract; who are not afraid of taking risks to advance what is right; and who are honest in small matter as they are in large ones.
*@
The world needs more men whose ambitions are big enough to include others; who know how to win with grace and lose with dignity; who do not believe that shrewdness and craftiness and brutality are the three keys to success; who still have friends they made twenty years ago; who put put principle and consistency above politics or personal advancement.
*@
The world needs more men who do not forsake what is right just to get harmony because it makes them look good; who know how important it is to lead by example, not by barking orders; who would not have you do something they would not do themselves; who work to tune even the 6st adverse circumstances into opportunities to learn and improve; and who love even those who have done some injustice or unfairness to them.
*@
Effective leaders take an active role in shaping their destinies. They do not sit arouund and wait for things to change. Instead, they take matters into their hands and work to bring about the change they want. They define their goals clearly and take the necessary steps important to them and a mission statement.
*@
How far will u go if u become a leader tomorrow?
LIVE A LIFE THAT MATTERS
Sunday, April 25, 2010 8:04:11 AM
Ready or not, one day it will all come to an end. There will be no more sunrises, no minutes, hours or days. All the things you collected, whether treasured or forgotten, will pass to someone else. You wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance. Your grudges, resentment, frustrations, and jealousies will finally disappear. So, too, your hopes, ambitions, plans, and to do lists will expire. The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away. At the end, it won't matter where you came from, or no what side of the tracks you lived. It won't matter whether you were beautiful or brilliant. Even your gender and skin colour will be irrelevant. SO WHAT WILL MATTER? How will the value of your days be measured? What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built; not what you got, but what you gave. What will matter is not your success, but your significance. Not what you learned, but what you taught. What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion, courage or sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others to emulate your example. Not how many people you knew, but how many will feel a lasting loss when you're gone. Not your memories, but the memories that live in those who loved you. What will matter is how long you will be remembered, by whom and for what. Living a life that matters doesn't happen by accident. It's not a matter of circumstance but of choice. Choose to live a life that matter$
