In Case You Wish For An A Satisfying Life, Then Read These Ten Points

1. Every morning think of all the things that you have right now and be thankful for them. Do you have a roof over your head? Do you have enough food today for three meals? Do you have decent clothes? If yes, then you have all the material needs that almost a billion other people in this world don't have and are only dreaming about.


2. Choose your books, movies and music very carefully. Feed your soul with those things which give you noble and honorable thoughts, and encourage you to become a better person. Avoid media filled with negative thoughts like anger and depression.

3. Enjoy nature! When was the last time you went out for a nature trip? Go hiking on a mountain trail, or camping in a forest, or just lie down underneath the stars. Get away from the distractions of city living. See the magnificent beauty of the world.

4. Life is not all about work. Learn how to take breaks. A good rule is to always have a "sabbath" day of rest every week, where your goal is to just recharge your batteries and not do anything work related. However, the opposite is also true, if you have too much spare time, that can lead to overthinking and depression. Choose not to be idle and try to be a diligent worker. Find the balance between work and rest.

5. Relationships over money. Putting money first is going to put you in very big trouble. When people are in the last remaining days of their life, for example in their hospital bed, they don't ask how the stocks or the bank accounts are doing, they ask for their family members and relatives. They ask for love. Prepare for that day by investing in relationships rather than money for its own sake.

6. Good food has always served to enhance relationships and friendships. Why not treat your friends out to a restaurant for no reason at all except to share good laughs? Try something you haven't tasted before, like Indian or Nepali food. Spicy!

7. Don't neglect to spend time with your friends, and show your appreciation to them. Try to build long and substantial friendships, rather than lots of shallow relationships. It's better to have a few good people who will stick with you in thick and thin than be popular.

8. Make your family a priority. They're the only family you've got. They're not perfect of course, and you know almost all their flaws and faults, but its amazing what a little love and forgiveness can do to make things right.

9. If you're married then be as faithful as you can possibly be. Resist the temptations to look for someone else. Remember your marriage vows. No epic journey was never without its rough times and near-breaking points. But those who work hard have the widest smiles in their late wedding anniversaries. If you're not yet married to your girlfriend or boyfriend, ask yourself why not? Isn't this the person you'd like to spend your whole life with?

10. And most importantly, strive for a relationship with your Maker. Don't listen to the bad things people say about God. Go ahead and read the Bible for yourself. Talk with God honestly. Don't look at people because even religious people will disappoint you. But God never disappoints and is what your heart longs for.
