Steps
1.Live Today. Past can’t be brought back and the future will always be uncertain. Today is yours, so make the most of it.
2.Maintain Balance. Your life is affected by the four
aspects that are mental (brain), emotional (heart), spiritual (faith)
and physical (body). Learn to maintain balance of the four aspects, for
as Spice girls have sung, “Too much of something is bad”.
3.Forgive and Forget. The
only person that suffers when you do not forgive is YOU. The other
person is probably caring less of what you feel. Be kind to yourself and
forget about it
4.Accept Change as Part of Life.
The more you can adapt to change, the easier your life is because
change can open bigger and better possibilities for you, if only you’d
accept it.
5.Visit places you’ve never been. Seeing a new place
let you discover and learn more of other things in your life. It helps
you expand your perspective and horizon.
6.Read Books. The best way to live is through continuously learning. Try to be better than “normal” yourself. Keep expanding and growing.
7.Attend Classes. Just like the swimming lessons you’ve
always wanted to take back in high school. Remember that you’d never be
too old to learn and discover where you really can win and be happy.
8.Take Time to Make Memories and Keep Your Journals. We
should not wait for memories to happen, we should make memories happen.
Find time to create memories with others. Make a note of each moment
you do not want to forget, both the good and bad. Read your journal once
in a while to see how far you’ve gone along. Surely, it will make you
SMILE.
9.Capture the Moments. The
ability to retrieve a memory decreases exponentially unless boosted by
artificial aids like photographs and videos. Start taking those pictures
you’d like to look back in your old days.
10.Smile. Nothing beats a cheerful heart and mind. Be
happy regardless. Make the world a better place to live in. Start
sharing your sweet smile.
11.Join a Club. To learn
more about yourself is by being more exposed in to new people and
learning from them. It will help you and everyone else grow; we evolve
at the rate of the tribe we are plugged into.
12.Learn to Give. The old saying would always be true,
“The more you give, the more you receive”. Our value as human being
resides on what we can give and not on our capacity of receiving. Start
spreading goodness by giving.
13.Spend Time With The Young Ones. There’s no better stress reliever than the joy and positive feeling given by the free spirit of a young one.
14.Listen to words from the Elders. Listening to the old
ones makes you a year wiser. Remember, the best way to learn and avoid
extreme failure is through the experiences of others.
15.Accept and Manage Failure. Do not be afraid to make
mistake. Most successful people have gone thru multiple failures. A
great treasure of wisdom is hidden on every failure.
16.Respect Other’s Opinion. Who wins in an argument?
Keep yourself from arguments. Nothing is solved with a heated talk.
Learn to listen to what others may say without necessary believing and
taking them as true for you.
17.Cry. Who said that boys
and big girls don’t cry? You need to cry, it eases the burden and it'll
make you feel better and/or fall asleep.
18.Take Risk. Life is full of chances and you do not
live if you do not take chances. As they say, the higher the risk the
higher possibility of success.
19.Work Smart, Not Hard. The most stressed people are
those who do not know how to work smart. Do not take the entire task to
yourself. Remember, you are not alone in this world. Learn to maximize
and trust the abilities of others. It’s not a weakness to ask for help.
20.Take a Break. Reward yourself for a days’ work. Take
that break, you deserve it and you need it in re-energizing yourself to
another day of work.
21.Start Caring. People don’t care how much you know,
they want to know how much you care. Start caring and let the people
know that you care. Remember, that relationship is more lasting than
accomplishments and prestige.
22.Meditate. Take a time to be with yourself and be
silent. Such can relax the fast-pace life you are in and helps you
discover more of whom you are and who you can become.
23.Be Yourself. Don’t try to act like someone else just
to please everyone. You don’t have to, plus you can’t. Stand firm to who
you are. Eventually, you’d discover who are worth keeping in your life
from those who are not.
24.Discover Your Definite Purpose. Life is a journey. As
you go along your journey, set your maps. Discover the right you at the
right place and time. To help you discover, ask yourself, “If there was
no praise or criticism in the world, then who would you be?” Once you
know the answer, you are right there.
25.Live Life with the World. Do not live for yourself alone; remember that there are other people and creatures that surrounding this world. Even if unaware, every move and action you take creates an effect to others. Learn to take responsibility of your actions. And start contributing your knowledge and experience for the benefit of the whole world.
26.Be focus. Do
not allow any distractions in dealing with your personal issues,create a
perfect niche to handle your worries. and make life worth living for
yourself.

If you feel a cold coming on, notice a loved one sniffling and
sneezing, or just need a nice big bowl of “ahhh”, try this comforting
chicken soup recipe from TV star and cookbook guru Paula Deen’s Southern Cooking Bible.
I have been a mama a pretty long time now, and I come from a long
line of ladies who knew the power of soup, so I feel qualified to tell
y’all that this is the best cure for whatever ails you
that I know. Plenty of chicken flavor, plenty of chicken meat, tender
carrots, and rice, and a sweet little surprise tarragon flavor make this
just about the most comforting, healing food you can serve....
