Take it Easy and Enjoy your Life - 2

Surround yourself with what you love. Get a pet. Retain film moments as keepsakes. Keep away from those that drag you down. If that high-paying job makes you sulk at the thought of having to go to work, find a job you would like. If some people force you to comply even if you think of doing otherwise, stay away from their company. Don't put off. Go on that trip. Take your Master's. You'll never know the extent of your life. Do something, while you can.

Don't push yourself too hard trying to please everyone. You just can't. And it never seems to be worth it anyway. When you want to make somebody's day, start with your loved ones.

Keep fit. Be that attractive person you always picture yourself to be. Cherish your health. It's the best way of showing you are putting your best face forward.

Do not assume. Don't fret about forgetting your speech before you actually do it. Don't worry about not getting the job you want because you might mess up at the interview. It's good to expect the worst; but don't end up expecting only the worst.

Alter your way of thinking. When you're being ridiculed, criticized about your family background, or condemned for past mistakes, put on deaf ears. Don't believe everything you hear. You know yourself better than everybody else does. Never wallow in self-pity.

Remember: Don't get upset over things just because it's how most people would react when faced with the same situation. When you find yourself being negative - angry, down, jealous, etc. - you also unknowingly drain your energy and enthusiasm. You just have to try keeping these negative feelings in the low, because giving in to these emotions would sometimes make you unreasonable, and you might end up making bad decisions.

Happiness is always in your grasp. You can attain it, as long as you know how.
