    Try to Develop & Continue with these Habits on a Daily Basis:

    1. Appreciate Life
    Be thankful that you woke up alive each morning. Develop a childlike sense of wonder towards life. Focus on the beauty of every living thing. Make the most of each day. Don't take anything for granted. Don't sweat the small stuff.

    2. Choose Friends Wisely
    Surround yourself with happy, positive people who share your values and goals.

    3. Be Considerate
    Accept others for who they are as well as where they are in life. Respect them for who they are. Touch them with a kind and generous spirit. Help when you are able, without trying to change the other person. Try to brighten the day of everyone you come into contact with.

    4. Learn Continuously
    Keep up to date with the latest news regarding your career and hobbies.

    5. Creative Problem Solving
    Don't wallow in self-pity. As soon as you face a challenge get busy finding a solution.

    6. Do What They Love
    We spend a great deal of our life working. Choose a career that you enjoy – the extra money of a job you detest isn't worth it. Make time to enjoy your hobbies and pursue special interests.

    7. Enjoy Life
    Take the time to see the beauty around you. There's more to life than work. Take time to smell the roses, watch a sunset or sunrise with a loved one, take a walk along the seashore, hike in the woods etc. Learn to live in the present moment and cherish it. Don't live in the past or the future.

    8. Laugh
    Don't take yourself – or life to seriously.

    9. Forgive
    Holding a grudge will hurt no one but you. Forgive others for your own peace of mind.

    10. Gratitude
    Develop an attitude of gratitude. Count your blessings; All of them – even the things that seem trivial. Be grateful for your home, your work and most importantly your family and friends. Take the time to tell them that you are happy they are in your life.

    11. Invest in Relationships
    Always make sure your loved ones know you love them even in times of conflict. Nurture and grow your relationships with your family and friends by making the time to spend with them. Don't break your promises to them. Be supportive.

    12. Keep Their Word
    Honesty is the best policy.

    13. Meditate
    Meditation gives your very active brain a rest.

    14. Mind Their Own Business
    Concentrate on creating your life the way you want it. Take care of you and your family.

    15. Optimism
    See the glass as half full. Find the positive side of any given situation.

    16. Love Unconditionally
    Accept others for who they are. You don't put limitations on your love. Even though you may not always like the actions of your loved ones – you continue to love them.

    17. Persistence
    Never give up. Face each new challenge with the attitude that it will bring you one step closer to your goal. You will never fail, as long as you never give up.

    18. Be Proactive
    Accept what can not be changed. Happy people don't waste energy on circumstances beyond their control. Accept your limitations as a human being.

    19. Self Care
    Take care of your mind, body and health. Get regular medical check ups. Eat healthy and work out. Get plenty of rest. Drink lots of water. Exercise your mind by continually energizing it with interesting and exciting challenges.

    20. Self Confidence
    Don't try to be someone that you're not. After all no one likes a phony. Determine who you are in the inside – your own personal likes and dislikes. Be confident in who you are. Do the best you can and don't second guess yourself.

    21. Take Responsibility
    Happy people know and understand that they are 100% responsible for their life. They take responsibility for their moods, attitude, thoughts, feelings, actions and words. They are the first to admit when they've made a mistake.
