Well it might sound impressive, but I don't know what the heck it means!! Anyway, below are a few things which I believe would make the world a better place if we all felt the same... (feel free to disagree, though!)
Know no fear have no fear
Fear seems to dominate our lives. There's so much to worry about. What is the point in worrying about something that probably won't happen to you anyway, though?
Be happy with what you have
We seem to spend too much time looking at what others have, and wanting it for ourselves simply because it's available. Why have something just for the sake of it, though? Why not just have things which you really do need, and keep the rest of the money for a rainy day??
Wear what you like, because you want to, not because society or fashion dictates it
People who know me will know I've never been a big one for fashion. I just wear what's comfortable. Makes more sense to me. I mean, to be effective in what you do, you have to feel happy and comfortable about yourself. If you're wearing something just to 'fit in', you may feel uncomfortable, and hence not be as happy and effective as you would have been had you worn something you'd have felt more comfortable in.
For love not money
I've held this philosophy since I was twelve, and cling to it stronger than is at times evident. Life appears to be very materialistic.There's a saying that you don't get something for nothing, which I totally disagree with. If everything was done for love not money, I believe the world would be a much happier place.
Be happy in what you do
This is kind of related to the last one. I feel satisfaction in what you do is of more value than any amount of money you can gain from it. This is in particular reference to jobs. I believe in the long run it is more beneficial to do something you enjoy for a pittance, than it is to do something you don't like or are bored with for a fortune. Happiness has priority over money.
Aim to live at peace with all others
If you are happy and pleasant to people, they will generally act the same way towards you. What is the point in holding a grudge against someone else? Wouldn't you rather overlook their faults and weaknesses and carry on with what life has to offer you?? Life tend to be a better experience that way!
Don't hold prejudice attitudes towards an individual or group of people
Too many people judge by outer appearances or what they believe to be true of a group or an individual. I believe that everyone has a right to their individuality, and we should get to know what is inside a person. After all, it is what is inside a person that will shine through them and make them what they are, not what they look like. Other peoples stereotypes may also be proved wrong, so you should give everybody a chance to prove themselves to you. We all have our faults and feel entitled to a second chance, so why not allow those around us to be given their second chance?
This is a story which a friend forwarded me which I felt just about summed a few things up.
