Life

[{'tag': 0, 'content': "Everyone has the power to be happy. Don't think you are assigned a happiness value. It's what you fill your mind with, the actions you take, experiences and values you nurture. It only takes a few disciplined approaches. Your happiness depends not only on what you do to yourself but what you do to others."}, {'tag': 1, 'content': "Exercise moderation in every walk of life. I repeat every walk of life—no exceptions. I mean no fanatical attachments whatsoever. In pain and pleasure, don't let the emotional mood swing too far to either side— embrace a Zen mindset."}, {'tag': 2, 'content': "A positive swing too far can get you in trouble for acts unthinkable. Too far to the negative side can leave you sad, depressed, etc. Too disciplined an approach will make life too bureaucratic, and an undisciplined approach makes life chaotic. Don't engage in cheap thrills, for it can get you into lifelong strife."}, {'tag': 3, 'content': "Don't be burdened by too many unfinished tasks, jumping from task to task, probably due to high anxiety—this will get you into the loser column fast. Focus on one task at a time and put each task in a separate silo. With practice, you will be able to do that—I guarantee."}, {'tag': 4, 'content': 'Provide feedback or suggestions—and then leave them alone. Do not coerce others into your ideas—coercing is a very bad trait. As a receiver, encourage lots of them, then make your judgment—nobody has as much background as you have.'}, {'tag': 5, 'content': "Don't nurture habits like looking at the clock all the time, needing a drink, frequent cigarette breaks, or needing to go on a vacation after some tough tasks. Enduring it, you become stronger to handle such tasks without crutches next time."}, {'tag': 6, 'content': 'Be generous in opinions and judgments in social and private life with family and friends. Most often, others ask you to concur, not for critical judgment. In many social settings, you are expected to say yes and agree, say it’s great. At parties, you are expected to entertain, not argue or correct - it’s not a court deposition. Reserve your unsolicited comments, opinions, and critiques for yourself. Do not engage in correcting people however obvious it is. Of course, gaslighting is very bad.'}, {'tag': 7, 'content': "Don't keep on creating stereotypes of every event, person, idea, and place—otherwise, you will be left an aggravated, angry person, hating all that you come across, on remote resemblance."}, {'tag': 8, 'content': 'Just to ponder about the cosmos, our solar system rotates around the center of our galaxy that takes around 250 million miles long at a speed of around 500, 000 miles per/hour - the speed that will only take about an hour to complete a round trip to the moon. If a gold atom is fully packed as much as the subatomic particles allow for, gold would weigh about 12 trillion times heavier. Back to earth.'}, {'tag': 9, 'content': "Don't build up stress or worry about the result or job not being done perfectly—you can't do anything about it. We all have our share of wins and losses, and you are not going to be an exception."}, {'tag': 10, 'content': 'Any situation, place, person, or idea can be visualized in many ways. Give it the benefit of the doubt to make it an ally rather than an adversary—it’s good for all of us. Practice experiencing, visualizing, and thinking of items, people, places, and events in a way that works for you. Over time, it will fall on your side to your advantage.'}, {'tag': 11, 'content': "Take control of your mind slowly; don't follow what your mind says. Tell yourself that you will decide and that you are in charge of how to act. That may include jumping from issue to issue, playing the victim very easily, needing emotional support, and negatively stereotyping people, places, events, and ideas."}, {'tag': 12, 'content': "Just like your mind becomes the thoughts you fill it with, your body becomes what you eat. Fill your mind with happy thoughts. Nurture good values and ideals. Your mind can be trained. Portion control is still the best dietary approach. Transition from a platter to a plate to a bowl, then pay attention to the quality of the food. Don't nurture the thought of relishing big portions."}, {'tag': 13, 'content': 'If you consume an enormous amount of salad, you have not reduced the stomach sack size—your appetite will not be reduced. Try to make up for a big meal with a small one within 24 hours—lest you forget. Imagine the stress being overweight can cause on your body organs.'}, {'tag': 14, 'content': 'Create events to get excited about every day—something like waiting anxiously to open presents the day after Christmas. Be engaged in useful activities—it does not have to be a paying job but not frivolous.'}, {'tag': 15, 'content': 'Practice planning tasks and events that bear fruit not just for tomorrow or in a month but decades out. Stop looking at the clock or checking your email every minute. Enjoy what you are doing now. This comes with practice. Not a fan of “live the moment”, for it can be misunderstood as not planning, or working for the future. Our life today is the accumulation of the terrific, great, good, bad, and ugly decisions we made in the past.'}, {'tag': 16, 'content': "Everyone needs big or small accomplishments every day to keep that fire going. It may be trivial, like making the bed in the morning or tidying up after yourself. Don't think these small chores are below your pay grade. You can see the wisdom in people who keep busy by planning the daily activities or working around the place they live; this avoids boredom and loneliness; you don't have to be next to a person physically all the time – don't nature that thought of loneliness."}, {'tag': 17, 'content': 'Your mind does not care that much about the significance of your accomplishments. How you complete even trivial chores sets the precedent for bigger tasks later. Cultivate the habit of willingly completing every task, with a smile, even if you must force one.'}, {'tag': 18, 'content': "Keep an open mind. Don't get stuck on the wrong side of people, places, events, and ideas. Evaluate every engagement to see if you are fair and not being influenced by stereotypes. Otherwise, life can be miserable. Don't see a monster in every engagement. That does not mean rolling over and accepting everything, as others can exploit you."}, {'tag': 19, 'content': "Don't be crushed by bundling all your worries together. Divide them into individual issues to conquer. Keep them in separate silos. Spend a little time on each; try to resolve one at a time. I guarantee you can do that."}, {'tag': 20, 'content': "Your mind wants you to experience fear with more fear. Don't dwell on fear often, or else you will be caught in the downward spiral of fear. The more you think of any fearful event, like experiencing the pain of the event over and over again, the stronger it gets. You may think you are supposed to endure the ever-increasing pain, but no, absolutely not. On the contrary, justify that place, people, or event are not that bad. Say to yourself that you can handle it—of course, you can."}, {'tag': 21, 'content': "Do not look for emotional support every time things don't turn out the way you like. Try to handle it by yourself for your emotional maturity—it’s something like exercising with support; it does not help to build your muscles. "}, {'tag': 22, 'content': "Don't become a lonely human being. Think of yourself as a part of a much bigger universe of people. Wish others well, share in their pain, rejoice in their accomplishments, empathize with their suffering, pray for their welfare, and practice little acts of kindness every day. Help with trivial to significant deeds to reduce their distress"}, {'tag': 23, 'content': "Know your body and watch for changes—your doctor cannot help if you don't provide much for diagnoses. Proactive actions like regular checkups can help avoid major illnesses. We are fearful of the outcome, but as you know, it is unjustified. Say to yourself that it can only help, not uncover something that is not there."}, {'tag': 24, 'content': "Be empathetic in life or cultivate it. There is nothing so powerful that it gives a soothing comfort under any distress in life. You are supposed to be saddened by other's distress. Spend some time improving your professional skills—like what you do, for it pays the bills. Don't overreact to small disappointments or bad news – if you do, you have trained and nurtured poorly. This can make life miserable. Even if it's significant, take it in stride, everyone has their misfortunes, and do not fight and agonize about it."}, {'tag': 25, 'content': ' Silence is golden. Many arguments can be diffused with clever use of silence. Don’t stereotype every event or person—that is going to be tedious.'}, {'tag': 26, 'content': "Practice, practice, and practice what you have learned. If you don't, soon you will lose what you have studied at school, online, or in any other form. Practicing makes you understand the concepts for every day."}, {'tag': 27, 'content': 'Smiling is probably one of the most underused tools. It’s the most powerful signaling mechanism—a rainbow full of emotions. Practice smiling; check it in the mirror. Try variations. If you can control your smile in any situation, you are almost a winner. Smile as often as you can manage daily, with no frown. There is nothing that pokes holes in the dark cloud of gloom. '}, {'tag': 28, 'content': 'Try smiling sublimely when you are tackling a tedious chore, person, place, or situation—you will be amazed at the result. Your mind will put you at ease the next time you encounter it.

Move with people who are at peace and happiness. If you don't know the answer, say so, no point misguiding others. Review your lifestyle from time to time; question if it is aligned with your goals in life."}, {'tag': 30, 'content': 'Incentivize new efforts, for that first step is hard. Every change is a disruption however trivial it may be. We are not much different from pets, think of your favorite treats – tall drink, nice dress, there are many to choose from. Nothing tastes better than an accomplishment in your pocket, however trivial it may be.'}, {'tag': 31, 'content': 'Learn from places, people, and events, then try to incorporate them into your daily life. Nurture the joy of learning – trivial to complex. Learning gets a bad rap – reminds us of school tests. Think of it as playing a video game and getting better or winning. But nothing boosts your self-esteem like new things learned.'}, {'tag': 32, 'content': 'Taking small risks in life can create new excitement. Learn new skills. Work done efficiently, with discipline, and self-control gets sublimely winner ratings.

It may be in biz, romance, or whatever you are seeking. Handout your card, if there is a match. Just like you, others may be looking for one like you.

Just hold off your critical opinion a little longer and frame it in a gentle tone."}, {'tag': 35, 'content': 'What is the origination of an idea, and why and how that follows are less abstract. Most often what cannot be outsourced. Skill to deal with qualitative and ambiguous items is well paid – which mostly comes with experience. All said skill to solve as in how does not garner that much value – for it is well defined.
