How to start living life on your own terms and stay happy
We have two options one that we must live life on our own terms & priorities and the other option is to accept the way time and circumstances require us to compromise our priorities and live accordingly. If we are able to discipline our routine and create our own priorities and focus on adopting them religiously in our life then it is always easily possible to start living life as per our own terms instead of having a compromising approach which is extremely negative for ones personal development.
Conscious living with preferences for staying happy
We must adopt conscious living for finding ultimate preferences of life to live every moment happily & positively.
Stop blindly following others footsteps
Also develop a strict habit to stop blindly following others footsteps and ultimately getting lost in the crowd.
Have a specific purpose in life
There exists an urgent need to live every passing moment in this life with a specific purpose.
By creating this awareness about the present moment we can slowly start garnering the ability of living our life as per our own terms.
Define main objective or goal of your life
By finding value for every opportunity in this life we slowly start defining the main objective or goal that we aspire to accomplish in this extremely short span of life that we are blessed with in form of human birth.
Conscious living helps to establish better control on life events
Living our life consciously helps us to gain direct control over our life and with this we start enjoying living for those little yet precious moments that tend to add happiness and positivity to our world that too on our very own terms.
Learn to stop impressing others at the cost of your happiness
This search for gaining direct control of our life also saves us from futile effort of impressing others at the cost of sacrificing our very own likes & preferences.
Live life to fullest extent of your affordability without compromising on mental peace
Here It gets important to understand and simultaneously start appreciating the fact that the purpose outlining the above topic of discussion is not suggesting to live a low key life rather if one feels that living in abundance and luxuries could only satisfy their purpose and perspective of life then they are always welcome to do so in an informed manner. Main thing is our mental peace should remain intact.
Aim for a path that fulfills your desires & expectations from life
Advocating for a humble & simple living is not at all the idea and purpose of this write up what is being Intended is to be able to take up the path that fulfills our desires and expectations from life.
Live the way you love to exist
The basic and important ideology being preached here is that for every Individual it is their very own life and therefore why should they not get inspired to live it the way they love to exist.
Never disrespect social norms
Since we belong to a category of civilized social animal of course there is no doubt that it is obligatory for everyone to live within the broad spectrum of accepted social codes of conduct and behavior.
Always Respect legal norms in deciding your life priorities
This means that although each one of us is bound and expected to follow and abide the law of the land but then within the afforded scope of the socially acceptable norms we must further leave every individual to exist purely according to their personal choices & preferences.
Unconscious versus conscious living
While unconscious living is similar to making a compromise with the life and succumb to social trends and expectations on the other hand Conscious living is to allow each individual to freely follow what In their understanding and self belief seems to do highest good to them in their life.
