Here is a simple formula for a successful and happy life…

Have you ever watched older people?  Ever noticed the ones who look happy and content with their lives and seem to have no regrets?

What do they know that the rest of us don’t?  Here are some of the things they do that too many people today do not do.

  • Live beneath your means.
  • Return everything you borrow.
  • Stop blaming other people.
  • Admit your mistakes.
  • Do nice things and try not to get caught doing them.
  • Listen more and talk less!
  • Strive for excellence, not perfection.
  • Be on time and do not make excuses.
  • Don’t argue with others.
  • Get organized.
  • Be kind to unkind people.
  • Let others cut ahead of you in line without getting angry or frustrated.
  • Take alone time every day.
  • Cultivate good manners in yourself and others.
  • Be humble.
  • Realize and accept that life is not fair.
  • Know when to keep your mouth shut.
  • Avoid criticizing others.
  • Do not gossip.
  • Learn from the past, plan for the future, and live in the present.
  • Don’t sweat the small stuff.
  • Remember that most things in life are small stuff.
  • Do not be afraid to stand up for what is right when others do not.
  • Fly alone.  Remember that pigeons flock together and eagles fly alone.

If you need to integrate these behaviors into your life, integrate them one by one.   You can add one behavior until it becomes a habit, then add the next one.

Follow this simple formula and have a successful and happy life!
