Life’s 11 Principles
No
one in this world lives life exactly like you do. You are unique in
that your experiences and choices have shaped you into who you are
today, and no one else has been through the exact same experiences.
Despite that, there are certain universal truths about life that we
cannot deny. You may know some of them, but whether you do or not, it’s
good to have a proper list that you can read and share with the people
you care about.

1. Growth Is Almost Always Accompanied by Pain
Be
patient when you’re going through hardships, because one day that pain
you’re experiencing will show its meaning. People who have the power to
succeed in the long run are those who have used life’s bricks to lay the
foundation for growth. Don’t be afraid to break from time to time, nor
to fall apart, because those moments are the ones that will also present
you with the best opportunities to grow and rebuild yourself.
2. Only You Know What You’re Capable Of
Unless
there’s a person out there who can stare directly into your heart and
soul, and see your strength and desires, no one can tell you who you are
and what you’re capable of. Others may know what they can and cannot
accomplish, but they can’t apply the same standards to you. Furthermore,
if you remember and maintain this attitude, you just might surprise
yourself.
3. True Beauty Is Internal
Only
when you truly know someone, do their physical traits fade away. You
begin to feel the person’s energy, recognize their scent and can
appreciate their wit. You see that person’s essence and not the envelope
it resides in. This is why you cannot fully love someone based solely
on their appearance. You may feel desire, or be charmed by a person, but
we can only truly love him/her once we get to know them.
4. You’re Always a Student
At
every stage in your life you will be presented with new lessons, and
will have something new to learn. Every bad experience can teach you how
to avoid it in the future, or cope with it if need be. Every good
experience can teach you how to preserve it and extend it. As long as
you follow your heart and never stop learning life’s lessons, you’ll
never become truly old, but evolve and grow.

5. Your Love Creates Your Happiness
Your
happiness is a direct result of the love you give the world. When you
love, you aspire to be a better person. When you become a better person,
everything around you becomes better that how it was in our youth. Love
is our teacher: As adults, love is the foundation we must live by. In
our old age, love is our sweetest memory. Love creates our happiness.
6. The Respect You Give Is the Respect You Get
You
can’t demand respect, nor convince someone to respect you by saying
what they want to hear. Respect is earned by listening to others,
acknowledging their feelings and respecting them as you would like them
to respect you. Be kind and respect everyone, even those who don’t
respect you back – not because they deserve it, but because you do.
7. Negativity Is Poison for the Soul
Don’t
let negativity and unwanted drama lead you astray from your path of
becoming a better person. Focus on the here and now, life is too short
and your time is too precious to be wasted on trivial matters. When you
decide to put your life on track again, the answers to your questions
will present themselves on their own.
8. Your Health Is Your Life
No
matter what size and shape it is, your body is the most important tool
you’ll ever have. The way you treat your body will directly affect the
quality of your life. Exercise to be in shape, not to lose weight. Eat
well to nourish your body, not because you’ll be thinner. Go for a jog, a
swim, a bike ride – it doesn’t matter, just get some exercise, your
body will thank you. A healthy body is an energetic body, and an
energetic body is an energized mind.

9. Letting Go Is Part of Moving On
You’ll
never get what you truly need if you stay attached to things you ought
to let go of. Sometimes we love, then we fight, and then we learn to let
go, and that’s perfectly fine. If you want to take your life’s proper
course, you need to learn to let go.
10. The Here & Now Is a Gift
It’s
not called “the present” for naught. Your whole life has led you to
this very moment, right now. Think about it for a second, everything
you’ve been through and experienced, every challenge you’ve overcome,
every fall you stood up from, all of them have led you to this moment in
time. This moment is priceless, so don’t lose it.
11. Your Choices Shape Your Life
Every
day, we are presented with choices. We can appreciate what we have,
choose to give ourselves time, choose to do something that will make us
smile, choose to be excited, choose to laugh, choose to spend time with
people who make us feel good, choose to pursue our goals, and more. Make
a choice every morning what your day will be like. This choice is the
toolbox that will help you live the life of your dreams. Just remember
to choose.
