Yes life is tough, I am the first to admit it, but being a person who has just started to live life on my own terms at 40+, I wanted to create a life of contentment and peace. By contentment I don't mean to take everything life throws at me and to quietly accept it, but to be grateful for what I couldn't change and work towards what I could. So I came up with this list which has become my bible on days when I am not feeling so positive and upbeat about life. It's a list I made to create a life of simplicity and abundance, of utter silence from within and of pure peace.
Here are the ABCs of living a life of peace, tranquility and spiritual abundance:
A-Approach each day with a passion and excitement. Open your arms for all good things that are coming your way
B-Be who you are and stop putting on a mask on to please others
C-Cut the crap- remove negative people and things from your life
D-Dedicate your life to "You" and the ones you love
E-Enjoy the little things in life like a beautiful sunset or a smile from a stranger
F-Forgive, forgive and forgive
G-Give to others in the form of love and kindness
H-Happiness is the key to living a healthy peaceful life , find happiness in everything
I-Invest in your own passions. We do so many things to make others happy but we don't invest enough time to follow our own passions
