Socrates once gave us a piece of very precious and quite powerful advice telling us to employ our time in improving ourselves by other men’s writings so that we shall gain easily what others have labored hard for. And I would like to add something else to his wise and precious words – to also seek to observe and to learn from those who have discovered how to love themselves and their lives. Because by doing so, we shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.
15 Things People Who Love Their Lives Do Differently
1. People who love their lives are independent of the ‘good and bad opinions of others.
They are free from the chains of bondage in which most of us live. They live life the way they want to live their lives and not the way those around them expect them to live. They know that rules are made by humans and meant to be broken by humans and aren’t afraid to be the humans who break these rules effectively whenever it is required.
2. People who love their lives have no problem saying ‘no’.
If most people are too afraid to choose temporary discomfort over resentment, these people have no problem with it. They know that they are only responsible for how they feel but not for how others feel and because of that they aren’t afraid to say “NO” when they feel like saying no. They are smart enough to choose temporary discomfort over resentment and to always say “NO” when they feel like saying no.
3. People who love their lives would rather be alone than in bad company.
They understand that letting go is part of life and when it is required, they let go and move on. They understand that being alone is better than being in bad company and aren’t afraid to let go of relationships that have gone bad and friendships that became toxic.
4. People who love their lives aren’t afraid to ‘get lost.
They understand that life is a process of becoming and that as we advance through life we grow and we change. They understand that with growth comes change and with change comes a sense of being lost.
They know that if you don’t get lost, you risk never being found. They know that feeling lost is proof of growth and instead of being afraid of it, they look forward to it.
5. People who love their lives allow things to take their natural course.
They know that life has a natural flow to follow and that things always go their own way, effortlessly. They know that trying to control things, people and events will be a waste of their time. And they don’t waste any time.
6. People who love their lives know that real power comes from within.
They know that true power comes from within and they invest a lot of time to nourish and unleash this inner power. They waste no time trying to gain power from outside themselves because they know that’s not where true power resides.
7. People who love their lives don’t believe in security.
They don’t believe in security and they never search for it. They know that nothing in life is certain and they made peace with this truth.
8. People who love their lives love to give.
They understand that everything is energy and that energy has to flow. And they keep the energy flowing, giving and giving, whenever possible and as much as possible. They are generous and give with an open heart. They give their knowledge, their love, their appreciation, their money, and their possessions, and the more they give the more they seem to have.
9. People who love their lives trust their intuition and they follow their hearts.
They follow their heart and they listen to their intuition, always doing the things that their heart is asking them to do. They know that the heart is a lot wiser than the mind. They see their heart as their most trusted and most reliable adviser and they always follow her advice.
