5 traits that make life an easy sail




5 Qualities that make life an easy sail





1. Humor: Laughter is the best medicine. I am not talking about the social laughs, but the tears rolling down your cheek, uncontrollable laughter. Life is tough, but we can make it easier if we tickled our funny bone often. Humor is different for everyone – (honestly, I don’t laugh easy), for some it comes easy or others not so. I admire people who can see the light (er) side in every dark situation.

2. Taking yourself or others too seriously: The problems in life start when you believe that you are center of universe. Laughing at others is fine, but being able to laugh at self is priceless. Lighten up, the problems are there, and once they are done, there will be other challenges. The trick is to believe in the mortality of the situation and yourself too.

3. Believe that you are perfect: The happiest people I have seen are those who don’t sit and analyze their flaws and mistakes. They are the confident people (arrogant to others), who are never wrong, so never have the feeling of guilt, regret or self-doubt. Life is definitely easy when you have learnt the art of blaming others and seeing self with rose colored glasses.

4. Love: Surround yourself with things to love. It needn’t be just nature or animals, it can be a car, food, hobby anything that excites you. And applying the adage if you love someone set it free – applies to material stuff too – love them unconditionally whether you possess them or not.

5. Set your own rules: Often we are ruled by the guidelines set by others about what is expected of you. It takes a lot of courage and independence to set your own signposts of success stories. When we are secure enough in our being and appreciate our worth, no one can make you feel like a failure and no setback can bring your belief in yourself down.
