LIFE MANIFESTO: READ IT! TRY IT! NO, DO IT!

by Tatsiana YANUTSEVICH

Nevertheless Maya’s calendar mystically dies out at the 2012 we all are still alive and continue our living. So, the beginning of a new year is the best time for starting new one. What’s about refreshing your old lifestyle and trying something, which can really prevent you from last-year problems and mistakes? There are 5 small secrets for big self-improvement.
Now, let’s pull the trigger!
Before we’ll start, I want to make clear one thing - the main mistake which everyone makes in his life is that he all the time is trying to find himself. Actually, it is very convenient because than it could be a good excuse for all your unrealized dreams and plans – “my life is senseless now because I’m sill in search of myself”. But my position is that playing hide-and-seek with yourself is the first symptom of schizophrenia. The point is that your life isn’t about finding yourself – life is about creating yourself. So, how everyone can create his own masterpiece?
#1: SWITCH ON YOUR IMAGINATION.
If you decided to start self-improvement and self-creating, it means that you need to have a really big goal. Just close your eyes and try to imagine “super-yourself”. What do you see? You lost some weight and became much more self-confident? Or you got the first price in sport competition? Or maybe you are dating with this girl from your university whom you like so much?
If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it.
#2: FORGET THE WORDS “THAN” AND “TOMORROW”.
“I’ll better do it tomorrow” – is it familiar phrase for you? If yes, this point is defiantly for you. This is the best start for any kind of self-improvement, ever! The biggest amount of our unrealized plans comes from bad time planning.
You are checking your Facebook instead of writing or reading some article? You have an important dead-line but you are still putting of doing it? All this things mean that you are a bad tactician. Probably, you even tried to struggle with yourself by making day plan or “to do list”. But I can easily predict that it doesn’t work. These tools couldn’t help you because it’s still the same struggle between “should” and “want”.  Don’t even try to convince yourself to do something. Skip the part with convincing. Just do it! Start now!
#3: DO NOT BE AFRAID OF MAKING MISTAKES.
Learn one thing – the biggest mistake you could ever make is being too afraid to make one. There is nothing which is impossible to correct, especially when you are young. Even if something bad happens never allow it to destroy or define your plans and dreams. Take profits – make conclusions and become wiser and stronger.
Catch the inspiration from Mark Twain quotation: “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover”.
#4: MAKE SKETCH-PLANES INSTEAD OF BIG EXPECTATIONS.
Too many disappointments are usually a sign of too many expectations. When you are not fully satisfied by something it means that you expect more than you received. But the thing is that most of our best life moments happen unpredictably. So, just try to define your way of life, and be ready to face with new adventures on this way. You will never know the side the wind blows.
So, expect less and admire every small happiness.
#5: START IT WITH THE SMILE.
Actually, the last but not least point is your attitude to life. The main secret of all happy and lucky people is that they are optimists. You can find pluses everywhere, the only one thing you need is the desire to see them, because everyone has this capacity.  If you are looking at the glass with some water – it’s half-full, not half-empty glass. Think positive – it’s the best motivation!
Just have a dream. Start realizing it now. Do not be afraid of mistakes, be open for something new and stay optimistic. Keep in mind that if you do not do what you really want and dream about you’ll never have it or be whom you want to be. Step forward, move and create your own way.
