We may not have the best economy, technology, or development, but we manage to get by on what we have while striving for excellence.

Hold No Grudge
It’s amazing most people don’t realize holding a grudge hurts them more than it does the offending party.

It’s much easier to forgive a person than to go through the emotional stress of fueling the perceived wrong to keep it burning.

Forgiving a person doesn’t mean we let them back into our lives, if we don’t feel comfortable enough to do so, especially if there’s a tendency they could still hurt us. It simply means we care about ourselves and health enough to not let something like that affect us so. And in the end, we are happier and healthier for it.

Don’t Compare Your Life with Others
Most of us compare and do so more often than is necessary. We see our neighbour or colleague at work doing supposedly better than us, and we get believing they have got it better than us.

However, when we come to realize that each of us has a unique blueprint for life, we will understand that no two persons are or should be in any competition.

No One is in Charge of Your Happiness Except You
You should also understand that you and you alone are 100% responsible for your happiness.

No one holds the key to making you happy. You can either see the glass as half-full or half-empty and make the best out of every situation. You alone can decide to be happy always and work towards it.
