Living 2014 right: try 14 great steps!

Update: 2014-01-05 21:59 GMT
2014 is here. Another year to fight, to forgive, to fall in love.

1. LIVE AND LET LIVE

Many a times we fail to do this. We try and squeeze in every little space. In the initial stage of any relation, constant togetherness feels like a bliss. But, as time passes we all feel suffocated with constant monitoring. Try your best to live and let live for a healthier and better tomorrow.

2. RESPECT

Yourself and others. The more you do that, you will realise its importance. Relationships grow brighter only when two people respect each other. You get respect only when you generously give.

3. DON’T JUDGE

We land up judging others by the way we think. But, judging can lead to wrong decisions and prejudices that harm relationships and hurt us.

4. TRANSPARENCY

Be transparent to your world and yourself. This is one rule that will never let you down. Be honest to your loved ones and if you have to lie, don’t get caught. Lying is an art and you should learn to do it right.

5. SMILE

It actually doesn’t cost a penny but yet we see faces that never smile! Smile is actually sets things right. Don’t forget to share smiles every day. Life is too short to be taken too seriously.

6. SPEND TIME

Not only with your spouse or family but with yourself. Listen to your favourite music, watch some old movies or just catch up with your buddies. Sometimes, just forget that mobile phone, tab or and spend time learning yourself. You will feel brighter!

7. SAVE AND SPEND

Saving for future is very important. But, living life fully is equally vital. Do spend on little treats. Sometimes, just go for a spa session or plan a weekend getaway just to feel like a king. Life is unpredictable, enjoy it. Each day should be a celebration.

8. SURPRISE

Your partner in small little ways and gestures - may be the first cup of coffee to wake him/her or a perfect foot massage at the end of a busy, hectic day. Sometimes do plan small things to floor your partner. This will add a lot of spice to your togetherness.

9. PARENTS

Do try and involve your parents along with your partner for some trips, outings or dinner at a restaurant. Parents never say it but feel really happy when you pay them attention. If all can be woven into one big family, the year will become more beautiful.

10. SAY SORRY and THANK YOU

Don’t hesitate or have any ego to say these. Small words or phrases, some things make a huge difference and can bridge the gaps miraculously. Not only to our own people but to anyone who deserves it, do say ‘sorry’ or ‘thank you’.

11. DON’T TOLERATE...

Everything and anything. Do express, do protest, do fight when you can’t take it anymore. Any situation that troubles you and makes you unhappy, face it and sort it. Be nice but don’t let your niceness be taken for granted.

12. FALL IN LOVE

Affairs might have shattered you. People might have betrayed you. Yet, don’t lose confidence on love. Love will surely paint your life when the time is right. Keep your eyes and heart open to receive love when it arrives.

13. DELETE

Sit back and delete all the phone numbers of those people who don’t exist in your life or bring back bad memories to you. Deleting numbers or deleting from the ‘friends list’ will give you a smile of victory. Just delete the trash, the unwanted.

14. LEARN TO LOVE...

Others for sure, but love yourself first. You are the VIP. Treat yourself the best and then the rest. In our lives, we always put us in the last list of priority and spend most of our lifespan living for others. Time to change that. Alphabetically, ‘I’ comes before ‘U’. So, let it be, ‘I Love I’ this new year!
