Fix: The cycle-loving ladies in the video above exhibit a brilliant way to remedy this common conundrum.

When someone hurts you, it’s hard to find the reason to be kinder to them. Sometimes people say and do things that hurt us deeply and most of us try to hurt them in return, but that’s a huge mistake. Being rude or vengeful will make you feel worse and can even cause you lots of problems. No matter how painful your situation might be, it’s important to be nice and kind to others. Just like Henry James once said, “Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” Below is the list of a few undeniable reasons to be kinder to people who have hurt you.

1. It shows what a good person you are

While you don’t have to prove anything to anyone, being kinder to people who’ve hurt you will prove what a wonderful and intelligent person you are. People around you will perceive you as a smart and strong person who knows what to say in a difficult situation. Many of us can’t find the right words to say to the people who’ve hurt us. Try to be kinder to people around you, even if they’ve hurt you many times, and inspire others to do the same.

2. It softens your attitude towards them

Another reason to be kinder to someone who’s hurt you is because it can soften your attitude toward them. Sure, you can respond to them as mercilessly as they’ve been to you, but this will only make a bad situation worse. Being kinder to them is a smart way to respond to them. This way, you’ll feel less hatred toward them. I always pity someone who’s hurt me for being such a miserable and hateful person.

3. You won’t feel miserable and guilty

If you’re kind to people who have hurt you, you will have nothing to feel guilty about. Being rude in return means that you might feel down about two things. You might feel miserable because they’ve hurt you and you might feel guilty because you was rude to them. The best way to respond to unkindness is to smile and be kind to those who have hurt you.

4. You’ll feel good about yourself

When you’re kinder to someone who has hurt you, you’ll feel good about yourself and you will know that you are better than that person. Rudeness won’t make you feel better. Always set an example for others by being kinder to people who have hurt you, and everyone will respect you for it.

5. You’ll kill them with your kindness

It’s always a good idea to kill people who’ve hurt you with kindness (as the saying goes) than hurt them in return. Maybe your kindness will make them admit their mistake and apologize. Even if they won’t admit their mistake, your kindness will simply drive them crazy and they will leave you alone. Avoid communicating with them, instead surround yourself with kind and positive people who make you happy.

6. It’ll change their rude behavior towards you

Being kinder to people who have hurt you could change their rude behavior towards you. Your kindness might make them reconsider their actions. It’s hard to change someone’s behavior towards you, but you need to at least try. My kindness made many people who had hurt me sorry for their rude behavior towards me. This is a good reason for me to be kinder to rude people and those who’ve hurt me.

7. Others will speak well of you

When someone hurts you in front of others, being kind to them won’t show to others that you are weak. It will allow others to know what a wonderful and smart person you are. They will definitely notice this personality trait and they will respect you even more than ever before. Moreover, the person who’ve hurt you will notice your kindness as well, whether they want it or not.

Being kinder to people who have hurt you is both a skill and an art. It’s a challenging task, but try not to hurt anyone in return. Many people think that kindness is a sign of weakness, but it’s not true. Khalil Gibran said, “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair, but manifestations of strength and resolution.” Remember it the next time someone hurts you. What’s your best way to respond to those who’ve hurt you?

Many wise people believe that anger is nothing more than just a weakness. The feeling of anger can mess your mind and make you take pointless and even risky decisions. It’s extremely important to be more patient when you are angry in order to avoid grief and sorrow in future. It’s scientifically proved that the feeling of anger can seriously damage your mental and physical health, because it produces the same psychological and physiological effects as stress. Furthermore, anger can destroy your social, personal and professional relationships. That’s why you shouldn’t let anger exert negative influence on your life. The best way to avoid mistakes when you’re feeling angry is to calm down and return to the situation when you’re thinking as clearly as you normally do. I hope this article will teach you to manage anger and live in accord with the society.

1. Post your anger on social media

Unfortunately, many people tend to use social media in order to vent and broadcast angry information and thoughts to big masses of people. By all means, you shouldn’t post your anger on social networks. It’s not a wise decision to tell the whole world how you feel at the moment, because you’ have the risk to get a negative reputation in the society. Plus, various angry comments can deject your friends’ spirit. Try to accentuate your blessings, not weaknesses.

2. Make decisions

When I want to make a right decision, I prefer to focus on the situation and weigh all advantages and disadvantages. Moreover, it’s desirable to do things when you are calm. If you make a decision under the pressure of anger or other negative feelings, you’ll regret and find them mad or foolish later. It’s of great importance to develop the skill to keep emotions under control when you are dealing with serious life questions. You should draw a line between emotions and your life responsibilities.

3. Let anger mistreat others

You may not notice, but when you’re angry you often take it out on others. Do something to control your feelings, if you don’t want to burn bridges and offend people around you. You may use different breathing techniques, which help to reduce stress and eliminate the feeling of anger. If nothing helps, then try to get away and calm down. I think your circle of contacts shouldn’t suffer from your feelings. Successful and wise people tend to make their bad day better, instead of spoiling mood of those who are around them.

4. Drive

When you’re angry, try to keep out of driving. Research shows that angry people are primed for attack that’s why they are more inattentive and aggressive on the road. Don’t jump in a vehicle when you feel rage or anger running in your veins, because you put yourself and other people in danger. If you experience a stress while driving a car, you should stop for a while and do something to calm down. When your eyes are filled with anger, you may not see a pedestrian crossing the street and you can make a fatal error.

5. Talk to everyone

It’s normal to talk your problems and inner conflict out, but you should always share it with trusted people, because others can misunderstand and start gossiping about you and your life. You’d better take some time to blow off some steam and keep calm. Trusted friends can give you a valuable advice on how to get rid of anger and enjoy life. I prefer to go through the moment of anger in private, because the less people know about your worries, the better reputation and private life you’ll have.

6. Return to bad habits

I hope everyone knows that anger can break or damage the power of will. If you continue smoking or drinking alcohol, you’ll just get new problems. It’s desirable to find more useful and healthier ways to deal with this terrible feeling. It’s been proved that physical exercise can ward off anger and other bad feelings. If you do physical exercises on a regular basis, you’ll have a chance to increase the level of serotonin. This hormone decreases aggressive behavior and makes you happier.

7. Socialize

I think it’s difficult to socialize and enjoy the company of people around when you’re full of anger. It’s better to keep the distance until you get a grip of your anger. Otherwise, you can alienate people around you. You can leave positive impression on others only when you learn to suppress this destructive feeling before socializing. Those people who experience less anger and hatred are more successful and socially popular, because people love those who have a frank smile and emit pleasant energy.

Anger is a dangerous feeling that can either come in handy or poison your life. Ambrose Bierce once said a magnificent thing, “Speak when you are angry and you will make the best speech you will ever regret.” You should be wise enough to process your anger and find a peace of mind.

It’s a good idea to replace a coffee time together with a toxic person with your favorite activity. The less time you spend with those who blow your mind, the more benefit you’ll get.

2. Change your pastime

It often happens that toxic people are hunting you even when you use your accounts on social networks. They write you negative messages and share the info that is sucking the energy out of you.

Many social network websites offer different functions which help you block or unfriend those who prevent you from getting a peace of mind.

Those who don’t waste time on social networks have a more interesting and colorful life.

3. Stop spending one-on-one time with toxic people

You should always keep in mind that it’s extremely dangerous to spend one-on-one time with toxic people, because they will have an opportunity to saturate you with their problems and choric negativity. Try to have some backup while communicating with the toxic person. Other people will draw this person’s attention away from you and it can help you focus on something positive and funny. Surround yourself with positive people as often as possible.

4. Talk about something positive

If you are talking to a toxic person then you’d better take an initiative to lead the conversation. Try to avoid topics which can make the conversation tensed and unpleasant. Try to talk about positive things to lighten the mood of the whole company. It may take you some time to develop the skill to lead a pleasant conversation under the emotional pressure of toxic people. But, you’ll be able to handle the situation and stay positive.

5. Don’t listen to their complaints

Many toxic people are the source of complaints. They try to find someone to complain about troubles of their life and about all negative things in the world. It is easy to be bogged down in the spiral of negativity, if you are surrounded by those who breed negativity. The only weapon that can help you defend your energy is a positive mental attitude. Toxic people prefer to steer clear of those who think differently and don’t support their negative outlook.

6. Don’t let their negativity damage your sub-consciousness

When you are surrounded by people who fill your life with their negativity, you should take certain actions to protect your inner world. Their constant hurtful words can easily diminish your confidence. Stop listening to their complaints, because this negativity can sink into your subconscious mind and damage both your mental and physical well-being. Then it will be difficult to clear your mind of negative thoughts.

7. Agree with them

I know that it’s difficult to prove toxic people that they are wrong. But what for? There’s no need to kill your nerves in arguments with them. The best thing you can do is to agree with them, but do everything on your own way. Just say “ok” or “I see.” It will protect you from negative attacks and reduce the frequency of quarrels and confrontations.

Forgiveness is the quality of strong and wise people. You should acknowledge that all people are allowed to make mistakes. Only a strong desire to get rid of hidden hurts can help you find the ability to forgive and overcome your emotions.
Human beings have an instinct to hurt back, when they have been hurt. Unfortunately, many people prefer to revenge and keep hurts hidden deeply in their heart. I think it’s better to forgive, if you don’t want to leave an open wound in your soul.

5. Encourage yourself

If there are no people in your circle of contacts who can give you a helping hand and encourage you, then you should take the initiative to support yourself. Try to give yourself things and pleasures you didn’t get earlier. These actions can help you turn your hurts and inner conflicts into your strengths and advantages. If you follow this advice, you’ll have a chance to build yourself up.

6. Talk it out

This is going to be the best way to help your hidden hurts fly away.

After a considerable reflection on your hidden hurts, you may realize that it isn’t a problem at all and set yourself free from these sufferings.

Many people think that money brings happiness, but there are many other things and amenities that can make you feel better. You just need to realize what makes you happier and set these points as your new life priorities. I believe that true and lasting satisfaction comes from within, because your inner world is the only source of both positive and negative feelings. If replace the chain of your negative thoughts by a positive one, you’ll be able to live every day with enthusiasm and vitality, since thoughts, words and work are the main points that produce and fill your life with new adventures, ups and downs. If you want to change something for better, you should realize that it’s the high time to take the advantage of both positive and negative things, which take place in your casual life. Check out a few smart ways to live a blissful life.

1. Don’t let your tongue create problems

Those people who lead a happy and blissful life tend to keep a still tongue in their heads when they feel that their interference can get them into trouble. I think it’s a wise decision, because careless words can sometimes intensify the problem. It’s desirable to avoid hateful speeches toward people around you, if you want to live in piece with the society. Plus, if you are a passionate person by nature, you should take this advice into consideration.

2. Accept your past

Your past experience is your treasure that gives you an opportunity to reach more goals in the future. Only wise and mature people tend to accept their past and treat it with respect, since it is an inevitable part of your present moment. If you accept your past experiences and find the lesson in the pain without regrets, you’ll have the chance to handle your present moment with confidence. Moreover, you can share your skills and experiences with your friends or just help someone who is going to face a similar situation in the future. Your past can boost your self-esteem and help you achieve bliss in your life.

3. Love your body

Nowadays it’s desirable to keep the body in a good condition. It requires you to listen to your body and choose foods that nourish it with sustained energy and that boost your mood. Your body is a real mechanism that works for you. That’s why you should supply it with natural minerals and vitamins. Healthy diets and sports will help you keep fit and turn back the aging clock. Moreover, you should try to satisfy your physical and mental needs in order to help all the systems of your body work well. Your mental state is also an extremely important point, because your overall physical well-being depends on it. Honor and love your body, as it’s your physical appearance.

4. Focus on your issues

I don’t know why, but people love to waste time making judgments and gossiping about others. Don’t waste your time on useless things, instead, turn your energy to resolve all your issues and give up bad habits. You should enjoy the freedom to live without unnecessary external problems. When you start minding your business, you’ll be able to enjoy more simple life pleasures.

5. Keep positive people around

The circle of contacts plays a significant role in your life, as you have common values and aims. If you surround yourself by critical and negative people, you’ll be always under the pressure of their unfortunate energy. Every person is unique and talented. You should always avoid people who don’t allow you to shine in all your magnificence. Find those who will notice this special ray of light in your soul and help you spread your wings and fly.

6. Practice kindness

Kindness is one of the best human traits and it has a great number of advantages. I really respect and value those people who are speaking with truth and compassion. You should understand that everything in this world is interconnected and your careless actions can hurt the others. It’s important to be kind in your attitude to the society. If you set kindness as your main life priority, you’ll live in harmony with this world and with yourself.

7. Give away money, time and energy without regrets

Unfortunately, many people are too greedy and they cannot give away money to those who are in big need. If you are not rich, you can share your time, energy and passion with other people. Try to do it generously, because those who give often receive more. Many of my friends have already realized that sharing precious gifts to humanity has become their main purpose of life. Some prefer to give everything to their kids, while others give a helping hand to people they don’t even know.
You have all chances to improve your life. Get rid of things that let you down. You should always remember that the one who keeps going will achieve all desired things. Have you ever tried to improve your life? What are your secrets on how to lead a blissful life?

lifestyle

Unfortunately, in these demanding times people focus mostly on their work. If you think only about your incomes and career development, you will lack time to enjoy family, hobbies and interests. You’ll have a risk to become emotionally poor and miserable person.
I think no one knows all the secrets on how to have a perfect life, but you should analyze things happening around and listen to your heart. Pay attention to the pieces of advice, given by wise and frank people, instead of feeling sorry for yourself and your failures. The only constant and true thing I believe in is that you should never stop or become disheartened, but if you keep working, you will overcome all difficulties and improve your life. Don’t fear to make some major changes in your outlook. I hope these tips will come you in handy.

1. Try to be more organized

Have you ever tried to become more organized? If you prefer to live just the way you currently do, then you should be ready to face the chaos in various aspects of your life. Good organization helps you to save time, money and nerves. When you’re not late, you don’t have to run around your house frantic looking for things you need. Furthermore, well-organized people are more efficient in what they are doing. They have everything organized according to their schedule. Plus, you will have more time to do things you enjoy.

2. Smile more often

Humor and positive vision of the world has always been the main secrets of happy and successful life. Wise people meet various life challenges with a smile on their faces. It’s better to start new things with a positive mood, because those who radiate negative energy are often greeted with negativity every time they do something. If you surround yourself with positive and encouraging friends, you will make a solid, positive progress in your life. Moreover, your magnificent smile can attract new and wonderful people, who will fill your life with bright colors.

3. Read books

Unfortunately, nowadays many young people find reading less popular than using electronic technologies. Reading has much more benefits because books encourage positive thinking and give your brain a different kind of workout. A collection of good classical books can serve as an engine to your personal development. Reading books broadens your horizons and makes you an all rounded person. Moreover, certain books can even change your outlook and boost your confidence in building strong and healthy relationships with society.

4. Accept guidance

I know many people who tend to act on their own and disdain guidance, because they don’t like to be underfoot. I think there’s no need to get offended when somebody teaches you or demands something from you. If you take the constructive criticism in cold blood, you’ll easily turn it into your advantage. Don’t get defensive as soon as you get negative characteristics or comments, but treat it as a temporary thing.

5. Do a little bit regularly

This tip requires you to be patient and persistent, if you want to succeed in something. You should realize that many long term goals cannot b reached in a moment. It may take you from two weeks to a few years to achieve your goals. You should try to find time each day to work on it slowly and steadily until you really improve in a certain field. Moreover, it’s better to take right decisions every day and these small positive changes of your life will lead to great results.

6. Travel

If you’ve never taken an opportunity to travel abroad, you might have no idea how wonderful the world around is. Traveling teaches you to be more tolerant and acknowledged about life. Just like Francis Bacon once said, “Travel in the younger sort, is a part of education, in the elder, a part of experience.” This unique activity develops your skills in communication and helps you overcome language barriers. Furthermore, traveling can help you get rid of negative thinking. It fills you with positive emotions and changes your outlook.

7. Accept the hurt

I understand that dealing with uncomfortable feelings is a challenging thing since you cannot avoid pain, you can only experience and accept it. What does not kill you makes you stronger. You should start every morning ready to face harsh realities of life and do your best to bring your dreams closer to reality in spite of your problems. Adequate perception of hurt makes you a mature and experienced person.
Life is given for you to struggle for your happiness. You should make plans, create schedules, motivate yourself to work for the quality life you deserve. Try to realize that money gives you a great number of opportunities, but doesn’t satisfy your mental needs. Only love, friendship and respect can improve your life.

Nowadays many young people resent the pieces of advice given by their grandparents. If you open your eyes and think broader, you’ll understand that these words are real pearls of wisdom. I’m sure that Google or other search engines won’t give you all valuable and frank information, but your grandparents are mega experienced people in your life who really want to help you become happy and avoid fatal mistakes. These two precious human beings are always ready to give you everything for you to reach your goals and make your cherished dreams come true. It is necessary to pay attention to their wise words.
Unfortunately, my dear grandparents are gone, but they are always alive in my heart. When I visit their tombs, my heart fills with sentimentalism and I recollect their pearls of wisdom with a tear in my eyes. Now their sacred words have become the main principles of my life. I wish I understood these truths earlier. Check out a few wise pieces of advice from grandparents.

1. Don’t burn bridges

This huge world is actually small and interconnected. Don’t burn bridges, no matter how tempted you might be, because you never know how many times you’ll have to cross the same river. My grandparents explained to me that I should always try to stay in good relations with people I know, because once I’ll have to cooperate with them again. Now I realize that this wonderful advice is the key to building a good reputation in society. Furthermore, it often happens that people you dislike or hate due to some failures from the past can help you more than those who seem to be your best friends.

2. The fire of burned bridges may light your way to success

My grandfather was a businessman and he had a bit different view on life. He believed that bad bridges need to be burned in order to get rid of negativity and enemies who keep you away from you happiness. I do agree that there’s no point in continuing a negative relationship once you’re out the door. If the person has already shown the true face, you should be sure that nothing will change for better. I can burn bridges when I feel that I’m ill-used or humbled by somebody, because I prefer to stick to my life moto, “I never sacrifice three things: my family, my heart and my dignity.” I truly believe that burned bridges will light my way to growth and happiness.

3. Keep money for rainy days

Life is an unpredictable thing and you never know when the sun will come out again to cover you with the sunshine. When I was young I couldn’t manage my money properly. Consequently, I had quarrels with my mum. My grandparents were the only people who gave a helping hand if necessary. Moreover, they taught me to keep some money for the rainy days in spite of stable incomes. Today, I realize that it’s impossible to disregard this old truth, especially if you have a family.

4. Laugh as much as possible

Nowadays smiles and laughter are the best medicine from stress and pain. I find humor unique because it’s absolutely free and you cannot buy a frank and funny laughter. You can easily improve your mood and help others to smile in return. It’s surprising, but laughter is infectious, because many people cannot resist the sound of a roaring laughter. Smiles often bind people together and bring their minds and bodies into a balance. Plus, humor lightens your burdens and increases intimacy and happiness. My grandpa always taught me to use laughter and smiles as the best diplomatic trick to handle difficult situations. I want to admit that it really works.

5. Love and enjoy your kids

Children are the most beautiful flowers of your life. My granny always told that I should spend more time with my kids since time flies really fast. That’s why it’s better to slow down, because your kids will never be as little as they are right this moment. Moreover, children are the reflection of their parents, so you should do your best to make your child an all-rounded and happy person. Try to treat these words seriously, because in the blink of an eye, your kids will have babies of their own. Enjoy the moment, life and your wonderful kids.

6. Crying

My dear grandma advised me to cry when I was disappointed about something. Once I’ve tried and now I realize that crying is an essential part of my mental well-being. Crying is not the sign of your weakness, but the ability to feel and experience different emotions. It releases stress hormones and toxins from your body. Furthermore, it gives relief to your heart and soul.

7. Do your favorite things

My grandparents always taught me to be brave enough to follow my dreams. I support the idea that the love to do things you adore cannot be forced. It’s desirable to find things you are passionate about and develop in this direction. My grandpa wanted to be a driver, but his parents forbade and forced him to continue their business. Consequently, he was one of the most successful businessmen in the state, but once he confessed that he would have been happier to work as a driver.
I hope these pearls of wisdom given by my (and maybe your) grandparents will help you somehow. Surely, every family has its own secrets and recipes on how to find happiness in this harsh world. Respect your family traditions and don’t forget about your grandparents who love you so much. What pearls of wisdom have you learned from your grandparents?

Sometimes it can feel like your money goes much quicker than it comes and you can’t save. In fact, every person can save money no matter how much they earn each month. It’s so easy and fun to spend money but it’s so hard to save them. You might think that you don’t have anything to save, however a little budgeting can go a long way. Check out a few crucial reasons you should start saving money.

1. Retirement

It’s extremely important to save up for retirement. Even if it’s just $15 a month, it’s much better than saving nothing. It’s hard to live when you don’t have any money for your retirement. If you are in your 20s and your salary is small, try to save at least $10 a month and they will definitely help you when you retire.

2. Emergencies

Saving for a rainy day can be as vital as saving for a certain goal. It’s difficult to save for emergencies because they’re unpredicted, but if you don’t have money when you need it, you can easily get yourself into debt. Again, even if it’s only $15-20 a month, they can help you when you really need them.

3. Debt

Another crucial reason to start saving money is to avoid debt. Nowadays many people have debts and you might think it’s normal. The truth is, it’s not normal. It’s easy to get into debts but hard to get out of them. I speak from personal experience. Start saving today to avoid debt tomorrow.

4. Entertainment

Perhaps you are surprised to see entertainment on the list of the most crucial reasons to save money, but you shouldn’t forget about fun. Entertainment can be expensive too. Going to dinner with your friends or going to the cinema is not cheap. You should also save up for your vacation. Sure, if you earn a lot of money each month, you can skip this reason. But if you don’t, make sure you save some cash for your entertainment.

5. Expensive things

Many of us think that only rich people can afford to buy expensive things, but it’s not true. Everyone can afford to purchase at least one expensive thing a year, if they save up for it. We often spend a lot of our hard-earned money on cheap things that we don’t actually need. Moreover, all those daily coffees at a local cafe and huge cable bills can drain your budget so that you won’t even notice it. If you’re dreaming about that expensive dress or laptop, start saving today and you’ll definitely buy it in a few months.

It’s hard to look great during the sultry summer weather. However, there are a few important summer beauty tips, which will help you to look beautiful all summer long. Whether you are on the beach or at work, try out these helpful hints to look your best no matter how humid or hot it gets this summer.

1. Wear sunscreen

Although it’s important to wear sunscreen every day and every season, a good quality sunscreen is a must during the summer season since it helps to protect your skin from sun damage that can cause aging and even skin cancer. Moreover, sunscreen keeps splotching and freckling at bay so you look gorgeous the whole day.

2. Use lighter beauty products

Summer is not a time for thick and creamy beauty products. When it gets hot, a thick foundation and eye shadow will slide right away. To avoid it, opt for lighter beauty products. Instead of a thick foundation use tinted moisturizer. A good quality lip gloss will complete your summer look.

3. Use waterproof beauty products

One of the most important summer beauty tips to follow is to use waterproof beauty products when you can. Consider using waterproof mascara, waterproof eye shadow, waterproof eyeliner and waterproof concealer, and your look will stay in place no matter whether you sweat or swim.

4. Revitalize your hair

The chlorine of the pool and the sun can really damage your hair. Luckily, there are a few quick and easy ways to revitalize your hair during the summer months. For blondes, rinsing the hair with baking soda and some baby shampoo is a proven way to revitalize the hair. If you are brunette, rinse your hair with white vinegar. For redheads, chamomile tea is the best option.

5. Try cooling beauty products

Cooling beauty products are not easy to find, but they are perfect for summer. Some cooling beauty products contain menthol to give your face, scalp or skin a cool blast and help you look refreshed. When the temperature soars, beauty products that contain palladium can also give you some relief.

6. Put your beauty products in the fridge

If you can’t afford or find cooling beauty products, place your regular stuff in the fridge for a while. However, be careful since some beauty products can lose their effectiveness if you leave them overnight. Just place your body lotion in the fridge for a couple of minutes before applying it and enjoy great results.

7. Use bronzer

Use a good quality bronzer on your face to look more gorgeous during the summer season. Bronzer will add the right touch of color and shine to your face and will give you a healthy glow, of course, if you don’t overdo it. If you don’t want to use bronzer, opt for a light apricot or peach blush.
Hot temperatures during the summer season can make it hard to keep your makeup in place and prevent it from melting. Hopefully, these tips will help you look your best this season. What are some summer beauty tips you have that you can share with us?

While it’s okay to feel guilty every now and then, there are certain things we shouldn’t feel guilty about in life. When you have too much guilt, you can’t live a happy life since feelings of guilt make you stressed, sad, frustrated and even depressed. It stops you from living your life to the fullest. Everyone deserves to be happy, so remember these important things you shouldn’t feel guilty about and life a happy life.

1. Feeling great about yourself

If you look in the mirror and you really like what you see, don’t feel guilty about it. If you look gorgeous in that dress, wear it as often as you want. Feeling great about yourself is one of the best feelings, which many women want to have. Every woman deserves to feel great about herself, because every woman is fabulous in her own way.

2. Looking after yourself

If you decline an invitation because you are not feeling good, there is no reason feel guilty. If you wake up and you are not feeling good, it’s okay to call in sick to school or work and make some time for yourself. Sure, you shouldn’t skip out on work or school every day, but your health and your happiness come first, so don’t feel guilty about looking after yourself.

3. Expressing your opinion

Expressing an opinion isn’t something you should feel guilty about. Your opinions deserve to be celebrated because they help make you unique in your own way. Just make sure you express your opinion in a considerate and polite way, so that you don’t hurt anyone.

4. Saying no

No matter what the situation is and who you are speaking to, you have the right to say no. You are not a superhuman and you can’t help everyone. Keep yourself happy and safe and always listen to your gut instinct. Never feel guilty for saying no, just do it politely.

5. Cutting someone out of your life

Removing toxic people from your life is certainly something you shouldn’t feel guilty about. I know, it’s hard to do, but you need to surround yourself with people who make you happy. Avoid people who bring you down and try to remove them from your life as soon as possible. Toxic people slow you down towards reaching your goals and they can even make your life miserable.

6. Having a mental illness

My cousin has a mental illness and he always feels guilty about it. If you have a mental illness too, you should never feel guilty about it because you can’t control it. You just need to realize that there’s nothing to feel guilty about. If some people make you feel guilty about having a mental illness, remove them from your life. Look after yourself and enjoy your life to the fullest. You deserve to be happy.

7. Pursuing your goals or dreams

If you want to live in a certain place, study a certain topic and follow a certain career path, go for it. If you want to wear certain clothes, do it. Make decisions for you and don’t feel guilty about pursuing your dreams and goals. Don’t think that you are selfish; it’s okay to do something for you every now and then.

8. Spending money

If you buy expensive things and others say that you spend too much money, don’t feel guilty about it, of course, if it’s your money. You work hard and save up, so why not buy that designer dress? Just make sure you don’t overspend each month. You don’t want to end up spending hundreds of dollars because you are bored or depressed.

9. Quitting a job you hate

While it’s hard to quit a job (even if you hate it), never feel guilty if you decide to leave your job. Being stuck in a job you hate isn’t something you want for yourself, since it can drain your energy, making you and the people you love unhappy. You only live once, so do what you really like.
People can make you feel guilty about everything, but you should never let anyone bring you down. While it’s good to feel guilty, there are certain times when guilt is really unnecessary. What things do you feel guilty about?

Houseplants are the most beautiful and natural décor to use at home. Today you can see pot flowers almost in every flat. For some people, growing plants is a hobby and they tend to add more wonderful and rare species to their homes. Certainly, there are lots of houseplants that need special care. So, if you are a busy person, you’d better choose those flowers that are easy to look after, otherwise they will fade soon. Here are a few magnificent and popular houseplants that you can try to grow at home. This is a simple way to make your home a green and pleasant place to live in.

1. Peace Lily

The Peace Lily is one of my favorite pot plants. First of all, it has a lovely and delicate white flower which you can admire every day. Moreover, this houseplant is beneficial for your health since it can neutralize formaldehyde and carbon monoxide that are found in the air. Just make sure you locate the plant in the place inaccessible to direct sun rays, or its leaves will get yellow. You don’t have to water the Peace Lily too often – do it only when the leaves are droopy.

 

2. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a unique houseplant that has plenty of useful properties. Perhaps this plant is not so gorgeous, but its benefits are evident. On the one hand, Aloe Vera is known to clean the air in your home. On the other hand, it is salubrious for your body, especially when it comes to cuts and scalds on your skin. Therefore, it is reasonable to keep a pot with Aloe Vera in the kitchen so that you can snick a sprout when you suddenly burn yourself. It will cool your skin in no time.

5. Rubber Tree

The Rubber Tree is a splendid plant and it will give an unforgettable look to any house. It has sleek and round leaves which will definitely draw everybody’s attention. One of the greatest reasons you should have the Rubber Tree at home is its ability to purify air. You should be aware that this houseplant can grow up to 8 feet. In case you don’t have enough space for a big plant, I would advise you to prune its stems. The Rubber Tree is a good plant for those who are not much experienced in growing houseplants. If you are just a beginner you may want to add it to your home.

6. English Ivy

English Ivy has become a traditional plant to grow in the garden or in the flat. In spite of the fact it looks more natural outside, English Ivy will be the main attraction of your house. When the pot is in your room, you’ll always keep an eye on it. Since this houseplant has long sprigs that hang down, I recommend you to sit it in a hanging basket or put a pot on the table.

7. Snake Plant

Mother-In-Law’s Tongue is another name of the Snake Plant that can be a perfect and simple addition to your home. This plant will adapt easily to any lighting conditions. Even in summer, the high temperature in the room will not harm your houseplant. The Snake Plant may sit in a dry soil without withering. Don’t worry if you can’t water it regularly.

Undoubtedly, there are so many reasons you should add more houseplants to your living space. Not only are they beautiful and elegant decoration for your house, but they are also good for your health as it is a well-known fact that plants clean the air. Do you have any of these houseplants at home? Which of them is your favorite one?

its all just fashion and style..

I quote them here.

1. I believe that the world exist in order to help us

Indeed, as one my friend told me:“You need to believe that the world revolves around you and you are center of universe. You are here right now, everything else is secondary, so why you lose your time and thinking about – everyone against you!” This world exist in order to help us.

2. Stop behaving yourself like a victim – don’t complain and don’t blame other people circumstance

This category of people who constantly complain and course they are harmful and they want to spoil your mood. Its only manners of communication. In fact, what is going on its just a circumstance without guilty .

3. Try to seek in everything a lesson or gift of fate

Simple Russian phrase – “All that is done, all to better”

4. Try to filter obsessive negative thoughts

Unfortunately, this problem is very difficult to cope, we are intuitively attracts negative.
One my friend lost his job, and can’t find a new. She start to think that she is not competent enough, she has little experience, she can’t pass job interview.
Indeed, at every job interview, she was so nervous and therefore not credible to potential employers.
Seeing her uncertainty and bad attitude, her boyfriend advised her to go on special course. And finally she start to believing in yourself! You can’t imagine but after two weeks she find a great new job and even have not graduated yet! She stopped thinking negatively!

5. Forgive offenses

Paying attention to negative thoughts, we are constantly digging in itself.
Neither for us nor for our loved ones. So forgive and go.

6. Start to think like that ”I will be happy when I have a husband ( children, money etc)

You must be happy right now and right here, perhaps, the most difficult , learn to enjoy small things. Present your smile other people and receive a smile in response.

Mentoring has always been a noble thing. It is a powerful personal development and empowerment tool for both a mentor and a mentee. Many mentors believe that time spent together with young and inexperienced person is an investment in their future. I think every person needs a mentor in order to become strong, experienced and emotionally stable and ready to overcome various life issues and barriers. If you once try to become a mentor, you will have a chance to change the world of another person for better. Just find the person that motivates you the most and inspire them to become professionals in different spheres. Here are 7 reasons for you to understand that being a mentor is a wonderful thing.

1. You can change your community

Nowadays millions of children or young adults slip from the right path and need a mentor. If you have such individuals in your community, you shouldn’t be indifferent to their lives and future. Why not become their mentor and help them change for better? If you are mentoring someone younger than you, realize that both of you can face the problem of a generation gap. Try to be on the same wave with your mentees. Soon you’ll forget about generation gap while communicating with that person.

2. Inspire people

A good mentor usually provides inspiration and teaches the mentees to follow the aim till they reach their goal. Such inspiration helps people get through tough times. The mentor teaches mentees to see possibilities by bringing to life qualities they aspire for themselves. Mentoring can also change your life. It seems to be a good feeling to know that you’re having a positive impact on your mentee’s life. William Arthur Ward once said, “The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

3. Wonderful experience

There are many advantages of being a mentor. One of the most significant advantages is that you get valuable experience working together with your mentees. Some people treat mentoring as a job while others treat it like a hobby. By sharing fun activities and overcoming different fears and other emotional barriers together, both mentors and mentees get new experiences. Young mentees can even share new and interesting ideas with their mentors. Furthermore, mentoring provides personal satisfaction. It’s an amazing feeling to help another person succeed.

4. New visions of life

The experience you get by mentoring can give you an opportunity to get a new understanding of life. If you want to be a successful mentor, you have to put yourself in your mentee’s place and try to look at life through their eyes. You won’t be able to help them, if you life in two different worlds. Every person has their strengths and accomplishments. Mentor’s task is to help the mentee use these accomplishments properly. Mentoring sometimes requires you to face and experience different life situations that help you become a mature and all-rounded person.

5. Impact on community

Mentors usually make a profound impact on the life of the mentee. If you help your mentee to attain developmental assets of life skills, there is a probability that your student will start a domino effect. You don’t have to be an extremely popular and rich person to make an impact in your community. It’s enough to be wise and friendly to teach somebody to move through frustrations and happily in this harsh world.

6. Change your life

My experience as a mentor encouraged me to think over my life and change it for better. Fortunately, my dream to help somebody and become a better person had come true. I have always been a little bit light-minded person, but this serious step made me feel the responsibility for my mentees, because I wanted to be a wonderful example for them. Consequently, I’ve become strong, responsible and self-confident person.

7. Do something meaningful and rewarding

I think every person has at least once reflected upon their life and their mission on this planet. Nowadays the best way to do something meaningful and rewarding is to become a mentor and help someone succeed in something. It has always been my dream to help somebody, especially when these people are in need of someone just to talk to. If you help somebody to start a new life, they will be grateful to you.

When you feel like your life is getting really boring, you should do all possible things to spice up your life. Perhaps you career bothers you with constant obstacles and chronic tension. Moreover, you can be oppressed and bored with love or marriage routine, thinking and dreaming about special and perfect romance. You may also be tired of your home atmosphere. Thus, try to find something that you are passionate about. It will help you refresh your mind and discover ways to bring the best into your life. Furthermore, if you want to get back in touch with your passions, you should get rid of negative habits, feelings and emotions, which make you feel sick and tired of everything in your life. Here are seven tips on how to break the routine and live happier.

1. Create a dream journal

Why not start a dream journal and write up at least one dream every day? When you dream, you imagine the desired reality and experience positive feelings and emotions. Psychologists say that dreaming is a direct line to your desires and passions. I’m sure that everyone, especially big dreamers, have a great amount of dreams and it’s easy to forget about them. I suggest taking a paper and writing up your dreams. Later, you’ll have a list of dreams and desires for you to know what you want and how to reach these goals and cherished ideas.

2. Do at least one extraordinary thing every day

In order to get out of a rut, you should do new things. It will help you shift your mindset and become more confident at the same time. Many people suffer from fear to do extraordinary things and deviate casual routine. If you visit a new grocery store or go to work by bus instead of taking the subway, you will feel new emotions and get new and interesting experience. Start at various hobbies and pastime activities. It will make you a more interesting and all-rounded person. Plus, you will have an opportunity to find new friends and make new and pleasant acquaintances.

3. A difficult conversation should take place

If you suffer from something and you cannot find the moment to face the problem and handle the situation, you will feel bored, burned out and bummed for ages. No matter how uncomfortable it may seem, but you should screw up your courage to have an unpleasant conversation and stand your ground. Concealed negative emotions are like a cancer that kills you from inside slowly. Make it a habit to find an opportunity to tell everything you dislike. Such approach will help you save and improve both your mental and physical well-being.

4. Write a list of gratitude

When you get chronically bored with something, your mind gets used to negative perception of the world. It is necessary to break the chain of negative thoughts by training your mind to notice the best. Just write down 5 things you like every day. This way, your mindset will change for the better in a quite short period of time. The gratitude list will open your eyes to the beauty of the world around you. Focusing on positive moments will develop the sense of gratitude.

5. Ask people you know to name your best qualities

Nowadays people are often depressed because of a boring and busy life. Accordingly, it is easy to lose confidence in your power and abilities. This mental state breeds uncertainty, fears and contradictions in your mind. You feel doubtful that you could change something for better. If you realize that you cannot overcome this state alone, then survey the people who know you well and who can name your best qualities. It’s a great pleasure to hear other people praising you and mentioning your advantages. It will boost your self-esteem and help you feel more confident in no time.

6. Make new friends

Making new friends and communication with interesting people are the best ways to fight boredom. If you don’t know how to meet a new person, you should get involved in activities that may bring you in contact with other like-minded personalities. Depending on your hobbies and preferences you can attend a night club, volunteer organizations or any event that can lead to making new friends. You should remember that lying on the sofa and suffering from boredom and depression can damage your health.

7. Mind your body

When I was bored with something, I usually preferred to relief stress by eating a pan of sponge-cakes. I noticed that it made me feel better, but damaged my body. Consequently, I realized that candies and junk food could play a bad trick with my both mental and physical well-being and I decided to give up this terrible habit. I started to work out in order to rid my mind of negative emotions and thoughts. Now I’m proud of myself because I’ve successfully reached my goal. I want you to know that this annoying habit is a real passion vampire. Try to replace eating junk food by doing your exercise every day.

When you often say “no” to new perspectives and opportunities, you give more room for unhappiness. Instead of working on improving yourself, you get stuck, lying to yourself, using a great number of excuses. Your subconsciousness gradually gets used to your fear and disability to do something successfully and independently without excuses. You should know that all negative words and things have the power to come true and keep you from your dreams.
I understand that it’s very difficult to change yourself because it requires a sufficient dose of confidence, clarity, commitment and courage. If you get rid of different excuses you’ll be able to grow both mentally and physically. It’s actually easier than you think, you just need to catch yourself in the act and replace your excuses with positive alternatives. Here are ten excuses that are keeping you from reaching your goals. I hope this article will help you start fighting excuses today.

1. I don’t have enough

Many people tend to complain about lack of time, money and opportunities to be happy. All these points are the basis for perfection for an average person. If you only concentrate on your problems, you will never succeed in anything. Rich and successful people always think positively and don’t fear to start new things and projects, because they are sure that they have more than enough time, knowledge and resources to live and develop.

2. I’m scared

Try to understand that fear is just a non-existent illusion that makes you limited and miserable. Take control of your mind and don’t let your imagination create frightening pictures in your head. If you cannot deal with fear, you should make attempts to leave your comfort zone. Choose things and activities you are afraid of and meet your fears face to face. You’d better tackle them swiftly, because it is impossible to run away from yourself. Just face your troubles no matter how powerful they may seem.

3. It’s very difficult

Life is a challenging thing. You should realize that every kind of success requires work. Wise people usually say, “If you are feeling tough, then you are on the ascent.” Don’t expect easy returns without doing hard work. You should be patient and persistent enough to put in the effort to succeed in something. Moreover, you will reap the rewards over the long-term with pleasure. It will inspire you to make your cherished dreams come true.

4. That’s just who I am

By all means, try not to focus on things you can’t do. If you stop being fixated, you will see new ways and perspectives where you can grow. Everyone has absolutely equal chances and rights to change themselves the way they would like. Unfortunately, many people are not ready to do the work required to change, that’s why they start looking for excuses to acquit their fears and failures. Try to embrace all habits and beliefs that will move you closer to your dreams.

5. I’ll take away from someone else

You may think that your happiness can affect the people you love. I’m sure that your dearest and nearest people will never be jealous about your success. If you become happy, you may inspire and help them make their dreams come true. Share your happiness with your friends and family and comfort them with your joy, because happiness is a gift to everyone.

6. I’m not ready to do something

Time flies very fast that’s why you should try to use all possible opportunities to become happier. Dalai Lama once said, “Happiness is not something readymade. It comes from your own actions.” It’s desirable to fight this uncertainty and do things that can make you successful. Uncertainty and fears have much in common because both of them keep you from your dreams. Wise people usually say that we shouldn’t be afraid of death and other terrible things, but fear the unlived life. Unfortunately, many opportunities are lost, because people find themselves not ready to take the responsibility to do something.

7. I’m not like others

Sure, you are not like others! You are unique and individual in this world. Every person is a dreamer that has more than enough to reach all desirable goals. If you often compare yourself to others, you will feel undeserving and inadequate.
Your friends’ success can give you a push to develop and move on in your favorite direction. There’s no doubt that you are capable to follow your dreams. Try to realize that it’s better to be special than just to be a part of the crowd.

8. I’ve never seen it done before

Many people fear to start doing something new since they have never seen it done before. It seems to be a good excuse, but you should find power to be persistent in your struggle for happiness. Rather than looking for reasons, try to be the first person who has done this innovation. It is better to try as much new and interesting things in life as possible than try nothing.

9. What other people will say about me?

I think, this excuse is the most annoying one. Live your life and forget about other people’s opinion. In any case, people will comment your deeds either positively or negatively. It is almost impossible to be approved and loved by everyone, because there are always many supporters and opponents of your actions. You should realize that a truly strong person doesn’t need the approval of others. Just follow your dreams and let this excuse go.

10. I’ve already tried to do it

If you have a dream to do something, you should be extremely persistent to face all the difficulties. The more mistakes you make the more experiences you gain and more mature you become. Paolo Coelho once said a wise thing, “When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have a sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.” Focus and analyze your mistakes and you will know what to do differently next time.
