Saw this posted on our work portal, and thought it was worth sharing. How do you make your life better today than it was yesterday?

Health
- Drink plenty of water.
- Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
- Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants. Eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
- Live with the 3 E's—energy, enthusiasm, and empathy.
- Make time to pray or meditate.
- Play more games.
- Read more books than you did in 2010.
- Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
- Sleep for 7 hours.
- Take a 10-30 minute walk daily. And while you walk, smile.
Personality
- Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
- Don't have negative thoughts over things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present moment.
- Don't overdo. Keep your limits.
- Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.
- Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
- Dream more while you are awake.
- Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
- Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
- Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
- Make peace with your past, so it doesn't spoil the present.
- No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
- Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
- Smile and laugh more.
- You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Society
- Call your family often.
- Each day give something good to others.
- Forgive everyone for everything.
- Spend time with people older than 70 and younger than 6.
- Try to make at least three people smile each day.
- What other people think of you is none of your business.
- Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
Life
- Do the right thing!
- Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful, or joyful.
- No matter how good or bad a situation is, it will change.
- No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
- The best is yet to come.
- When you awake alive in the morning—be thankful for the day.
- Your inner most is always happy. So, be happy.
