1. Everyone is running a race to gain money

We all have set up certain rules for the regulation of the society. The main ingredient of this system is money. Money buys us basic necessities and we work day after day to earn our wages. But what is money made of? Paper. We all trade our lives to have a paper that is more valuable than us. In turn, hindering the little time we get to think out from our busy schedules. There is a saying that “time is money’”, is it really so?

2. Judging others for the same activities we do

All of us learn from experience and sometimes we make some miscalculations. Humans are not perfect so it is obvious that we will make errors. Instead of correcting ourselves, we tend to judge other people for the same mistakes that we did. This should be rectified. We should help each other to become better human beings and concentrate on improving ourselves by learning from those errors of judgement, loving oneself and others is essential.

3. Creating memories rather than timelines

Life is an album of bitter-sweet memories that should be cherished. We do not remember anything by dates or time, but we recall moments. One should concentrate on creating various beautiful memories to fill one’s life.

4. Your mind is not you

We assume that what we think is what we are. But that is not the case. Our mind is definitely a major part of our existence but your mind cannot work without you. You are an amalgamation of your emotions, thoughts, kindness and desires. Your mind is not reduced to a puny voice in your head. You are made of a spirit and you are a pure creation. Humans are the most intelligent and advanced creations of nature. Try to see yourself from a different perspective.

7. Feelings make us partial

Emotions are a part of our mind and they make us human. But sometimes these feelings make us partial towards some aspects of life. We cannot hide or ignore them, so the best way to rectify this is to notice them and accept their presence.

8. Don’t believe what people say about you

We always have perceptions about each other. No one is an open book so we should not judge a book by its cover. No one knows the real you apart from yourself, so love yourself and improve everyday.

9. Try and never give up
