For A Successful Happy Life

[humble_kaur]

Fateh,

I have seen many of the sangat on this forum post that they don't know where to start by improving their life, they are unsure of things, a lot are suffering from 'depression'. Questions come up on how we can become closer to living a Sikhi Jeevan. It won't come without devotion. The more you devote yourself to something, the easier it becomes. Remember there is no such thing as a free lunch!

I have adopted ten things in my life that have helped me to become an overall better person. We should all strive to live a virtuous life, but, we are all living in this material world, so we have to adapt to it as well. Hopefully this will help you as much as it has helped me. (note: order is not relevant to importance)

FOR A SUCCESSFUL HAPPY LIFE

1. Practice morality, humility and compassion.

2. Manage your mind.

3. Manage your time.

4. Manage your money.

5. Look after your health.

6. Make conscious decisions.

7. Stay focused to your life goals.

8. Patience and perseverance are crucial for success.

9. God helps those who help themselves and others.

10. Do not harm or hurt others physically, mentally or financially.

Please don't thank me. It is Waheguru Ji's kirpa. Thank Him continuously. Without Him, I am nothing. Praise Waheguru Ji continuously because He is the only one we can all learn from.

Nahi Bhenji,

I actually was having difficulty trying to raise my spiritual level. I met an Uncle Ji, who teaches about spirituality and who I found very inspiring. He had given me this guideline. He said if you can manage this in your life, not only will you become a better person spiritually, but also become closer to Waheguru Ji. I discussed with him how youth these days, such as myself, are confused about Sikhi Jeevan, how can they obtain it? How can they increase their spirituality? So, he gave me this guideline to follow each day, and told me to share it with others.

Along with my nitnem, I follow this guideline. Ever since I have implemented it into my life, I can see a difference. No day really seems to go to waste, it becomes productive. Many have already reached the stage of humbleness, compassion, and sewa, but there are a few that haven't. So give it a try!!!
