how to live your life well

The art of living well is to make your life an expression of who you are, what you believe, and your hopes, dreams and desires. See how to make your life a work of art:

• Make each moment count and live it to the fullest. When you get up in the morning decide to welcome all the challenges and delights each day brings. Be aware that everything you experience contributes to your knowledge, enjoyment and understanding of life. Every activity can have meaning and purpose and by acknowledging and recognizing it, you enrich your participation in it.
• Express yourself and create the life you want. You are unique. Express your individuality and share your observations and insights with others. Make your surroundings a comfortable reflection of that individuality and uniqueness.
• Establish an open, accepting and appreciative mindset. Prepare yourself for whatever comes your way. When you maintain an open, accepting attitude life actually goes more smoothly and without incident.
•  Be who you are and go after what you want. Be comfortable with yourself and don’t be afraid to go after what you want. So many opportunities are missed out of fear of failure and an unwillingness to take risks or put yourself on the line. Life is too short to not give your best shot at something. Strive to reach your potential. The worst that can happen is you learn a valuable lesson.
• Have a solid foundation balanced with relationships with family, friends and the community. We are social beings who need each other for comfort, support and interaction. It’s important to cultivate and value all of our relationships and engage in activities that promote good will and make the community, the country and ultimately the world a better place.
