Some of you may already know some of this, but i'm sure you stand to learn more by reading this post. So please, read on.

Life is filled with Ups and Downs, Joy and Sorrow, Pleasant surprises and disappointments. To live a life of purpose, there are some concepts you need to learn and live by. These have nothing to do with religion or spirituality. They are just basic tips learned from real life experiences. In other to avoid making some of the mistakes I and millions of others have made and are still making, I will be sharing some of the concepts you need to understand to achieve your dreams and live a fulfilling life.

1. Loving someone should not mean losing YOU – True love empowers you, it doesn’t erase you. True love allows human beings to build amazing things, by working together through passion, kindness, and good will. So be strong enough to stand alone, be yourself enough to stand apart, but be wise enough to share your love and stand together when the time comes.

2. Getting even doesn’t help you get ahead – You will never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with them. Sometimes we don’t forgive people because they deserve it. We forgive them because they need it, because we need it, and because we cannot move forward without it. "To forgive is to rediscover the inner peace and purpose that at first you thought someone took away when they betrayed you."

3. You attract what you show to the world – So if you want it, reflect it. Happiness, freedom, and peace of mind are always attained by giving them out to others without expectation. "The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are eventually helped."[/b] You have two hands; one to help yourself, the second to help those around you.


4. Failure is success when you learn from it – Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want. Obstacles can’t stop you. Problems can’t stop you. Other people can’t stop you. These barriers are temporary – they come and go. Which is why, over the course of a lifetime, the only barrier that can truly stop you, is YOU. So don’t give up. Sometimes you have to journey through hell on Earth to find heaven on Earth.

5. You are not what you have done, but what you have overcome.– All the hardships. All the mistakes. All the rejections. All the pain. All the times you questioned why. All of these things have given birth to the wisdom and strength that will help you shine your light on the world, even in the darkest of hours.

6. Your past can only hurt you today if you let it – Do not pay any attention to what the past whispers if all it’s doing is bad-mouthing what today has to offer. There are times when you need to release the bitterness and grab a firm hold of happiness, without permission and without reason. The only way to get over the past is to leave it behind. If you spend your time re-living moments that are gone forever, you might miss the special moments that are yet to come.

7. It’s never too late to become the person you are capable of being – Repeat after me: “I AM FREE.” You can fulfill your life's purpose by starting here, in this moment. "The purpose of life is not to simply be happy, but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to make some kind of difference that you have lived at all." Remember, life is constant change, but growth is optional. Choose wisely, starting now.
