12 SIMPLE THINGS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE WAY YOU LIVE, LOVE AND WORK.
One of the most challenging parts of human existence is figuring out how to be. Our lives are riddled with endless questions, concerns, worries, aspirations, and goals: It's hard not to lose yourself in the midst of all of it.
Author George Orwell once said, "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection." Above all else, it's probably one of the most important reminders that we can give ourselves each day: Nothing is perfect or absolute, and if it were, it wouldn't be a truthful part of the human condition.
Though life is never without it's difficulties, and we may struggle to navigate through it all, use these 12 rules by Marc and Angel Chernoff to help guide you: They won't help you be a perfect human being, but they'll help you become more perfect at being human.

#1. Growth requires pain.
Be patient and tough, someday this pain will be useful to you. Those with the strength to succeed in the long run are the ones who lay a firm foundation of growth with the bricks that life has thrown at them. So dont be afraid to fall apart for a little while. Because when it happens, the situation will open an opportunity for you to grow and rebuild yourself into the brilliant person you are capable of being.

#2. You will learn as long as you live.
There is no stage of life that does not contain new lessons. As long as you live there will be something more to learn. And as long as you follow your heart and never stop learning, youll turn not older, but newer every day.

#3. There is a positive lesson in every life experience.
Dont forget to acknowledge the lesson, especially when things dont go your way. If you make a mistake that sets you back a little, or a business deal or a relationship doesnt work, it only means a new opportunity is out there waiting. And the lesson you just learned is the first step towards it.

#4. True beauty lives under the skin.
When you start to really know someone, most of their physical characteristics vanish in your mind. You begin to dwell in their energy, recognize their scent, and appreciate their wit. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. Thats why you cant fall in love with physical beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, or want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and your body for a little while, but not your heart in the long-term. And thats why, when you really connect with a persons inner self, most physical imperfections become irrelevant.

#5. Only you know what youre capable of.
Unless someone can look into the core of your heart, and see the degree of your passion, or look into the depths of your soul and see the extent of your will, then they have no business telling you what you can or cannot achieve. Because while they may know the odds, they do not know YOU, and what youre capable of. Thats something only you know.

#6. Your love creates your happiness.
The happiness you feel is in direct proportion to the love you give. When you love, you subconsciously strive to become better than you are. When you strive to become better than you are, everything around you becomes better too. During your youth, love will be your teacher; in your middle age, love will be your foundation; and in your old age, love will be your fondest memories and your greatest delight.
#7. You earn respect by being respectful.
Respect isnt something you can demand or manipulate by saying what you think people want to hear. You earn respect by listening, acknowledging feelings and treating others with the same respect you hope to get in return. Treat everyone with kindness and respect, even those who are rude to you not because they are nice, but because you are.

#8. Negativity poisons the soul.
Dont let needless drama and negativity stop you from being the best you can be. Avoid the drama, and focus on what truly matters. Life is insanely short and your time is precious, so dont waste your time on trivial matters. Let go of the things that are weighing you down. As you unclutter your life, you will slowly free yourself to answer the callings of your inner spirit.


#9. Your health is your life.
Regardless of the size and shape of your body, it is the greatest tool you will ever own. Without it, you wouldnt be alive. How you take care of it or fail to take care of it can make an enormous difference in the quality of your life. Exercise to be fit, not skinny. Eat to nourish your body. To truly be your best, you must give your body the fuel it needs. Toss the junk and fill your kitchen with fresh, whole foods. Run, swim, bike, walk sweat! Good health is essential for having the energy, stamina and outlook to tackle your goals and dreams.

#10. Letting go is part of moving on to something better.
You will not get what you truly deserve if youre too attached to the things youre supposed to let go of. Sometimes you love, and you struggle, and you learn, and you move on. And thats okay. You must be willing to let go of the life you planned for so you can enjoy the life that is waiting for you.

#11. This moment is a gift.
The truth is, your whole life has been leading up to this moment. Think about that for a second. Every single thing youve gone through in life, every high, every low, and everything in between, has led you to this moment right now. This moment is priceless, and its the only moment guaranteed to you. This moment is your life. Dont miss it.

#12. Your choices design your life.
You have a choice each and every single day. Choose to appreciate what you have. Choose to make time for yourself. Choose to do something that makes you smile. Choose to be excited. Choose to laugh at your own silliness. Choose to spend time with positive people. Choose to be persistent with your goals. Choose to try again and again. Within your choices lie all the tools and resources you need to design the life of your dreams, its just a matter of choosing wisely.
