1. "I followed my passion and intuition"
As the American businessman Steve Jobs said: “Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Your life is short, and you cannot afford to make wrong decisions. So, don't let others restrict your dreams. You must go through the experiences you intend to have, strive to achieve the goals you want to achieve, and follow your intuition.
2. "I said what I had to say"
There is an internal innate observer in the mind of each of us who watches our actions. It results from the ideas that family, friends, colleagues, managers, and society have planted in our minds. Its mission is to monitor your actions and ensure your good conduct and behavior.
Once you become accustomed to it, you will begin to count what is acceptable or unacceptable from its perspective as absolute facts. However, this is not right, as they are merely opinions, but they might become irrefutable facts that can overshadow your own opinions when you lose your attention.
It should be noted here that the mission of this observer is limited to observation. It cannot control you or act when you are alert and ready to confront it.
Misbehavior or foolishness is certainly completely unacceptable, but you must disclose what is on your mind when necessary. You may not have the opportunity to speak about it again, so beware of restricting yourself. You must speak the truth and reveal your true self.
3. "I did the necessary work"
There are two ways of living. The first requires that you go through your day without guidance, a clear goal, or setting an action plan so that your role is limited to responding to what is happening around you at every moment. As for the second option, it requires that you live each day consciously, create a detailed action plan to guide your life, make your own choices, and design your future.
A brilliant individual is distinguished from the ordinary by their ability to take actual steps that achieve progress toward their desired goal. It is a arduous process, but enduring the hardship of discipline when carrying out the necessary actions to achieve your desires is much easier than the pain of regret, disappointment, and sorrow of not fulfilling your dreams at the end of your life.
4. "I had an impact on the lives of others"
You must act as an individual whose actions affect the life around you. The law of life states that you reap what you sow. When a person leaves a good impact on someone's life, they must be rewarded similarly. Therefore, you must help others find happiness or ease their suffering. This act of help can change their lives and affect the world as a whole.
5. "I experienced true love"
Finding a partner or a friend does not require changing your personality to gain acceptance; rather, it requires sticking to it, being yourself, and finding someone who appreciates you for who you are. Therefore, relationships must be selected wisely. Loneliness is much better than the harmful company. There is no need to rush, as you are destined to find the right person at the right time and for the right reasons.
There are no coincidences in love nor absurd encounters. Everything happens for a good reason. One can only wait for love to come along in all its beauty while trying as hard as one can to grow as a person. When the time comes, and they are prepared to receive love, love will suddenly enter their life and change it forever.
6. "I am happy and grateful"
You do not need many things to achieve happiness, as it stems from within you and is directly related to your mindset. The way you perceive yourself and the world depends on your choices and habits, and it is completely subject to you. Your thinking mechanism also determines how you feel about yourself and your attitude towards life events. So, you have to choose happiness.
Choosing happiness is mainly about being grateful for the blessings in your life. British composer and singer Mick Jagger once said: “You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.” Accordingly, you must look at your life and appreciate the blessings you enjoy.
7. "I am proud of myself"
You are both your best friend and your own harshest critic. Regardless of other people's opinions, you are the only one involved in creating your self-image, which is critical to long-term happiness and satisfaction.
Being proud of oneself also means appreciating oneself. People who are proud of themselves live passionately, enjoy self-satisfaction, and set a positive example for others. It requires creating a vision of the person you want to become and making the necessary effort to achieve the required personal development.
Being proud of oneself does not entail boasting about one's greatness or perfection or claiming superiority over others. It is about realizing your unique true value and that you deserve love and acceptance. As a result, your self-esteem will be reinforced by observing and celebrating your achievements and identifying your positive traits. There is no need to be resentful when you find an anomalous trait in yourself; rather, you must take the initiative to correct it.
8. "I have achieved maximum personal development"
It is better to hold on to your personality, as you will not succeed in life when you try to claim what is not of your true nature. So, beware of wasting your unique traits trying to change your personality because strength, success, and contentment require your reconciliation with yourself.
The American singer and actress Judy Garland once said: “Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.” It is not reasonable to follow in the footsteps of others because you will not succeed unless you establish your own approach and stop being a follower. Your existential mission will not be achieved unless you act on your unique nature and follow your own approach.
To achieve the greatest possible development, one competes with their old self. The benefits of competing with others are minimal.
9. "I have forgiven those who have hurt me"
At some point in our lives, we will all be exposed to someone's harm and abuse, discover that our trust was misplaced, and experience pain as a result. It is normal to experience pain in these circumstances, but it may last for a long time because it may be difficult to erase the pain, which leads to additional problems.
These problems go beyond just being depressing, as relationships might end. Additionally, the person may neglect their job, family, and other significant aspects of their lives and refuse to try new things or get to know strangers. As a result, they may become trapped in a vicious cycle of pain and anger and become blind to the positive events in their lives.
Grudges restrain happiness. The solution lies in forgiveness and the elimination of hatred.
10. "I have nothing to regret in my life"
This is the final result of all the previous points. You should follow your passion, be true to yourself, take the necessary steps to achieve your dreams, say what needs to be said, be kind to others, provide help at every opportunity, love those who deserve your love, appreciate your relationships, be thankful for the blessings in your life, rejoice, celebrate your small and big accomplishments alike, learn from your mistakes, forgive, and let go of the things you cannot change.
