"Each day of your life is meaningful but without focus you will end up being used up by time instead of you using it."

There are plenty of reasons why we are laid back at times. Situations, family, friends, finances and relationships play as the fundamental factors of living.
I've been one of these people who experienced the downfall in life. When it's almost helpless. But it was my hope that pursued me.
My life is sweet again. It requires work and patience. You need focus in achieving happiness.
1. Appreciation
Appreciate the things you already have and enjoy them. Give thanks to the people who has been a part of your success, your day's activity, their time, their help and anything that are in your present time. Stop complaining for not having the things you don't have. When you learn to appreciate, you will feel within yourself that you're happy even if there's no one else to make you laugh. You're happy because you appreciate the person you are.
2. Love
Your family is number one then your friends. You're inspired by these two groups of people all your life. Do you do the same? In your heart, they're already embedded and no one can ever take that away from you. You strive for them as you do to yourself. Make a balance attention on both sides. More time on your family and lesser with friends. They have families too, remember?
Nurture your relationships by spending quality time with loved ones. By listening and appreciating you are helping them see themselves with a positive perspective. Love without expecting. Your undivided time and attention would be most graced and treasured for the rest of your life.
3. Prioritization
Work before pleasure, I believe that. Don't you? Spend your day doing your most prioritized work before starting another one. I tried doing a multiple task, I believe everybody does, when I was cooking and at the same time clicking my game gasp! I was horrified by the burning smell coming from the kitchen.
Make a list of your daily schedule. Even though all of them are important, do first thing first. One thing at a time. This can be at work, at home or traveling plans.
4. Planning
Planning is a raw format of your to-do-list. Please be aware that things can always be changed. It's easier because you know what to prioritize. There's just something about planning like - plan A, B and C. What are they?
Plan A is your prioritized matter, needed first thing by your boss, a schedule to book for a flight or hotel accommodation for a pleasure trip.
Plan B is the back up plan if something goes wrong with plan A, you can switch to plan B so as not to disappoint people who are involved in your first plan. Considering the weather, availability of the place, flight schedules or health.
Plan C is the last option if things go worse and nothing in plan A and B are possible. At least, even if you're badly disappointed, plan C can save your prioritized schedules by taking the least. Here, everybody should know what happened and why. You can let them choose whether they're still in or out. Worst, is an extreme apology to your boss for not accomplishing your project.
Basically, we all have a timetable to follow. Without a good plan, you may not be able to accomplish a productive work.
5. Growth
Not in size or age. It's how you live with emotional, spiritual and intellectual maturity. There had been too many divorces, separated couples, broken friendships and broken families because of this lack of growth.
Growth is when you start asking yourself the question "WHY?". It means, the little voice inside you is starting to escape from the old you who never changed for good. When you start to look at yourself in the mirror and tearfully asking, "why is this happening to me all the time?"
It's because you're not allowing the other dimension of life which is the other side of your world. You're stuck doing the same things over and over again for the last ten years. And if someone tells you what wrong you're doing, you get mad and deny that fact. You must be grateful that someone is trying to help you see yourself.
Growing is learning, accepting your faults, forgiving yourself and others, reaching for a good change and living a life with positive thoughts. Leave your past, MOVE ON.
6. Commitment
Respect and trust are two most important validity we can get from people if we are committed to our words. Words are easily spoken in the form of a promise, but in the end so many had broken hearts.
First, you have to commit to yourself that you are doing this because it's the right thing to do, not only for yourself but others too. Your decisions and actions reflect your self-respect as you do your plans.
Commitment is a guaranteed word put into action with the same purpose and beneficial to others. This is the only way you can get respect and trust from people.
Stay as sweet as you are!
