- Be driven by ambition, not by greed. Ambition seeks to make you the best that you can be. Greed seeks to destroy you.
- Do not seek to become rich. Getting rich comes at a heavy price. You will encounter many challenges and sorrows. Seek to lead a fulfilling life that is financially comfortable.
- Throw away junk. Give it away to charity. Only keep what you need.
- Always keep a packed travel bag ready with a few essential belongings such as clothes, a towel, a toothbrush and toothpaste, bathing soap, a comb, and some cash. This comes in handy for an emergency when you have no time to pack.
- Don’t make a habit of walking with a lot of cash in your wallet.
- Never flash your wallet in a crowded place such a bus station, a cafeteria, bar or restaurant.
- Never brag about how much money you have or the kind of job you have. You may attract unnecessary enemies.
- Use public transport or a bicycle as much as possible.
- Avoid unnecessary time-wastage and gossip. They only make you poorer.
- Create extra time for yourself by waking up earlier and completing some of your daily chores early. You will create more time for yourself for your daily activities.
- Avoid sadness by meditating or praying when you wake up. This sets the tone for your day and prepares you spiritually and psychologically to face the challenges of the day.
- Connect with people and genuinely help people. They are your source of inspiration. Besides, you can’t do without them.
- Strive to become a happy person — not necessarily a successful person. Happiness can be extended to other people through laughter. The effect of this could cut your medical bill by half.
- Avoid unnecessary spending and instead, save or invest your money for your future or the future of your children.
- Avoid borrowing at any cost. Borrowing only makes you a slave to the lender. Besides, the debt may overflow and become a burden to your children.
- Only eat what your body needs. Eat quality — not quantity. Quantity only makes your body obese while increasing your medical bill. Besides, this can significantly reduce your monthly expenses.
- Strive to have quality education — not quality entertainment. This is how to get richer.
- Encourage your children to become financially literate by denying them money. Let them work for the money and when they grow they will know how to take care of money.
- Spend the most time with your family and loved ones, for these are the only people you can fall back to.
- Learn to be satisfied with the little you have and be grateful for it. For there is someone out there who is praying to get even that little you have.

20 Ways To Make Life Easier
14 Uncommon Habits That Contribute To Success
1. Sacrificing important things. In the end, we all only have 24 hours in a day. To reach success you have to sacrifice spending time on important things to be able to have more time to spend on the things that really matter. Check every week what you can give up to gain something better.
2. Believing what you want instead of what others tell you. Most beliefs people hold are not based on fact and are not true whatsoever. Get into the habit of believing that which empowers you and makes you feel amazing instead of the things that others tell you to believe. If it is not certain what is real, believe the thing that makes you feel better.
3. Getting motivated. Motivation is an emotion that doesn’t last, but that is of enormous help. Find things that motivate you every day.
4. Thinking less. Thought usually hinders us in our actions. When we think about things to do we tend to think about ways it can go wrong or reasons why we shouldn’t do something. Stop thinking and start doing.
5. Going to bed early. To be at the top of your game you need enough sleep. Yes, successful people get up somewhere between 4 and 6 in the morning, but they can only do that because they go to bed between 9 and 11 in the evening.
6. Keeping track of your progress. Even though you may believe that you know, unless you can actually see the evidence in front of you, you will never know for sure. Know exactly how you spend your time and how you are doing in your habits. If you are really motivated: Graph it!
7. Having a clean space. Keep your apartment, room, and/or house clean. Leave as little clutter as you can, and always take care of the mess right away. Anything that aids your motivation and makes you feel great is worth doing.
8. Speaking only positively about your future. Say things as if they already happened, or as if there is no way they will not happen. If you believe it is a fact that you will get an amazing life, you will act accordingly and receive it.
9. Gratitude. Thank as many things and people as you can. Most successful people come from a place where they had absolutely nothing, which is why they are grateful about every little thing that they have. This makes even the most simple things special and amazing.
10. Doing it all. Whenever you see tips online, or hear about some great strategies, do them all. You can never have enough of a good thing when it comes to reaching success.
11. Never giving up on what matters. If you want something, find a way to get it. Not because you necessarily want that thing that bad, but instead because you absolutely have to prove to yourself that you can get whatever you set your mind to.
12. Doing what you said you would no matter what. Success comes from not giving up halfway through. Everyone is on the way to be successful in what they do, but only 1% of all people actually see it through. Do what you said you would. No matter what!
13. Spending more money on yourself. Not on beauty products, clothes or video games, but instead on gathering information, finding connections and learning more through books. Spend money on the only thing that lasts: Yourself.
14. Stop caring. Not only about the people around you, but also about whether or not you will accomplish your goal. The less you care about it, the less stress you will experience when you work, which will make your work more fun and you will get to success much faster than you thought you could. Stop chasing it and you will get it.
10 Best Ways To Improve Life
- Laughing More - The world has way too little laughter. Make it a daily habit to laugh out loud, to truly lol, once at least.
- Reading Books - 1 Book a Month at minimum, 4 if you want to quickly live a better life. Self-Improvement Books about specific things you want to add to your life are a great start.
- Reaching Out First - If you want to have more fun with friends then you plan the events. Don’t wait for others to get you to the life you want and take the first step yourself as often as you want to.
- Exercising Regularly - 4–6 days a week with at least 1–2 days of cardio.
- Going Outside - Nature, Fresh Air, and calm, relaxing breezes are sometimes all you need to take the edge of a stressful day.
- Scheduling your Day - Unconscious Time is Waste Time. Conscious Time is Not. Regret only comes from the empty spaces in your calendar.
- Meditating - Too few people nowadays look inward for fulfillment and try to fill their day with distractions. Learn who you are. Take 10 Minutes every day to be with yourself.
- Being Charitable - Give what you can. Ideally so much that you are just very slightly uncomfortable doing it, for that is where you find the most growth & reward.
- Showing Courage - It is often said that you regret more of what you didn’t do than what you did do. Show enough Courage in your Life to let these moments be as few as possible.
- Consciously Training Your Mind - How you talk about yourself and what you think each day are a large part of what makes up your world. Train this to be positive, supportive and empowering. Write down empowering thoughts and repeat them twice a day. Find proof of these thoughts in your memories and you will strengthen yourself even more.
- Being More Active - In both life and relationships, try to take the active role. Fill your days with more events and places-to-be, and add activities to all your relationships. The more you do the more you gain from life. Limit your time sitting alone at home.
- Saying ‘No’ - If it is not a clear, unequivocal ‘Yes’ it defaults to a ‘No’. Say this word more often and make your own plans.
- Saying ‘Yes’ - Try yourself at more things that scare you, that make you uncomfortable or that you know are good for you. Give yourself the courage to exit your comfort zone; it is where most of the magic happens.
- Being Vulnerable with Others - Yes, this can bite you in the butt, but most of the time it will be the gateway to a much deeper relationship or friendship. Be brave; you’ll be rewarded with more than you will loose.
- Experience More - Spend your Money on things that give you experiences rather than the newest, hottest product that will be outdated again in a months time. For memories, unlike things, last a lifetime.
