Tips on how to enjoy and keep enjoying life to the fullest

In this modern world we are in where the lifestyle had changed drastically, life has changed too. People seem to be too busy to enjoy the real essence of life. Making money and gaining power seems to be the name of the game and you could rarely see people who are really enjoying life. The problem in this world of ours is that people are all too busy making money and thinking of how to obtain money in order to enjoy life and taste the luxuries that life could offer that very few have time to look around and see the small things that could make a difference in life. The real things that could make life happy are often missed by a lot of people because each one of us is too engrossed setting goals to make life more comfortable.
Have you ever asked yourself if life is that bad? Why people are all too busy dreaming of all the things that money could buy and forgetting to pay attention to the simple things in life that makes one happy? Perhaps it is not too much to ask a few minutes from you to read this simple article of mine because I had been raised from a poor family, grew up a poor school girl and is still striving hard to make ends meet in this time of crisis yet I could laugh aloud and could tell this world that I am happy and content with what I am doing now.
I am a teacher who teaches little kids in a little preschool owned by my friend. Everyday, the kids are my companion and they make me feel different everyday because they are the people who make me see what life really is. Their simple actuations, there simple smiles and the laughter that they create everyday as I teach them and play with them are the spices that make my life happy and interesting. Never mind if they are sometimes naughty, never mind if they create too much noise at times, they make a difference in the monotony of life. As I watch them at play, I always think of how life could have been better and fun if people always look at the simple things in life.
Life could be happier with these 8 simple tips:
1.  Be simple and humble
It is simplicity that makes life happier and more interesting. The fact that this world is too complex does not mean that people have to go with the present life trends. Being simple does not mean depriving oneself from the important things around but it means that you have to try to make your life simple so that you can enjoy the simple things in life. You have to look around and appreciate the small things that could make life happy. Don’t fly too high because if you fall down it could hurt you real bad.
2.   Have time to smile and laugh
The best antidote to a hectic and stressful life is a smile and a good laugh. Make sure that you have time to smile and better still laugh aloud with your family and friends. If you smile and laugh, people will join you but if you cry, you cry alone. Who wants to be alone?

Make a point to stay in the present moment. Avoid thinking about your past and your future. You have all your appointments scheduled so you will not miss anything. Right now, take advantage of the gift of the present moment. Be here, fully present at 100%--mind and body.

Pay close attention to your five senses today. When you taste something really taste it. Feel its texture on your tongue. Is it juicy or dry? Does it have a fragrance? What do you smell in the air? How does the sidewalk or carpeting feel under your feet? Really notice what you sense when you carefully run your fingers over items you usually handle quickly with no thought. Notice the contours, firmness-all the details that you never took the time to notice before.

We focus on failures

Do you know what the main difference is between those who succeed in life and those who fail to accomplish their goals? The number of times people fail. Successful people have many more failures in their lives because it’s the risks and the failed attempts that eventually lead to the knowledge, skills and opportunities that create success.
In reality, there is no such thing as failure, only feedback. We can only fail if we stop trying. When we see things as failures, we feel defeated and it affects our confidence and self esteem. The next time you experience a setback or failure, don’t allow your concept of failing to sabotage your efforts. Shift your perspective and decide to see the lessons in your experience. Lessons are positive—they provide information and the necessary feedback to improve and course-correct.
