Life is kind of tricky stuff, you live and learn and often these lessons can be costly so it's better to learn from other people than to make mistakes yourself.
So as the title goes, is there any rules you follow to avoid creating baggage for yourself?
I will start with mine,
"as long as you don't hurt/harm anyone, all means are fine".
What about you?
-
What about you?
My basic principles would be.
Clear yourself into those debts, and live up your life according into your needs.
Same goes with those lines above you've said on which its a good principle that you do have.
Life challenges are inevitable on which whenever you are really that facing up such situations then there's always a solution.
You cant be perfect even if it means that you are trying out to copy someones experience but it wont be perfect.
-
live according to your abilities, don't look up too often, try looking down, there are still many people who are more difficult than us, even though we only live once, we as individuals should have principles so that we don't experience hardship throughout life
-
Don't live at anyone mercy about your life.
Watch before you can lean on someone because not everyone will have your back when you fall.
What goes around comes around and your word is your bond
-
Living a life of principle is the key and is the distinguishing factor in life so what ever thing you do should be based on principle because what brings greatness to yo is a function of how principled you are so for me one rule i take seriously in life is discipline
-
"as long as you don't hurt/harm anyone, all means are fine".
Tricky indeed, because what you think may not harm someone may be harming someone, and you may never know.
One of the best life rules is "Keep a small circle."
-
"Stop expecting people to be as good as you", well we often thinks that we know the people who we are close with until they show their real face so let's not just think they are any good as we are. I didn't mean they are bad but having no expectations will avoid the disappointment in our life that's really important to not having any baggage that is bad for our mental as well as physical health.
-
I think I have so many quotes that I like, but "Look at the mirror first" is probably one of my favorites. It tells us to do self-introspection whenever we can before we judge others. I think it helps me avoid stubbornness, arrogance, and other negative traits that limit me. It's really hard to apply and do consistently since we need to be aware of every bias, personal value, sociological construct, and so on. Not to mention how social media encourages people to jump to conclusions easily.

Well, true but I guess unintentional harm caused can be excused.

Yeah, that's good one. No expectation, no disappointment.
Edit: typo

i tell myself that things will always work out or that pieces will always fall into their places
it’s really hard to see past all the hardships we currently experience now which might distract us from our future goals over the long term so i tend to not think that this will be the end of it all and instead remain wishful that there’s better days ahead

Yeah, life’s full of lessons, and some mistakes can be too costly to make yourself. Learning from others is definitely the smart move. For me, my rule is simple: “Think before you act, because every action has consequences.” It helps me avoid regrets and unnecessary problems.

Mistakes sometimes can be costly but mistakes are a very good way to learn if you are to go far in life because one teacher that life has placed around us always to teach us is mistakes anyone you see that has risen to a point in life in life is someone who has learnt from their mistakes so mistakes is an essential part of life that should not be joked with because it gives us the opportunity to learn and correct our self
-
Learning from people may not reflect in your life because everyone lives according to their own rules. Moreover, mistakes must be made because the more mistakes you make, the more you will learn and the more powerful experiences you will gain. Also show by your actions that you are committed to making amends and preventing similar situations in the future. So if you're struggling with the situation then consider talking to a trusted friend or counselor to process your feelings. We want to get out of thinking and thinking that everything will end.

"as long as you don't hurt/harm anyone, all means are fine".
What about you?
That’s the law of Karma. There are natural laws that are set in place to maintain order and balance in the world. And the rule as you call it is called the law of karma, and I believe you may have heard about it already. It states that whatever measure you use on others, the same measure will be used on you. Every action you do to others, be it good or evil, it’ll be returned to you in the future, and that’s why it’s good to do more good because you’ll also receive more good, you do more evil to others. You’ll also receive more evil from others too.
I also believe and live by this law too.

Mistakes or errors are common on which this is always been part of our lives and this is something inevitable on which you wont really be having any choice but to accept it out and would really be making adjustments accordingly. Yes, it could really be costly but it doesnt mean that you would really be just that letting it to happen again. It might do but it would be lesser since you do already have that experience and we do know that learning is a never ending thing on which as long you've been dealing up with something then you would really be that continuing to learn up until you do comes into a point that you do become that knowledgeable and much more better person on which the more experience you do have then the better you do handle good decisions accordingly.

It helps that people can learn from others though (as mentioned by OP). It's not like you have to get scammed to learn that scammers will do this or that. Sadly not everyone realizes how important that is and blames others for not telling them they're dealing with a scam, even though they can be at fault too. The problem usually lies in finding the right place to learn. I think having a decent standard should help and this is what I follow too. For example, if someone can't prove anything it's better to ignore them. A broken clock can show the right time anyway so listening to them 24/7 is costly too.

Nobody knows tomorrow, that's the reason why you should treat the people you meet on your way to the top nicely and accordingly because you might meet them on your way down, they will be the ones to come for when you are financially down
-
That's a good mantra you have there OP and I believe with almost the same thing and that's about doing good to others so that they will reciprocate and do also good to you. It is the reason why even some of the things we receive are bad, we still need to remain good to the others because fate will still reward us with something that we don't have to be worried with. So, if we live by the book then the book shall reward us as well with good.

Yeah, that's a good way to live. Doing good to others can come back to you in ways you don’t expect. Even if some people don’t return the kindness, life has a way of balancing things out. Just stay true to yourself, and good things will come your way eventually.

Possible but you shouldnt really be expecting but i do agree into the words that you should really be nice and good into other people because you wont know on who would really be the ones will be helping you at the time that you are in need. Lets just accept the fact that even our relatives or ouw own family doesnt really give out any assurance that they would really be the ones that could help us out at the moment that we are on tough situation in life. They are even the main ones who would really be neglecting out at the time that shit things happen. This is why we cant be able to make ourselves that be assuring or having that confidence that we can be able to seek help at the time that it do happens. So better dont expect anything or anticipate.

In my opinion, "being in debt" is very burdensome to oneself because we are forced to continue looking for money every day to be able to pay off debts and in the process sometimes we always face financial difficulties, for example if you are in debt to open a business and then your business is quiet but you have to collect money every day, it is very burdensome on the mind, but if we open a business without debt, we will not be too burdened, at least enough for daily needs.

I am not fan of doing good to others, I mean world can bother with itself but I prefer to not harm others, following later keeps the mind sane enough.

"Cut your coat according to your size" , and stop looking onto people that are above you, talk less of comparing yourself to them, because that will only make you ungrateful, and desire for more. Look onto people that are below you/ lesser than you, and you will forever be grateful with what you have and you will feel contented. Always know that in life, just as you are wishing to be like someone who is greater than you, someone is also wishing to be like you, because they see that you are greater than them. Don't try to live beyond your means.

That's a good one but on comparison I always found it to be wrong whether it be with better or lesser person. Also, one thing I observed in myself is that the more you keep yourself aloof from society and also from social media on Internet the less you will be comparing yourself.

I kind of agree with you because one thing that I have been able to learn from life itself is that your current position that you are praying to leave is actually somebody's prayer point so your ability to appreciate your current position is something that people should do because alot of people are always looking at those who are ahead of them with out looking inward to see what you have been able to achieve on your own
-
Give and do good with a clear understanding of never expecting anything in return and never allow anyone take your kindness for granted. Be mean when you ought to and also be jovial when it is necessary so that you would not be taken for a fool.

You are right, I feel restless constantly trying to achieve 'next' thing, and rarely stop and enjoy what I have already have.

I have been mean when I thought I was being taken for granted, but soon after I felt bad what I said lol

It depends on kind of situation you were when such incidence occurred, you can not keep mute in an embarrassing situation and allow people humiliate you just like that. I just to be the calm and quiet type but when I noticed my patience was taken for granted, I had to be vocal and it helped me slot as those unnecessary problems stopped coming my way. Do not feel bad, if that is what was required of you to do to save yourself of unwanted issues you will have no option than doing it to protect yourself against manipulators and emotional blackmailers.

"Stop expecting people to be as good as you", well we often thinks that we know the people who we are close with until they show their real face so let's not just think they are any good as we are. I didn't mean they are bad but having no expectations will avoid the disappointment in our life that's really important to not having any baggage that is bad for our mental as well as physical health.
Yeah, you are absolutely right, we just have to live our best without expecting too much from people. Just as this saying goes’ Not all that glitters is gold’ we should try as much as we can to avoid problems, anything that will affect our mental health just as said and also not do more than ourselves or more than what we earn just because someone else is living a costly lifestyle doesn’t guarantee us to also live like that, that is why I said we should try and live rightly because life itself isn’t an easy one.

Just go with the flow and just act out accordingly on which it wont really be that having that condition or situation on which you are really that making yourself that being delusional or trying out to copy others without even thinking that different situations or conditions on which you might be able to encounter. Life is short, the best thing to do is to live most out of it and dont stress yourself into things. Life challenges and problems are normal and come to think that in every problems theres comes a solution on which this should really be put up into your mind because on the moment that you do find yourself that being get stressed too much and really that thinking that life do sucks and there's no solution then it wont really be just that affecting your mentality but also int could affect your health when things get worst.

That is why it’s good to take things easy and smoothly, because you don’t know what tomorrow holds, one don’t have to do so. We don’t need to over stress ourselves with what won’t last forever.
Problems of this life doesn’t finish, likewise the solutions, we will always get the solution to every problem we might encounter but in as much there always a solution to any problems we encounter doesn’t mean we intentionally land ourselves to problems, we should learn to do things carefully and calmly.
-
I take life as a simple aboard for us all, we have to be our brothers keeper, make it a better place for a living, in anything we do in life, we should have a conscience of whether it is good or bad, this will direct us properly by doing what is right form wrong, i don't also overstress myself for nothing, thinking and pilling up pressure for what is nothing, because what goes around also comes around in this same life.

There are a lot of principles i have lived with, things i have learnt over the years and they have helped shape me into the man i am today. I obviously cannot write them all, but one very important one is to avoid procrastination, because why do it tomorrow when you can do it today.

I find myself procrastinating a lot, because of pressure of plenty todos remaining in my list, and it makes me feel worse than just doing whatever I were to do.

I used to be there too, procrastination makes you feel bad about yourself. One way to help is to plan your day once you wake up, from the most to least important task, so even if you don't get to do the least important ones, it would not bother you much.
