Life rules you follow to avoid creating baggage for yourself?

[joniboini]

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.

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.
