B. THE SECRET POWER OF VITALITY

 

Vital people exude spirit, gusto and youth. Vital people wake us up. We are attracted to them like moths to a light. We feel better, happier and more hopeful, just being around them. We describe them as positive, energetic, comfortable with themselves, centered, curious, uplifting, optimistic and resilient. They describe themselves, as normal and happy, and wonder why other people are not having as much fun.

Vital people seem to defy age. Think about the “Vital” people you know. They are happy, playful and youthful. They are physically healthy and almost always radiant. Their lives are filled with great friends and family members on whom they can rely. We all want to bottle whatever it is these vital people have.

This quality of vitality is not elusive. You may think of vital people as born lucky but really their magnetic qualities are not inherited. They simply have a positive attitude and they can take care of themselves. And once you learn to develop vitality in you, a healthy weight, a longer life, a sharper mind and a happier disposition can naturally follow. Here’s how to get what you want:-

Developing a vital personality and approach to life is not achieved overnight. It takes time to grow into and strengthen your vitality, just as it takes regular exercises to keep your body strong. It is not easy to change, but it is possible. It’s the desire to better ourselves that make us human and makes life valuable. Remember you can get the vitality you want. All you have to do is dine well, stay fit, keep laughing and enjoy life, and share it with people. That is not too hard, it is?

Let’s do something about that attitude:  Our thoughts shape our bodies literally. Drag your thoughts away from your trouble by the ears, by the heels or any other way. It is the healthiest thing you could do to yourself. The other things you could do is: 

• Don’t fret about the future. Learn to live in the present.

• Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. They are only signs that you are growing a little.

• Be resourceful. If you cannot get what you want one way, try another route.

• Do what you love and love what you do. Do something because you love it, not because you expect fame or future from doing it.

• When you are feeling down in the dumps, do something for someone else, it helps you forget your woes.

• Take responsibility. Don’t blame others for whatever happens in you life.

• Be the kind of person you would love to have as a friend.

• Love others because you want to, not because you expect anything from them.

• Don’t let pain get you down. If something hurts, it’s going to hurt whether you’re lying in bed or climbing a mountain.

• Don’t bear grudges

• You are old when you feel sorry for yourself

• You may not be perfect, but remember YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH
