Live every day by actively trying to improove someone else's life.
Train your mind. Put things into perspective. Sort out the priorities. Recalibrate. Nothing is that big of a deal. Those seemingly large problems are just our life situations, but not life itself.

We are reckless with our hearts, we make a mess and recreate, we inhale what was left, then express interest for all the things we left unsaid. Recalibrate your thoughts.

Don’t worry about what other people think of you. It’s mostly in your head. You will be criticized and mocked (often by the ones closest to you) when you go out on a limb, but that is where all the fruit is.
Follow your intuition. Men, this is particularly relevant to you since we tend to look at things too objectively.
Be okay with failure and rejection.
Be okay with losing friends who don’t support your new direction. You will attract the right people into your life if you stay focused and on track.
Recognize the small successes for what they are – a seed planted for something bigger.
Stop judging others or yourself. Give other people the benefit of the doubt. In current terms, don’t be a hater.
Do one thing every day that scares you. Mary Schmich wrote this in her article. Lululemon reusable shopping bags have this written clearly on them. I wrote about my experiences trying this concept out too.
Keep your mind active and always be learning something. Be a lifelong student. Be nice to beginners (newbies, noobs), because if you make the lifelong learning habit, you will always be a “noob” at something. More importantly, be humble.
Don’t concern yourself with being right (and making others wrong). More often than not, it’s better just to be happy.
See your problems as either challenges or preferably opportunities. I will admit that this is harder than it sounds yet it is so important. Looking back on my life, I wouldn’t trade any of my so-called problems for the world, as they’ve taught me so much and brought me to where I am. From them, I’ve learned acceptance, understanding, compassion, courage, and so much more. Change your perspective and soon enough, you’ll be having good problems (e.g. Who should I ask out tonight – Betty or Veronica?)
Let go. Accept the things you can’t change. What you don’t accept will eat you up on the inside, and will synchronistically age you on the outside. I’ll repeat it again - Let go.
Be comfortable with being uncomfortable. On the other side of fear lies freedom.
Celebrate your successes or achievements, but don’t let them inflate your ego. Your accomplishments do not make you a better person than anyone else.
Be flexible.
Stay fit. Your body is the most important possession you will ever have in this world, so take care of it with that in mind. If you owned a Maserati, you wouldn’t put low octane fuel into it, so treat your body likewise.
Give value to other people. Don’t think so much about what you can get. It will come in due time, when you least expect it.
Lift with your knees.
Do what you love. Working hard or working smart doesn’t mean much if you don’t love what you do. Again, focus on giving value. It’s a reward in itself. Steve Jobs said it best: If you haven’t found (what you love) yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.
Simplify. Don’t accumulate too many things. They only tie you down and clutter your mind.
Look for similarities in other people, rather than differences.
Stop watching TV.
Create an action habit. The Law of Attraction doesn’t work without some action.
Practice patience.
Take responsibility for your own actions. Stop blaming others for your circumstances.
Write down your goals.
Review your goals.
Enjoy the journey, not the destination.
And of course … above all else, wear sunscreen
