This is something that I have stumble upon while reading a blog, it’s a good guide on how I would like to live my life and hence, my personal manifesto.
- Don’t aim just to be rich, aim to create wealth, create better lives, create better livelihoods for people, create jobs where others can contribute to society and be a useful participant.
- Use your wealth to fund your passions and causes, and don’t forget to enjoy yourself in the process.
- Stand up for injustice, for the downtrodden, for those who cannot help themselves. Aim for equality for all, in all.
- Have a zest for good things, finer things in life, it’s OK to enjoy.
- Surround yourself with positive people. Make sure your life partner is enthusiastic, have energy for life, and empathy for people, friends and family.
- Don’t wait for fate or destiny to affect your life, it’s your life, make it happen.
- Finding something or someone that/who means more to you than yourself.
- Make a conscious effort not to hold onto people who don’t love us or people who hate us or people who make us mad or people who take us for granted … we also care too little for the people who love us unconditionally, the people who adore us, the ones who still stick around in spite of all your shortcomings.
- Make an effort to live healthy for yourself and the people who care for you. Live long but more importantly live well.
- Make a conscious effort to better the lives of the people around you, your family and circle of close friends.
- Bloom where you are planted, not whine about why you are where you are.
