15 Things You Should Give Up To Be Happy

Here is a list of 15 things which, if you give up on them, will make your life a lot easier and much, much happier.

We hold on to so many things that cause us a great deal of pain, stress and suffering – and instead of letting them all go, instead of allowing ourselves to be stress free and happy – we cling on to them.

Here we go:

1. Give up your need to always be right

It’s ok being wrong, it’s ok to make some mistakes, you are not an exception.

2. Give up your need for control

Let yourself be free from unnecessary controls in life. You don’t need to control everything in your life.

3. Give up on blame

Take the charge, take the responsibility, be a leader. Don’t blame, it never works.

4. Give up your self-defeating self-talk

Don’t give yourself reasons for failures. You are born to win, and failures are milestones in your journey to success. Try it even if you have slightest chance, don’t discourage yourself.

8. Give up your need to impress others

9. Give up your resistance to change

10. Give up labels

You don’t need it so just give it up.

11. Give up on your fears

Fears are not an easy thing to give up but at the same time fears should become strong enough to dominate your will.

You won’t need to give any excuse to yourself, start doing instead of making excuses.

Start living a life that you love, start doing things that you find best for you.
