Sharing buttons:
this is the sunday motivational video
every Sunday we bring you a different
type of video which should improve your
life today we're looking at 15 rules to
live a happy life welcome to a Lux calm
the place where future billionaires come
to get inspired hey there a lack sirs
initially we were going to make a fluff
video about spirituality and how
happiness comes from within but after
giving it some serious thought we said
screw it let's just do this right it's
unlike any other video about how to be
happy in life that you've probably ever
seen because we're not going to hold
back and fill your head with meaningless
quotes you'll forget in a second instead
we recommend you pay attention to what
we're about to share with you because if
you really absorb this information it
could save you a lot of pain and
sleepless nights you got to put in the
work and not sabotage yourself in order
to live a happy life you basically need
to figure out how to minimize the amount
of stress and harm you caused to
yourself and others combine that with
the satisfaction of achieving some of
your goals and you're off to a great
start if you are new here welcome be
sure to subscribe and follow us on
instagram at a lux if you want to live a
happy life here's our take on the things
you need to get right number one define
from which point you consider yourself
successful the big mistake most people
make is they think they need a billion
dollars to be happy they think they need
a large yacht a big house 100 friends
and millions donated to charity these
people will never make it
money is an amazing tool to have in your
arsenal but that's all it is one of the
tools it's by no means the end goal
statistically you're a lot more likely
to be happy with just two friends than
over 10 because the more the size of
your friend pool increases the less
amount of attention each of the
participants can show one another also
comfort is really awesome but happiness
comes from not having to worry about the
basic
everything beyond basic happiness is
called pleasure if you don't know where
you're going it doesn't matter how hard
you run number two realize how much you
already have and be grateful for it
without the appreciation of how blessed
you really are you're not going to be
able to move forward just take a step
back and analyze your current reality
the fact that you're able to watch this
video right now means you're actually
doing great having access to the type of
information our channel provides is
another form of luxury these days think
of what your life was like five years
ago and how much it's changed for the
better do not take these changes for
granted don't take your health your
family your progress for granted being
grateful for what you already have is
the perfect place to begin this journey
from number three don't eff up the big
things and this is a big one if you get
this one right everything else in this
video is just a bonus the most important
things in life are family health and
relationships get any of these three
wrong and it doesn't matter how much you
try to overcompensate with anything else
your foundation is rotten and your
entire life might collapse if you find
the right partner in life you can
withstand almost anything they have to
throw at you your family is your most
valuable support group you grow up
inside a family and then develop your
own for a reason they have your back no
matter what in order to help others you
need to first help yourself make sure
you're able to do so that's why you need
to be healthy and finally the beauty in
life comes from sharing the good times
with others you will feed your soul with
the relationships you build throughout
your life if those relationships are
toxic your life will be as well
from this point on in the video it's
just strategic tips for incremental
improvements to your life number four
don't compromise the more you do things
you don't want to do the less happy you
are your life is just the sum of events
that take place in order to be happy and
you need to have your conscience clear
every time you do something you don't
want to do you're tearing down pieces of
what makes you you don't stick with the
soul-crushing job stuff letting people
treat you like [ __ ] and never settle for
something or someone who doesn't make
you happy it doesn't get better with
time instead you learn to tolerate it
and it makes this type of existence a
part of who you are
number five stop worrying about things
you can't control
we stress so damn much about things we
can do nothing about that it's no wonder
people are self-medicating to the degree
they are today when faced with such a
situation here's what you need to do 1
make sure you prepare for it beforehand
so it doesn't catch you by surprise
2 once it happens put your best foot
forward and tackle the situation head-on
stressful situations only get worse if
you ignore them 3 once you did
everything in your power to solve the
issue let it go and see what happens and
4 has things progress be ready to react
to new changes if you follow this
four-step plan you can get through
almost anything life throws at you and a
lectures if you're struggling with this
we did two really great videos on the
things you can and can't control in life
click in the top right corner to watch
those it's amazing how much control
people really do have but don't act on
it number six benchmark against yourself
meaning the only person you should
compare yourself with is your past self
it's super easy to look at other people
and feel down on yourself because you
don't have the same level of success the
same level of happiness or the same
types of relationships but what you fail
to realize is that you're comparing
someone else's final chapter with your
first few chapters if you keep putting
in the work keep flipping them pages
you'll get it for yourself too people
don't realize the importance of slow
progress it's more important to move
slowly in the right direction than to
sprint to a place you don't want to
number seven surround yourself with
great people your familia your crew your
squad your friends your tribe they can
turn things around for you if you pick
them right we feed off the energy the
ideas the vibes of other people and
having the right kind of people around
you is such a valuable asset for
yourself and your future almost any
issue you have in life gets a lot easier
if you build the right support system
around yourself you don't need many of
them all you need is a partner who's
willing to go through this life with you
no matter what and one or two friends
who would wake up at 3:00 a.m. and bail
you out if it came to it hopefully it
won't come to that but that's when you
know it's real so how do you make this
happen
to this day there is a single book that
nobody has been able to Tom it's called
how to win friends and influence people
by Dale Carnegie it's probably the best
advice you'll ever get on the issue and
we definitely recommend you get it as an
audiobook so you can listen to it in the
car or at the gym if you go to a locks
calm slash free book and sign up you can
get it for free it was one of the first
books that we read and to this day we
still use some of the things we learned
from it number eight don't overthink
more people miss their chances due to
overthinking than those who don't think
about it at all and just do it don't get
us wrong both ways are kind of dumb but
if opportunities present themselves if
you've done your homework beforehand and
you're ready you need to jump on it
overthinking leads to a life filled with
regrets for not acting when you should
have that's how you end up still
thinking about the girl you should have
kissed or asked out when you were just a
teenager the same pattern of behavior
repeats itself when you're older with
the same type of results people
overthink things that sometimes have an
easy fix or even outside of their
control
number nine be healthy in order to have
a happy and fulfilled life you need to
be able to enjoy it you should be able
to use all of your senses to appreciate
how fruitful lie
fiz you need to understand that your
health level directly correlates to your
levels of happiness if you're weak and
ill your body's chemistry changes
thus secreting less quantities of the
things that make you feel happy and
outgoing
you'll make choices based on that
current state of mind
thus behaving in a different fashion
than you would if you were healthy this
doesn't only concern your physical state
either but your psychological one as
well you can be as ripped as you want
but if your mind is not in the right
place you're still unhappy seek ways to
improve both and your chances of living
a happy life will dramatically increase
number 10 appreciate the little things
in life no matter how hard you tell
yourself that you only need to get this
one thing and then you're gonna be happy
life is what happens to you while you're
hustling away towards your dream work as
hard as you want but do it in a fashion
that doesn't make you sacrifice
everything these little moments and
motions you go through every day they
stack up and they form what you know as
your life so you better pay attention to
them because even if you get your dream
goal you might just realize that you've
sacrificed too much and now it wasn't
worth it we recommend you at least know
what to look for that's why we made a
video called 15 little things to
appreciate in life you can watch it by
clicking in the top right corner if you
go through that video and are just aware
of what the most important little things
are you'll be able to avoid falling in
the same traps that many others will we
strongly recommend you check it out if
you haven't already number 11 exercise
your passion happiness comes from doing
the things you love a life lived without
passion is not a life truly lived
you are just alive and then you died
passion is what sets people apart it's
what helps people escape the mundane and
move into a different universe filled
with the most incredible elements
passion pushes people to be better to
create more or simply calms the soul you
need all three in your life to be happy
if you can monetize your passion
that's even better but if you can't at
least find a way to exercise it in some
form or another trust us it will keep
you sane number 12 make other people
happy
guess what making other people happy
results in your being happier for a
longer period of time than just serving
yourself who knew this was the secret to
happiness all along if you can generate
happiness for others everything changes
in your life your energy your mindset
your productivity and attitude towards
life as a whole
you are the living example that good
things are happening in the world the
effect you have on other people
snowballs and creates even more
happiness which you'll find is reflected
back on to you if your life is miserable
you might want to start by changing the
way you treat others number thirteen
disconnect and explore this is another
big one especially in today's social
media centered society recent studies
show that social networks are making you
less happy with your life this is
because nobody is posting their failures
or bad days instead all you see is
people faking happiness and showcasing
feelings you currently don't have access
to we've learned firsthand how fake
social media can be that's why it's
important to disconnect not only from
social media but from your everyday life
we recommend you change your scenery see
new places meet different people and
live different experiences this elevates
who you are as a person the more you
explore and experience the more complex
of a person you become you'll see the
world through new eyes this is what we
are trying to do with our Instagram
account at a Lux apart from introducing
you to some of the best luxury
experiences in the world we try to give
you some ideas to reflect on to think
what your life would be like if you
shifted the way you lived if you're not
following you're missing out plus we
love the community on there as well we
usually reply to private messages so
that's a little secret you now know
number fourteen don't take yourself too
seriously happiness comes from not
pretending to be something you're not
and being embraced by the world for just
that as we keep growing we noticed our
set of values maturing as well but we
never forgot about the inner child that
particular state of mind never went away
and it shouldn't the mind is a dangerous
place for those who no longer see the
beauty in fooling around take that stick
out of your behind and live a little
because those are the best moments in
life and the most great ideas will come
from that place domestication of ideas
only results in what we already know
combine it with desire for more and
you're on the right track that's why the
late Steve Jobs always said stay hungry
stay foolish number fifteen spend money
on experiences not things most things
you buy are depreciating assets while
experiences increase in value as you
grow older we're not talking about
financial investments for the goal of
generating financial returns this has to
do with how much happiness you can get
for your buck
there are many psychology professors who
back up the claim that experiences have
a longer happiness span than material
things you might think that this is
obvious but you'd be amazed by how very
few people leverage this to their
advantage we see many people buy things
like the latest louisvil it's all
supreme hoodie which got disregarded
after a couple of weeks when the same
amount of money could have gotten you an
incredible experience for you and a
loved one that would stick with you
forever
be smart about your happiness a Luxor's
happiness and life wealth doesn't just
happen to you you have to build it for
yourself

rules mentioned on the list do you think
will make the biggest difference in your
life where will you focus your
attentions next let us know in the

bonus piece of advice that everyone else

your life right now listen to this very
carefully because it's probably the most
valuable piece of info included in this
video
your past is already behind you your
future is ahead of you
your future has not been written yet you
have the power to change your path if
you choose to do so it will not be easy
and it will not happen overnight but you
