What kinds of perspectives and thoughts make our lives easier and help us live happier more fulfilling lives?

Answer 1

I found this recently and i love it .I think all of these perspectives can make life more better for our being if we think before we act and remember some of the things thats been said in this poem.

Desiderata

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,

and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,

be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly;

and listen to others,

even to the dull and the ignorant;

they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons;

they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,

you may become vain or bitter,

for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.

Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;

it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,

for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;

many persons strive for high ideals,

and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.

Neither be cynical about love,

for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,

it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,

gracefully surrendering the things of youth.

Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.

Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,

be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe

no less than the trees and the stars;

you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,

no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,

whatever you conceive Him to be.

And whatever your labors and aspirations,

in the noisy confusion of life,

keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,

it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Max Ehrmann, 1921

Answer 2

positive thinking and attitude always smile and be friendly toward other people it gives you more confident and create a good vibe for people to associate with you.

Answer 3

To realize that many of the things we worry over are trivial. Worry causes far more grief and sorrow than it could ever prevent, and it is a complete waste of time. Far better to use that energy toward positive thinking and behavior.

There's no good to come from worrying over the future, or beating ourselves up over the past. This moment, right now, is the only one that counts.  

Answer 4

Optimism and finding the best in every situation and every person.  Focusing on the negative breeds negative thoughts and then actions will surely come.  Look for the 'Structural-Functionalist' view of society provided by Emile Durkheim.
