I know that I have been fasting from media from quite some time now. However, I simply could not resist a Korean television drama called “Baker King”. It is about a man named Tak Gu who stayed positive despite all the adversities and vowed to always live and not worry. I got a lot to learn from this guy especially since lately, I had a very hard time trying to let go of control in my life. Let me share with you the basic concepts that I learned and that I now live by.

Forget About Your Worries

Worries will make you sick. It lets you think about something that can happen but is equally unlikely to happen. You expend energy on worries always thinking about what other people will think about you. It can be your mom, your girlfriend or your colleagues. You worry about the negative and ignore the positive things in front of you. Sometimes, you may even underestimate the positive things because you are waiting for the negative things to happen. Stop this illusion. Life will only be as good as you make it to be. Live beyond the material and learn to live.

Do Not Put Off For Tomorrow What You Can Do Today

This phrase is all it took for me to get up and buy food for a beggar on the street. You may be familiar with this. You see a beggar on the street but you ignore them. You think that other people might help them and as for you, there is always next time. So you proceed with what you are doing because nothing bad will happen to you, right?

But then, you lost that moment. You lost that memory you could have made with that person. You lost that chance.

Show People You Love Them

Another reason why you should not put for tomorrow what you can do for today is to thank and talk to all the important people in your life like there is no tomorrow. Spend time with them. Hug them, kiss them and thank them. Tell them why they are important to you. Do not do it only for special occasions. Do it without a reason at all. Spread your life and positivity will fill your life like wildfire.

Savor Each Moment

Another way to live with no regrets is to savor each moment. If you are sitting right now, then sit. If you are in your car, then sit on your car. Think of nothing but the feeling of seating. Breathe and feel your body live. This will prevent you to think about the next thing you need to do or worry about things you don’t even need to think about.

Be Thankful of Your Senses

Now if you are having a hard time savoring the moment, then try to be thankful for your senses. Imagine a life without your eyes, ears, nose, mouth or limbs. What would it be like? Terrible? Yet lots of people live each day like that with a smile. So be thankful. Savor the colors and sounds of your surroundings. Yes, even the irritating sounds. It is a miracle that you can even hear them. Be thankful and breathe.

Live and Work With Passion

And last but not the least, live with your passion. Do not settle for mediocre and give every ounce of your energy to your day task. Be passionate about life and do your best. That way, you will have no regrets for you gave it your all.

So go and live with no regrets and be happy.
