Personal life strategies are different for everyone. No two people are exactly the same. What works for some may not work for others.
Values
What are your main values in life, what are the characteristics do you think are important to live a good life? Values are a huge part of your personality and beliefs. Once you have established what values are important to you, it is easy to work on yourself from there.
Be Proactive
If you want something to happen, you have to make it happen. Being proactive is the best skill you could ever possess. Proactivity leads to high productivity. Being proactive means you are taking control of a situation before it actually happens.
Bucket List
Many people talk about their bucket list. A bucket list for many is a list of goals they would like to achieve before they die. There can be many bucket lists made for many purposes. An age milestone bucket list can be a list of goals you would like to achieve say before age 60. You can also create a business bucket list. This type of bucket list could be a set of goals you wish to achieve prior to retirement.
