Occasionally, do you feel that life is just meaningless, dull, empty, purposeless, negative especially when you are lost at the junction of life...do not know the direction where are you suppose to be heading to...
If yes, you just need to find ways, helps and tools to keep you upbeat and fully charged all the time. Life is short. Just don't spend to long wondering at the cross road.
In fact, life is just like the set menus of restaurants whereby different kinds of foods are being served at different time or stage - from appetizers, to main dishes, to desserts - life also has its menu for an upbeat life. Different people have their own individual menu that keep them happy, cheerful and optimistic.
Discover what's your favorite menus in life. They will help to keep your life meaningful, fulfilling, enjoyable, inspiring, and interesting.
Personally, I try to minimize negativity and kick start my day positively by watching at least one motivational web seminar of the world class speakers like Robert Kiyosaki, Anthony Robbins, T Harv Eker, John Foppe, Joe Girard, Denis Waitley, John Gray and lots more by SkyQuestCom.
One of my favorite inspiration is the online video of Mr John P. Foppe, author of famous books: What’s Your Excuse? and Armed With Hope. John Foope was born without arms, yet, he is able to cook, eat, drive, draw, type and is married to a wonderful lady.
Watching how he tackles life with his toes really amazes me esp after hearing his message from the web seminar, I am not looking at him but myself. John takes away all my excuses and gives me a new perspective in my life especially my journey to financial freedom.
"Our only handicaps are those mental and emotional ones that prevent us from participating fully in life." Every pathway to success is a step-by-step process requiring a focus on resources instead of handicaps, assets instead of liabilities. Enjoy this short video by John...
Cool? Amazing? Want more inspiration from John Foppe?

On top of that, the other way to keep ourselves motivated and upbeat is help the needy, the poor, the handicapped, the ailing, the broken-hearted, the homeless, the lost, and the environment.
The list can go on and on...
When we help the needy - in services, monetary value, or other forms (lending a shoulder to cry on or an understanding ear to listen to other people’s problems) - the returns are ten folds over.
However, don’t expect anything in return. Just the contentment we experience in our heart is an incomparably satisfying feeling. Giving something wholeheartedly without expecting anything in return is divine. Imagine ourselves as the person on the receiving end. We can’t wait to return the favor once we get the opportunity to do so.
Another way to enjoy life is to listen to music. Play our good old favorite songs and sing along. Sing our best. Sing carelessly or out of tune - whatever it takes to make our heart contented and whatever makes us laugh and happy.
Just hum the tune if we don’t remember the words. Sing until we laugh heartily. The idea is to keep ourselves happy and cheerful. Do this in private with our close friends or relatives though. We don’t want to annoy our neighbors too... :)
In fact, my favorite is the sound of nature is also music. The sound of river flowing, the gust of wind on a tree branch, waves on the seashore, and birds chirping are as natural as nature can be, and the way music should be. The sound of nature can make us relax, positive and optimistic because it is a beautiful and serene sound.
At the same time, we need to face the reality too. Life does have its share of troubles, disasters, and misfortunes. Bad news exists and it disturbs our minds. Totally ignoring it may not always be the answer to approach life in a realistic manner. However, we can always find ways to avoid being affected by it to maintain the dominance of life’s beauty.
A party without humor and laughter is a dull one. The same is true in our life. Fill our life with lots of humor and laughter to keep it upbeat. The more spontaneous a humorous situation is, the more natural it is, and the better it can liven up our spirits.
Look at the lessons that can be derived from misfortunes. Mistakes allow us to learn and see opportunities hidden behind adversities. Always find meaning from every event in our life. See through the shell game and value every lesson that we learn.
Sincerely hope this is helpful and meaningful to you too...
