Transforming your life means transcending your life and going beyond the ordinary aspect(s) of your life. Life transformation is not that difficult if you continue the trend bit by bit. The narrator prescribes 101 ways to transform your life as listed below:
- Change your thoughts and language to change your life. Keep in mind that you are surrounded by an invisible or divine intelligence in the universe.
- Put trust in God and do your best.
- The door to maximum awareness is inward.
- Practice meditation in silence and quietness and listen to your inner speech.
- Everything is based on a purpose.
- Look inward and appreciate your blessings, including your body and health.
- Don’t be judgmental.
- Appreciate the beauty around you.
- See the beauty of God in everyone and everything.
- Don’t judge people.
- Be peaceful and meditate.
- Forgive yourself for any kind of transgression.
- Release yourself from your missteps.
- Don’t criticize yourself over and over.
- Forgive your past.
- When you seek happiness for yourself, it will always elude you, but when you seek happiness for others, you will always have an abundance of it.
- Remove all your enemies. We’re all here for a reason. Don’t fragment people.
- Forget about impossibilities.
- Don’t be a cynic and pessimistic person.
- Think outside the box.
- Communication brings peace.
- Grief is a poison.
- Express yourself. Talk with people about your feelings. It will release turmoil and negative thoughts and energies.

- This perspective encourages you to share more with people unconditionally.
- Be generous and ready to give away things that you don’t use.
- And don’t show off or tell others that you’ve done it.
- Be content with what you are. Don’t be a people pleaser.
- You have the right to be who you are as long as it does not hurt others.
- What you think will expand. So, think of something that is positive and nourishing to you. Your thoughts create your reality. So, positive thoughts would lead to positive reality for you.
- If you like to be peaceful, discard this notion that “more is better”.
- To be more and more blissful, keep in mind that you need to stay close to nature as far as you can in one way or another.
