To celebrate growing older, someone once wrote a list of lessons which life can teach you. I added a few myself, and I’ll share the first 25 today, and the other 25 tomorrow.
1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 9. Save for retirement starting with your first pay check.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. Love your enemies, and you’ll drive them nuts! 15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. When judging others use the THINK method. Is it True, Helpful, Important, Necessary, Kind? If it is then say it, but if it’s not, don’t even open your mouth. 22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Cough to clear your throat, and sigh to clear your heart. 24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
