7% Written by a 90 year old
I can't take credit for this one, but I hope one day I can write my own similar list. I believe her advice is exactly some of the things I might write. Take head. If someone who has lived 90 years is telling you this about life, it's probably true.
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 – enjoy it.
4.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family
will.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win
every argument. Stay true to yourself.
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 paycheck.
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. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in
it.
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. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
18.
Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19.. It's never too
late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else .
20. When it comes
to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn
the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a
special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the
flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The
most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your
happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In
five years, will this matter?'
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive
29.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals
almost everything. Give time time.
31.. However good or bad a situation is,
it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else
does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. God loves you because of who God is,
not because of anything you did or didn't do.
35. Don't audit life. Show up
and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying
young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly
matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are
waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw
everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept
what you already have , not what you need!
42. The best is yet to
come...
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44.
Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."
Love You mommy,
