☻ Dream more while you're
awake.
☻ Make peace with your past so
it won't screw up the present.
☻ Don't compare your life to
others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
☻ Laugh more often, and try
not to take life too seriously.
☻ Remember that life isn't
fair -- but it's still good!
☻ Life is too short, and time
and energy too valuable, to be consumed with hate for anyone.
☻ You don't have to win every
argument. Agree to disagree.
☻ No one is in charge of your
happiness except you.
☻ Frame every so-called
disaster with these words: 'In five years, will this matter?'
☻ Forgive everyone for
everything.
☻ What other people think of
you is none of your business.
☻ Don't take yourself so
seriously. No one else does.
☻ Time heals almost
everything. Give time, time!
☻ However good or bad a
situation is, it will change.
☻ Your job won't take care of
you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay
in touch with them.
☻ Get rid of anything that
isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
☻ Envy is a waste of time. You
already have all you need.
☻ Have faith that the best is
yet to come.
☻ No matter how you feel, get
up, dress up and show up.
☻ Do the right thing!
☻ Call your family often.
☻ Take a 10-30 minute walk
every day. While you're walking, take in all the beauty and wonder of the world,
nature, birds, and/or people around you.
☻ Smile throughout the day!
It's the ultimate antidepressant.
☻ Sit in silence for at least
10 minutes each day. Buy a lock if you have to.
☻ When you wake up in the
morning complete the following statement, 'All that is truly important today is
to be kind, giving, accepting, and loving toward myself and others.
Time to get going!"
☻ Live with the 3 E's --
Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
☻ Ladies - Go on and burn
those 'special' scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good China
and wear our fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Every day
is special.
☻ Buy a TIVO/DVR, tape your
late night shows and get more sleep.
☻ Watch more movies, play more
games and read more books than you did last year.
☻ Make time every day to
exercise.
☻ Spend more time with people
over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
☻ Eat more foods that grow on
trees and plants, less animals, and fewer food that are processed in factories.
☻ Drink green tea and plenty
of water. Eat blueberries, wild Alaskan salmon, broccoli, almonds and walnuts.
☻ Eat breakfast like a king,
lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.
☻ Try to make at least three
people smile each day.
☻ Clear your clutter from your
house, your car, and your desk to let new and flowing energy into your life.
☻ Don't waste your precious
energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or
things you cannot control. Instead, invest your energy in the positive present
moment.
☻ Realize that life is a
school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum
that appear and fade away. Like a math class, it can be frustrating but the lessons you
learn will last a lifetime.
☻ Remember that you're too
blessed to be stressed.
☻ Enjoy the ride. Remember
that this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only
have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
LIVE, LOVE, LAUGH. LIFE'S A
GIFT!....UNWRAP IT!
