8.) Spend more time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 12.  If you have children please listen to what they have to tell you and dig for the things they don't want to tell you.  You may have to grow up a little yourself, to be a good parent.

14.) 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.

15.) 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 algebra class .......but the lessons you learn (hopefully)
will last a lifetime...
 
16.) Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out charge card.

(You can't blame your parents forever!!)

23.) Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

24.) Ladies - Go on and burn those 'special' scented candles, use the 600 thread count sheets, the good china and wear your fancy lingerie now. Stop waiting for a special occasion. Everyday you get out of bed is special.

25.) You and your trust in God is in charge of your happiness.

26.) Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In two - five or ten years, will this matter and who in the heck will remember?"

27.) Forgive everyone for everything.  This is the tough one - I can't do it..... YET.

28.) What other people think of you is none of your business.  If truth be known, they are too busy with their own lives to worry about the stupid things you have done.

29.) Time heals almost everything. Give time, time!  Don't measure your life with TEARS...

30.) However good or bad a situation is, it will soon change.  Put on your "Big" Girl/Boy panties and gut it out.

These are to "share."

33.) Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

34.) 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.  At the end - what will they say at your funeral - Were you a NICE person or a hateful one?  Your life will be judged by the DASH (time) between your Birth Date and Your Death Date.  i.e. 1936 - 2008
