I don't know who wrote this but it sure shows so much wisdom!

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. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

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
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, 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 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, except you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words:
'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

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. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick.
Your friends will. Stay in touch.

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. Your children get only one childhood. Make it
memorable.

37. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

38. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting
everywhere.

39. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw
everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

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

41. The best is yet to come.

42. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show
up.

43. Yield.

44. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Cyndy

All true.  I can think of some more. 
 
- Treat everyone else like you would like to be treated. 
 
- Count your blessings every day. 
 
- Smiling is a whole lot easier than frowning, and it feels a lot better, so smile, even when you feel like frowning.  Pretty soon you'll feel like smiling and the urge to frown will go away. 
 
- Nobody's perfect, least of all you.  So don't beat yourself up when things aren't perfect when you want them to be. 
 
And last but not least, from the pen of Oscar Wilde... - "Guilt is a self inflicted wound, healed only by that realization."
 
Hugs and lots of love,
 
Dan
