Yesterday’s post contained some advice S~T~R~E~S~S. Following up on that post, here are 13 Life Lessons to help you deal with daily challenges:
1) Acceptance. Accept that some days you’re the pigeon and other days you’re the statue.
2) Exercise restraint. Keep your words soft and sweet (in case you have to eat them).
If you can’t be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
3) Look for hidden blessings. If you lend someone $20 and never see them again, it was probably worth it.
4) Go With the Flow. A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on an unexpected detour.
5) Watch your tongue. If you put both feet in your mouth at the same time, you won’t have a leg to stand on.
6) Drive with care. If everything’s headed straight for you, you may be in the wrong lane. It’s not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
7) Be patient and wait your turn. The second mouse gets the cheese.
8) Perfection is over-rated. Laugh at your mistakes.
And remember that some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
9) Dance like no one’s watching. Nobody cares if you can’t dance well. Just get up and dance. Life is not a dress rehearsal.
10) Sleep late when you can. It’s the early worm that gets eaten by the bird.
11) Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
12) Be kind. Perhaps our sole purpose in life is simply to be kind and compassionate to others.
13) Do what you can. You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
Aah . . . that’s better!
