    1. Life isn't fair, but it is still good.
    2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
    3. Life is too short, enjoy it.
    4. Your job wont take care of you when you're 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.

    9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
    10. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
    11. It's okay to let your children see you cry.
    12. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
    13. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
    14. Take a deep breath, it calms the mind.
    15. Get rid of anything that isnt useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
    16. Whatever doesn't kill you, really does make you stronger.
    17. It's never too late to be happy. But it's all up to you and no one else.
    18. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
    19. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear fancy lingerie, don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
    20. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
    21. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
    22. The most important sex organ is the brain.
    23. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
    24. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'
    25. Always choose life.
    26. Forgive, but don't forget.
    27. What other people think of you is none of your business.
    28. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
    29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
    30. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does..
    31. Believe in miracles.
    32. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
    33. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
    34. Your children get only one childhood.
    35. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
    36. Get outside everyday. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
    37. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
    38. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have not what you need.
    39. The best is yet to come..
    40. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.
    41. Yield.
    42. Life isn't tied with a bow, but its still a gift.

    42, 17, 39, 37 & 38 are my favorite

    Hope this helps you become a little bit more happy & successful in your life.

    Peace

  5. Thanks a bunch it'll help many other people too. This is a fantastic list though I just saved it in my favorites for my times of need.

  8. 1, 20, and 38 are my favorites
     
  9. Bump

    Just wanna spread the love


    Peace
     
  10. Bump.

    Good stuff thanks for sharing.
     
  11. I like all of them but I don't agree with 13. Some relationships have to be a secret. I was raised in a Muslim home and my parents had really strict traditions; you couldn't be in a relationship with anyone who was not Muslim. So obviously I would have to keep my non-Muslim girlfriend a secret from my parents. I also have a friend in the exact same situation.
     
  12. 16 for me....what hasn't killed me really has made me stronger.....
     
  13. Dunno man...you sure you're not just very strong and dead right now?

    Zombies are pretty fucking strong you know...just saying.
     
  14. She forgot #43- smoke weed everyday
     
  15. This is pretty much the standard "secrets" that everybody gives out. These "secrets" are a dime a dozen.

    Just because they came out of the mouth of some old broad doesn't change the fact that they're ubiquitous.

  16. Nah, I'm still alive, I can tell by the pain......
     
  17. Great list, I specially like # 19 except for the lingerie part :p
