Life's Lessons

My friends recently started posting his life lessons online. I thought I'd share a few of them and a few of mine as a reminder to more actively use them as a guide in my life. I started applying them today at work and it actually made a difference. I'm happier. I'm particularly fond of No 7 and 13.

1. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
2. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
3. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
4. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
5. Take a deep breath.
6. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
7. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age.
8. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
9. The best is yet to come...
10. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up
11. Everyone is born essentially good.
12. You should never do anything with a bad attitude. If it has to get done anyway, you might as well do it with a smile.
13. The little things count. Be nice to people.
