Don't try to control everything, you miss out on life. Roll with the punches.

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

Don't keep up with the Jones', be your own Jones, Clark, Smith, or whatever, do your OWN thing.

Your problems are just fine, think about some possible problems that you could have, you'd choose yours in a flash.

Strive to grow old, the alternative isn't that great...death, it's permanent.

Laugh every day, make it a habit.

Miracles DO happen!!

This too shall pass.

Practice forgiveness, it makes such a difference.

When something that is bothering you seems important do the test, in 10 min will it matter, in ten hours will it matter, in 10 days will it matter, in 10 months will it matter, in 10 years will it matter. That puts it in perspective.

No one can bother you or make you feel bad or unhappy but yourself. You're in control of your emotions and how you react towards life.

Say thank you when someone holds the door for you or does other kind things.

If you're a guy always hold doors for ladies, if you're a lady pass the kindness on to others.

Be Prepared, Always

Use the good stuff, don't wait for a special occasion. Living is a special occasion.

Believe in yourself, whatever you want to do you CAN do. You're all that you need.

If you didn't have a great childhood think of something that was good. Leave the bad in the past and make it nothing more than a vague memory. Focus on the good.

It IS true, what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger.

If it doesn't feel right, it probably isn't. Listen to yourself. Change it till it feels right.

Do what makes YOU happy and that you enjoy, don't worry about what others think or if they think you are good enough...Be you.

Don't fight in front of people, heck try not to fight ever, but if you must do it in private...in public is trashy and tacky. Be classy.

Some people don't care about learning and just want to be right and will argue till death. Let them and leave them. Too much is wasted on them.

Don't be afraid to call off sick from work when you are truly sick. Even when they give you a hard time. Work won't care if you don't get better. Your family will.

Always pay you credit card bill in full or as much as you can. Be not a borrower or a lender.

Don't harbor ill feelings, rise above and be the better person. If they want to themselves allow it and accept.

Life is not fair, but it is good and you will deal. Don't whine be thankful.

Be aware of others around you. This world is for everyone. Remember that.

Don't stand in the middle of a busy place without realizing there are people that need around you. Courtesy!

Delete the negative people from your life. Keep the positive people close to you. Why waste time and energy on those that stay negative?

Do your own thing! Don't worry what others are doing.

Don't ever believe anyone that says you can't do something when it comes to your dreams and goals. They just never had someone to support them to do theirs.

Go Slowly and enjoy things, just because other people are going at a fast pace does not mean you have to. You'll never miss out on things if you go slowly.

Enjoy the Seasons, make the most of each.

Smile :-D With a smile you can change a whole day and it says a lot about yourself

Look people in the eye, its shows respect and confidence

Say Please and Thank You as well as You're Welcome

It's simple and free
