\n<\/em><\/div>\n
Here are the selected ones worth remembering<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.<\/div>\n
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step…<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.<\/div>\n
4. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.<\/div>\n
5. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.<\/div>\n
6. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.<\/div>\n
7. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.<\/div>\n
8. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.<\/div>\n
9. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.<\/div>\n
10. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.<\/div>\n
11. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.<\/div>\n
12. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.<\/div>\n
13. Over prepare, then go with the flow.<\/div>\n
14. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.<\/div>\n
15. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.<\/div>\n
16. What other people think of you is none of your business.<\/div>\n
17. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.<\/div>\n
18. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.<\/div>\n
19. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.<\/div>\n
20. Your children get only one childhood.<\/div>\n
21. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.<\/div>\n
22. The best is yet to come.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
My favorites are no.16 and 22. And yours?<\/div>\n
