Life Lessons

October 9, 2009

These are little things I try to live by. I hope I don’t sound preachy – these are just words of wisdom I learned through my journey in this life so far and thought I’d write them down to share. Take what you like and leave the rest. I’m not perfect, but having these written down helps me to remember to live by these rules as often as possible.

The little things don’t matter much
Love to the fullest
trust yourself and your intuition
life is easier when you go with the flow
Thank and appreciate your loved ones
kiss those dearest to you every day and tell them that you love them
Know that even when life is hard, someone else’s life is harder
be grateful for the good things in your life
pick your battles
look into people’s eyes when you’re talking to them
be kind
smile at others and to yourself
Letting go is hard but sometimes necessary
patience is important
believe in yourself when others do and even when they don’t
realize your dreams
set goals but know they they may change
expect greatness
get excited! remember how it feels to get as excited as you did as a child – and bring that feeling back
be content
walk a mile in someone else’s shoes before you judge them
breath
take time for yourself
forgive
be grateful
accept and love others as they are
be kind to our planet – mother nature – our life source
recycle
drive less – walk/bike more
walk barefoot in nature sometimes
do the things you love to do as often as you can
exercise makes you feel awesome
do something nice for someone else for no reason once in a while
