15 LIFE LESSONS

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.
8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
10. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
11. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
13. Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

14. Frame every so-called disaster with: “In five years, will this matter?”

15. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.
