Lessons of a 90 year old.

Written by a 90 year old

This is something we should all read at least once a week!!!!! Make sure you read to the end!!!!!!

Written by Regina Brett, 90 years old, of the Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio .

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written.

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

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 – enjoy it.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.

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. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye, but don't worry, God never blinks.

16.. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19.. It's never too late to be happy. But it's all up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy clothes. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need

42. The best is yet to come...

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.

44. Yield.

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

Its worth reading again & again, as & when you can.👏👏👏

Investments of Life ..

Once Buddha was traveling with a few of his followers.
While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."

The disciple walked up to the lake.
At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake.
As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid.

The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?"

So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back
to the lake.

The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy.

He returned and informed Buddha about the same.

After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear.

So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said, "See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own, and you have clear water."

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own.

You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down.
It will happen. It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job, it is an effortless process👌so keep ur mind cool and have a grt life ahead...

Never leave Your close ones.
If you find few faults in them just close Your eyes
'n Remembr the best time You spent together
because affection is More Important than Perfection..!
Neither you can hug yourself nor you can cry on your own shoulder.

Life is all about living for one another, so live with those who love you the most...

Relations cannot be Understood by the Language of Money...
Bcoz, Some Investments Never Give Profit But They Make us rich...!

"Family n Friends are such Investments"

NB: EITHER Person next to u in a bench need not  your friend..  NOR person of the same blood means family member....   Both have lot of meaning... Of give and take.... And lot more..."!!

Heavenly Tips .. To take care or life..

🎀💕I loved this so am sharing with you:-
Heavy rains remind us of challenges in life.
Never ask for a lighter rain, just pray to God for a better umbrella. - That is the attitude!
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
Life is not about finding the right person, but creating the right relationship. It's not how we care in the beginning, but how much we care till the very end.
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
Some people always throw stones in your path. It depends on what you make with them; a Wall or a Bridge? - Remember you are the architect of your life.
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
Search for a good heart, but don't search for a beautiful face, coz beautiful things are not always good, but good things are always beautiful.
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
It's not important to hold all the good cards in life, but it's important how well you play with the cards you hold.
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
Often when we lose all hope & think this is the end, remember God and pray, it's just a bend, not the end.' -
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
Have faith and have a successful life.
One of the basic differences between God and humans is, God gives, gives and forgives. But the human gets, gets, gets and forgets.
Be thankful in life...
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
If u think it is your alarm clock that woke you up this morning, try putting it beside a dead body and you will realise that it is the Grace of God that woke you up.
🎀💕➖➖➖➖➖➖
If you are grateful to God, forward this to all your friends to inform them that it is JUST BY THE GRACE OF God that we are alive...

Have Received A Wonderful Message and Thought Of Sharing......

"I hired a plumber to help me in my repairs at an old farmhouse. He already had a rough and tiresome day.
* a flat tyre
* his electric drill fault
* his old car break down.
* his tiffin was spoilt
* he lost his wallet
* his bank was calling for loan repayments

In all the tension and stress he finished my repairs.

Since his car broke down, I drove him home.  While I drove him home, he sat silently, but I can mark his agony and restlessness.

On arriving, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands and closed his eyes.

When the door opened, he was smiling and happy. In seconds he underwent an amazing transformation.

He hugged his two small children, gave his wife a kiss, laughed, and never even slightly make them feel the troubles that he had encountered that day.

I was astonished, aback and curious. Seeing my inquisitive eyes he told "Oh, that's my Trouble Tree. My best friend.  My trouble carrier for the night". He replied.   "I know I can't help having
troubles on the job, but one thing's for sure, those troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them up on the tree every night when I come home and ask God to take care of them. Then in the morning I pick them up again." He smiled and shared secret that "when I come out in the morning to pick 'em up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging there the night before !!"

Life may be a burden of worries, but there is a way to keep our loved ones untouched from these worries.

Time will heal every wound...

Spreading Smile and happiness to our loved ones also in turn relieves us of stress.

TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST;
BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.

Read carefully...whom so ever is tensed today....look for a tree.�
Lots of LOVE!!!                                                        ENJOY LIFE...........ALWAYS 😊
