50 Life Lessons

Some of my favorite life lessons are below. It's always nice to be reminded of them. Do you have a life lesson you would like to share?

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.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

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

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

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

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

33. Believe in miracles.

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

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

36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

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.

48. If you don't ask, you don't get.

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