    Lots here to look at....you see any you like or hate? Have at it!

    45 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. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
    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. 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, beautiful or joyful.
    18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
    19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is 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 lingerie. 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 everyone everything.
    29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
    30. Time heals almost everything. Give 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 -- 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. You already have all 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."

    Is this part of a song? Can't remember the name, but it came out in the early 90's I believe.

    Not sure which ones are just for females though?

    Very nice!

    Great life lessons. Sometimes we get consumed with everything we forget to breath and take in life's simple pleasures.

    yeah for men:

    21. Open another 6-pack, clean that new shotgun, and groom that bird dog. Go hunt! You know you want to. Today is special...it ends in y.

    Here's some you forgot:
    46. A good education is one of the most important things you can get, so get as much as you can.
    47. The reason we all are alive is to do something meaningful to ourselves and others. The smallest good deed for one will mean a better life for all.
    48. Perfection's only by one's view. Just because you can do a lot better than some, there are more that can do even more
    49. What one thinks is all based in their life. The more you can understand, the more friends you can make.
    50. The moment a golden opprotunity opens up, there is only a limited time before it closes. Take advantage of it as soon as possible.
    51. Whatever you do, you have to try to do it to your best. Chances are you can get a good job out of it.
    52. If you can't beat something directly, try another way. If you can't beat it at all, go with the flow.
    53. You have to be thankful with what you've got. Just because your friends have more, it doesn't mean you need to have it.
    54. Just because you want something, it doesn't mean you need it.
    55. Try not to press your vision of happiness on another. Pure happiness to one will make another completely miserable.
    56. Go easy on someone you scold. When they know they did something wrong, everyone dies a thousand deaths before they get in trouble.
    57. Any time your conscience says no, you should listen
    58. The heart always knows what's best
    59. A comprimise between the heart and the brain can lead you to do anything
    60. All problems can be solved by just thinking about it for a while

    My wife's been talking with some folks at work who are vegans (wife has developed some food allergies, apparently). Now, I have to admit, I fully agree with and plan on supporting eating vegan. Think about it. Cows are vegans. So are chickens. I enjoy eating vegans.
