1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

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

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

5. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

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

7. Make peace with your past so it won't mess up the present.

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

9. Take a deep breath every now and then. It calms the mind.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

17. Always choose life.

18. Forgive others and yourself.

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

20. Time heals almost everything. Give time a little time.

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

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

23. Believe in miracles.

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

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

26. Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.

27. Your children get only one childhood.

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

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

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

31. The best is yet to come...

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

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

Picking up plagiarism doesn't take all that much time Paige. Giving recognition to the author (who did the actual work) is the right thing to do.

Aaawwww Patric... you picking up plagiarism? Lol... at least you can make me smile... thanks

I think most people can pick it up Paige. I need Google...other are more well read and pick it up allot quicker. Point is...dont try to pass of something as your own work without giving credit to the author (mentioning that someone else wrote it is not good enough)

Ive seen your "work" on Facebook too....don't even need Google...


Seen as you quoted the author....this could probably go into the "Inspirational quote" thread.

Surely you can read... On my second message on that thread " What woman need to know" I said that it wasn't my own writing (please go back and read) I never took credit for it! ... and that I added to the list... and took away from it... but it wasnt good enough... NO you just had to derail it like you do with all my threads... anyway so what if I haven't mentioned the name of the original writer? Is it a sin? Is it a ESA rule? If so... who made that rule, you or Google inspector? Is it because it was such a beautiful and positive thread that you feel you need to add some negativity to it?
There is beautiful threads added daily to the forum and was never an issue if the writers name wasn't added... If you and the Google inspector have the time and energy to search and source and add the Writers names to it... please go ahead... next time I'll leave it to you to figure it out since you have time on your hands...

For most people it will be common sense. Anyway....I just hate it when people take credit for the work of others....but apparently all of us don't feel the same.

While you're a fan of the work of this author:

Aaaawwwww..... I really needed a good laugh... thanks Patric.

I agree with all the points raised.
Except point number 6.
I never get angry with God.
I have found that it backfires badly (seriously.)
