Life Advice List

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

When in doubt, just take the next small step.

Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

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

Pay off your credit cards every month.

You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

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

Save for retirement, starting with your first paycheck.

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

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

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

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

Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or get busy dying.

You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

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

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

Overprepare, then go with the flow.

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

The most important sex organ is the brain.

No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"

Forgive everyone everything.

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

Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

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

Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Believe in miracles.

Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.

Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

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

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

Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

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

Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

The best is yet to come.

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

Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

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

Yield.

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

Always maintain a good sense of humor.

Never be too good to start at the bottom.

Exercise every single day, even when you don't feel like it.

Don't spend more money than you make.

Love at first sight is not a fable.

Your family is the most precious thing you will ever have in life.

Your life is delicate, and if you neglect yourself, you'll spoil.

Don't ever be afraid to be your true self.

You must be able to forgive, even if it's difficult to do.

Save your money now and spend it later.

Love is not always easy; sometimes you have to work at it.

Find something comical in every single situation.

If you're faced with a problem, don't delay trying to figure it out. But if there's no way to figure it out, you have to forget about it.

Make sure you're doing what you love; don't be afraid to follow those dreams you have for yourself.

Education is important, but life can be an education in itself.

Explore your world and stay curious.

Try not to take yourself so seriously.

Have common sense. Think about the most reasonable answer to every situation. If you don't have common sense, you're a bust.

Life is a gift that you must unwrap. It's up to you to determine if what's inside will lead you to happiness or dismay. You have the power to make that decision for yourself.

A List of Good Influences

"Love is the killer app" -- business author Tim Sanders

Here's a very nifty list of "good influences" I found listed online.

"No one is asking you to be a saint or even to check off as many of these points as you can (but if you have OCD, you just might feel compelled to!). The point is to expand your sense of well-being, showing you all the dimensions of life that send signals to your body. One could easily call all of these positive influences a kind of placebo, because you expect to be pleased."
