20.- Don’t take life too seriously! And dont think you’re the center of the universe.
21.- You don’t have to win every argument! Respect others who may have a different perspective on things. Be willing to allow a difference of opinion. Agree to disagree.
22.- Get over your past - and don’t let it drag you down. Life isnt a race where only the first person wins. He wins who gets up everytime he falls.
23.- Quit comparing yourself to others. No one has walked in your shoes - and you have not walked in theirs. Quit feeling sorry for yourself.
24.- No one is in charge of or owes you happiness out of life. Its up to YOU to FIND it or to MAKE it.

26.- Never pass up an opportunity to learn something new - no matter how old you are.
27.- Be more concerned with what your Father in Heaven thinks of you - then what your neigbors may think of you.
28.- Make a list of all the things you are thankful for! Get on your knees and say a prayer of gratitude without asking for anything.
29.- No matter how good or how bad things get - always remember the situation will always eventually change.
30.- When your life has come and gone – it won’t matter much the house you had, the car you drove, the title you held. . . . What will matter most will be the relationships of friendship and love that can continue on into eternity.
31.- Remember what Thumper said - If you cant say anything nice – then don’t say anything at all.
32.- Nothing good ever comes of unproductive envy of others and their material possessions.
33.- Remember the Best is yet to Come!
34.- Don’t let how you feel control what you do. Decide what you will do – and you will see that you will have control over how you feel.
35.- Open your heart and soul to others – dont close your heart simply because you are afraid of it getting broken.
36.- Let your family and friends know how you feel about them.
37.- Counsel with the Lord in all your doings – and he will direct your path.
38.- Follow the example of the sunflower – always keep your face to the light and not to the shadows.
39.- We only go through life once – you will rarely be able to return to the “forks in the road” – choose wisely.
40.- Pass this on to all those people you care about – express your feelings for them – dont wait till its too late.
Enjoy life – and enjoy the people that make up a part of it!
And remember – we are not human beings having a spiritual experience – we are spiritual beings having a human experience.
Have a great New Year! Keep Smiling And pass on your smile to all the people you meet!
