Pointers For Living

Just thought I'd share this 'thing' I wrote about 5 years ago that I wished I followed to the T everyday. It's about enjoying life, and giving of yourself...

• Give thanks not only for what you have, but also for what you don't have.

• Don't judge people or things based on what other people say about them. Make your own assessments.

• Learn to trust, but know who to trust.

• Work at your own pace, but don't be too slow.

• Smile.

• Have at least five people who you can say, without hesitation, that you love.

• Cry, but only when it's necessary.

• Try to stay in touch with past partners. They, more than anybody, hold the keys to the person you used to be.

• Don't try to convince yourself that you are somebody you really aren't.

• The most productive person is the one who doesn't have time to find out how productive everyone else is.

• Spend time to criticize yourself, find solutions, act on them, then smile about it.

• Let someone in on your heart- when you die, at least one person should know what you thought deep down.

• There's nothing like a good 'How are you' phone call.

• Be happy for your friends when they are happy for themselves.

• Spend some time alone and think things through.

• Spend good time with family.

• Spend time to criticising yourself, find solutions, act on them, and then smile about it.

• When it's time to play, play. When it's time to work, work. You, more than anyone else, should smartly dictate those times.

• Congratulate yourself on well-done jobs.

• Don't be afraid to say or do stupid things sometimes. That's inevitable.

• Always aim to give someone twice the love they give you. That way you can't lose.

• Turn up at a friend's front door every now and again.

• Hug.

• Always aim to make any relationship perfect, and permanent.

• Do things that make you happy, but try to make others happy too. Life is short.

• Don't feel badly about making someone cry, if it will bring good.

• Never tell someone you love them if you really don't.

• Enjoy each day- die smiling.

• Make your own philosophies, and find your own inspirations.

• PRAY
