Words to live by



I found a new blog today (Well not that new, but I'd lost the link and found it again on someone else's blog) and she had a lovely post that I'd love to share.

Fran over at Fortune Cookies posted this, which she found from Lara over at The Crone's blog.  She has invited us to share it, so with thanks to both her and Lara, here it is.

1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk,



smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.


2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Buy a


lock if you have to.


3. When you wake up in the morning complete the following


statement, ‘My purpose is to __________ today.’


4. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less


food that is manufactured in plants.


5. Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries,


salmon, broccoli , almonds & walnuts.


6. Try to make at least three people smile each day.


7. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy


vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things


you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the


positive present moment.


8. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner


like a Uni student with a maxed out charge card.


9. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.


10. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.


11. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does..


12. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.


13. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.


14. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea


what their journey is all about.


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


16. Frame every so-called disaster with these words: ‘In


five years, will this matter?’


17. Forgive everyone for everything.


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


19. GOD/DESS heals everything.


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


21. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your


friends will. Stay in touch!!!


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


23. Each night before you go to bed complete the following


statements: I am thankful for __________.


Today I accomplished _________.


24. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.


25. Please share this with everyone you care about. 







What wise words to live by.  I'm going to have to try very hard to work on some of these, but I'd like to.

  2. Those are quite possibly the wisest words I've read. I love 'em, and I'm going to live 'em.

I know we're all busy, so the fact you've taken time out of your day to comment and connect with me means so much.
