Now is the time of year that a lot of my friends pray and contemplate great ideas. I want to send them my wishes for a happy New Year and also list some of the ideas that I contemplate.
15 LIFE TRUTHS
1 You cannot make someone love you.
2 The greatest irony is that no two people are at the same place in their lives at the same time.
3 The time, energy, expense and love of raising children is a completely selfless act. It will never be repaid to you by them as adults…so know that going in.
4 Surviving your childhood and figuring out who your parents are will take half of your life, but it is a journey each of us must take.
5 Without asking ourselves the difficult questions and trying to answer them we have missed the point of our journey as human beings.
6 All knowledge is self knowledge and as long as we live we must keep learning.
7 We don’t know what we know until we know it and then we can never overlook or forget it.
8 Love is the answer…not the question. Love is a verb.
9 Take note of what and who comes into, stays or goes out of your life because everything happens for a reason and it is our task to figure out what the reason is.
10 Time is precious, use it well and find the balance between working, playing, loving and observation.
11 Learn to feed the body, the soul, the mind and the spirit and be with people who will share this habit.
12 Sleep, comfort, nurturing and companionship will sustain and lengthen your life.
13 Chasing money or trying to control others will sap your strength and not bring you the happiness or power you envisioned it would.
14 Happy memories are the basis of a good old age.
15 Creating something with your hands is one of the most satisfying things you can do.
