Advice from a 90-year-old lady

Her advice as follows:
1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next smallstep.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

8. It’s OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
9. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

21. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
22. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.

24. The best is yet to come.
25. Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.”

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny. Friends are the family that we choose for ourselves.
