To celebrate growing older, 90-years-old once wrote some lessons life taught her. It is the most requested column she has ever written.
Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
Time heals almost everything. Give time a little time.
When in doubt, just take the next small step.
Don't compare your life to others.
You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
Make peace with your past so it won't mess up the present.
The most important organ is the brain.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.
When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
Take a deep breath every now and then. It calms the mind.
No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
'Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.
It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.
Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy clothes. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
Forgive others and yourself.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
Everything can change in the blink of an eye,
but don’t worry, God never blinks.
Growing old Beats the alternative of dying young.
Your children get only one childhood.
It’s OK to let your children see you cry.
Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
Pay off your credit cards every month. And saving for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back.
God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
Believe in miracles.
If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
All that truly matters, in the end, is that you loved.
Envy is waste of time.
Accept what you already have, not what you need.
Yield. Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.
Over prepare, then go with the flow.
Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
Always choose life.
The best is yet to come…
Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
