5. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.


6. Play more games and read more books than you did in 2008.

28. REMEMBER GOD heals everything.


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


30. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch..


31. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.


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

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

40. Please Forward this to everyone you care about. I just did. May your troubles be less, May your blessings be more, May nothing but happiness come through your door!

Nice tips..thanks for sharing it with us..

[Edwin]

That is a very nice list!

[crisipicada]

life on earth is full of stress and full of dissatisfaction. When we have something, we are still looking for a better one. So there is only one that can satisfy us and that is the Lord Jesus. Give your heart to Him and He will feel your empty heart.

Yes, only Jesus truly satisfies!

Another list that makes sense:

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue!
2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
3 * Drive carefully...it's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker.
4 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
5 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
6 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
7 * Never buy a car you can't push.
8 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
9 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
10 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
11 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
12 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
13 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
14 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
15 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.
