another quotable from a Facebook post:
THINGS TIME
HAS TAUGHT ME.
1. Most of our life is spent chasing false goals
and worshipping false ideals. The day you realise that is the day you really
start to live.
2. You really, truly cannot please all of the
people all of the time. Please yourself first and your loved ones second,
everyone else is busy pleasing themselves anyway, trust me.
3. Fighting the ageing process is like trying to
catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but it always has
been. Don’t waste time trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to
see the beauty in the new.
4. Nobody is perfect and nobody is truly happy
with their lot. When that sinks in you are free of comparison and free of
judgement. It’s truly liberating.
5. No one really sees what you do right,
everyone sees what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start
doing things for the right reason and you will start having so much more fun.
6. You will regret the years you spent berating
your looks, the sooner you can make peace with the vessel your soul lives in,
the better. Your body is amazing and important but it does not define you.
7. Your health is obviously important but
stress, fear and worry are far more damaging than any delicious food or drink
you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace are the best medicine.
8. Who will remember you and for what, become
important factors as you age. Your love and your wisdom will live on far longer
than any material thing you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel
farther than you can imagine.
9. We are not here for long but if you are
living against the wind it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel
like a chore, it should feel like an adventure.
10. Always, always, drink the good champagne and
use the things you keep for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is
a gift that’s why we call it the present. Eat, Drink & Be Merry.
