*Beautiful life lessons*
_Written by *Regina Brett*, 90 years old, of the Plain b Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio_
_To celebrate growing older, I once wrote few lessons life taught me. It is the most requested column I've ever written._
1. *Life isn't fair, but it's still good.*
2. *When in doubt, just take the next small step.*
3. *Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and family will.*
4. *You don't have to win every argument. Stay true to yourself.*
5. *Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.*
6. *It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.*
7. *Make peace with your past so it won't mess up the present.*
8. *Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.*
9. *Take a deep breath every now and then. It calms the mind.*
10. *Get rid of anything that isn't useful. Clutter weighs you down in many ways.*
11. *Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.*
12. *It's never too late to be happy. But it’s all up to you and no one else.*
13. *When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.*
14. *Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy clothes. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.*
15. *No one is in charge of your happiness but you.*
16. *Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?'*
17. *Always choose life.*
18. *Forgive others and yourself.*
19. *What other people think of you is none of your business.*
20. *Time heals almost everything. Give time a little time.*
21. *However good or bad a situation is, it will change.*
22. *Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.*
23. *Believe in miracles.*
24. *God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.*
25. *Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.*
26. *Growing old beats the alternative of dying young.*
27. *Your children get only one childhood.*
28. *All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.*
29. *Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.*
30. *Envy is waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need.*
31. *The best is yet to come...*
32. *No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.*
33. *Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift."*
*Its worth reading again & again, as & when you can.*😊. copied
