Don&#8217;t waste your precious energy on gossip<\/p>\n<p>6. Dream more while you are awake\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>7. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..<\/p>\n<p>8. Forget issues of the past. Don&#8217;t remind your partner of his\/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.<\/p>\n<p>9. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don&#8217;t hate others.<\/p>\n<p>10. Make peace with your past so it won&#8217;t spoil the present<\/p>\n<p>11. <strong>No one is in charge of your happiness except you<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>13. Smile and laugh more<\/p>\n<p>14. You don&#8217;t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.<\/p>\n<p>15.\u00a0 <strong>Negativity starts with you.

What other people think of you is none of your business. You cannot control how others feel.<\/p>\n<p>25. <strong>Your job <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">will not<\/span> take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will.

Put GOD first in anything and everything that you think, say and do.<\/p>\n<p>27. GOD heals everything<\/p>\n<p>28. Do the right things<\/p>\n<p>29. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Nothing could ever remain the same<\/p>\n<p>30. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up<\/p>\n<p>31. The best is yet to come<\/p>\n<p>32. Get rid of anything that isn&#8217;t useful, beautiful or joyful<\/p>\n<p>33. <strong>When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD for it<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>34.
