-   Smile and laugh more.
-   Don’t waste your precious energy or time on gossip.
-   Forget issues of the past. They’ll just ruin your present happiness.
-   Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
-   Realise that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

-   Life is too short to waste time hating anyone, so don’t even try.
-   Don’t take yourself so seriously.
-   You don’t have to win every argument. Just agree to disagree.

-   Don’t compare your partner with others either.
-   What other people think of you is none of your business.
-   No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
-   However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
-   Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
-   Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
-   Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
-   No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
-   Call your family often.
-   Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
-   Each day give something good to others.
-   Don’t over do it. Keep your limits.
-   Always at the very least, try.
