I printed it and will pin it on my board in the kitchen, just for me to see it everyday and remind me how to have a better life indeed! Thanks for sharing. Take care and have a nice day my friend! Merry Christmas! :)

hi cefaz! ^__^
are you a kitiki-texter?? ^__^ i have received the same message before and i really liked it especially numbers 1, 2 and 5. ^__^ here's something i can share (and a proof that i'm a kitiki-texter too LOL):
"When God takes away something away from your grasp, He's not punishing you but merely emptying your hand for you to receive a much bigger blessing."
"When life throws you lemons, make lemonade.
When life gives you craps, make quilts.
Life is 10% of what happens to you and 90% of how you respond to it."

Some very good advice and I think all are true. I think the first was the most difficult for me to learn but has made the biggest difference in my life.

Hello dear cefaz. Thank you very much for those helpful tips in life, which are full of great sense to us all. We would feel the very peace in our heart if we make peace with what has happened in the past. That is true indeed as what has happened shows the history of ours and we should not let influence our present life. Life is still going on and we need to pay more attention to the quality life that we are having now, struggling to live to the fullest.
I also agree with the second thoughts that we must not care about what the others think about us, as nobody is inactive in the mind. If we care too much about it, life would be very tough and harsh. We need to live always in a positive way with positive attitudes towards life.
Time is a great thing in helping cure every wound that we have had. That's why we say, "Time helps and cures."
It is another truth that we are the masters of our own fate. To be happy or to be upset is up to us to decide. Therefore we need to look at more of the best parts of things and people, and ignore more of the evil sides. Only when we have positive thoughts towards life can we live a happy life at least in our mental world.
As to the last point, that is right. As we know, people in different walks of life have different talents and abilities. If we are just trying our best to do what we are doing, even if we fail, we will still be successful in the future based on the failure experience if we make a detailed analysis to the reason why we fail. That is why we say, "Failure is the mother of success."
To make a long story short, I think all of these five thoughts in life are reasonable and helpful and useful so long as we want to enjoy more of our life and the world.
I appreciate your sharing with us the great message very much. Happy posting and have a good day, my dear friend.

Sounds like a good way to start the morning, or in my case, a good way to end the evening. It's my bed time, around 10:30pm, but I'm not too sleepy. I have a lot of discussions to catch up on since I was without power this week. It is always nice to see a discussion from you. : )

These are great thoughts. I need to remember some of them. I definitely like #1, make peace with your pst so it won't screw up the present. This is so true, if we dwell in the past and try to relive the past then the present and future is gonna be just as crappy as the past cause you are still living there. I just told someone that today. Funny that I came across this.
