Evolution of love

I am the "7%

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."

Friends are the family and family is best friends that you choose.
