Want to know what you can do to make your life fantastic?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Want to have a fantastic life?\u00a0 Try doing at least two of these things each day\u2026<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Take a walk every day for at least 15 minutes.\u00a0 As you walk, smile.\u00a0 This is a great way to combat depression.<\/li>\n
  2. Sit in silence at least 10 minutes each day.<\/li>\n
  3. Eat more foods that grow on plants and less food that people manufacture in plants. Grow some plants and produce your own food if you can.<\/li>\n
  4. Try to make at least three people smile each day.<\/li>\n
  5. Don\u2019t waste your valuable energy on gossip, toxic people, past issues, and things you cannot control. Invest your energy in positives in your present life.<\/li>\n
  6. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a college kid with a maxed out credit card.<\/li>\n
  7. Remind yourself that life is not fair, but it is still good.<\/li>\n
  8. Forgive others. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.<\/li>\n
  9. Don\u2019t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.<\/li>\n
  10. Agree to disagree instead of trying to win every argument.<\/li>\n
  11. Make peace with your past so it does not spoil your present.<\/li>\n
  12. Don\u2019t compare yourself to others. You have no idea what they are going though.<\/li>\n
  13. Always remember that no one is in charge of your happiness but you.<\/li>\n
  14. When you start to get upset about something, ask yourself, \u201cIn five years, will this matter?\u201d<\/li>\n
  15. Help others! Be a giver not a taker!<\/li>\n
  16. Never forget that what others think of you is none of your business.<\/li>\n
  17. Remember this: however bad your current situation is, it will change.<\/li>\n
  18. Your job will not take care of you when you are sick, but your friends will. Stay in touch.<\/li>\n
  19. Before you go to bed each night, be thankful for what you have accomplished today. Regardless of how unimportant your accomplishments may seem.<\/li>\n
  20. Consider yourself too blessed to be stressed.<\/li>\n
  21. Never allow a bully to get to you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Today I was feeling very frustrated and had to remind myself of these things.\u00a0 So I am telling you, too.<\/p>\n

    Please always remember that the quality of your life depends on you, not on the world around you. You can have a fantastic life!<\/p>\n
