My odometer rolled<br \/>\nover to 90 in August, so here goes:<\/p>\n<p>1.  Life isn&#8217;t fair, but it&#8217;s still good<br \/>\n2.  When in doubt, just take the next small step.<br \/>\n3.  Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.<br \/>\n4.  Don&#8217;t take yourself so seriously.  No one else does.<br \/>\n5.  Pay off your credit cards every month.<br \/>\n6.  You don&#8217;t have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.<br \/>\n7.  Cry with someone.  It&#8217;s more healing than crying alone.<br \/>\n8.  It&#8217;s OK to get angry with God.  He can take it.<br \/>\n9.  Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.<br \/>\n10. Love  your parents because they will be gone before you know it.<br \/>\n11. Make peace with your past so it won&#8217;t screw up the present.<br \/>\n12. It&#8217;s OK to let your children see you cry<br \/>\n13. Don&#8217;t compare your life to others&#8217;..  You have no idea what their journey is all about.<br \/>\n14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn&#8217;t be in it.<br \/>\n15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye.  But don&#8217;t worry; God never blinks.<br \/>\n16. Take a deep breath.  It calms the mind.<br \/>\n17. Get rid of anything that isn&#8217;t useful, beautiful or joyful.<br \/>\n18. Whatever doesn&#8217;t kill you really does make you stronger.<br \/>\n19. It&#8217;s never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.<br \/>\n20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don&#8217;t take no for an answer.<br \/>\n21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don&#8217;t save it for a special occasion.  Today is special.<br \/>\n22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.<br \/>\n23. Be eccentric now.  Don&#8217;t wait for old age to wear purple.<br \/>\n24. The most important sex organ is the brain.<br \/>\n25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.<br \/>\n26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words:   &#8216;In five years, will this matter?<br \/>\n27. Always choose life.<br \/>\n28. Forgive everyone everything.<br \/>\n29. What other people think of you is none of your business.<br \/>\n30. Time heals almost everything.  Give time time.<br \/>\n31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.<br \/>\n32. Your job won&#8217;t take care of you when you are sick.  Your friends and parents will.  Stay in touch.<br \/>\n33. Believe in miracles.<br \/>\n34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn&#8217;t do.<br \/>\n35. Don&#8217;t audit life.  Show up and make the most of it now.<br \/>\n36. Growing old beats the alternative &#8212; dying young.<br \/>\n37. Your children get only one childhood.<br \/>\n38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.<br \/>\n39. Get outside every day.  Miracles are waiting everywhere.<br \/>\n40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else&#8217;s, we&#8217;d grab ours back.<br \/>\n41. Envy is a waste of time.  You already have all you need.<br \/>\n42. The best is yet to come.<br \/>\n43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.<br \/>\n44. Yield.<br \/>\n45. Life isn&#8217;t tied with a bow, but it&#8217;s still a gift.<\/p>\n<p>Para celebrar que envejec\u00eda una vez escrib\u00ed 45 lecciones que la vida me ense\u00f1\u00f3.<br \/>\nEs la columna m\u00e1s le\u00edda que he escrito.<br \/>\nEn agosto cumpl\u00ed  90 a\u00f1os, as\u00ed que decid\u00ed publicar la columna una vez m\u00e1s:<\/p>\n<p>1. La vida no es justa, pero a\u00fan as\u00ed es buena.<br \/>\n2. Cuando tengas una duda, s\u00f3lo toma el siguiente paso peque\u00f1o que venga.<br \/>\n3. La vida es muy corta como para gastar tiempo odiando a alguien.<br \/>\n4. Tu trabajo no se encargar\u00e1 de ti cuando te enfermes, tus amigos y padres lo har\u00e1n. Mantente en contacto con ellos.<br \/>\n5. Paga tus tarjetas de cr\u00e9dito cada mes.<br \/>\n6. No tienes que ganar cada discusi\u00f3n. Acuerda en que desacuerdas.<br \/>\n7. Llora con alguien. Te sana m\u00e1s que llorar solo.<br \/>\n8. Est\u00e1 bien enojarse con Dios, \u00c9L lo puede soportar.<br \/>\n9. Ahorra para tu jubilaci\u00f3n empezando desde el primer cheque, y si tienes dinero comp\u00e1rtelo con tus amigos que mas estimas, los de la  juventud.<br \/>\n10. Cuando se trata de chocolate, resistirse es in\u00fatil.<br \/>\n11. Haz paz con tu pasado, as\u00ed no te malograr\u00e1 tu presente.<br \/>\n12. Est\u00e1 bien dejar que tus hijos te vean llorar.<br \/>\n13. No te compares con otros. No tienes idea del viaje que ellos llevan.<br \/>\n14. Si una relaci\u00f3n debe ser en secreto, entonces no deber\u00edas estar en ella.<br \/>\n15. Todo puede cambiar con un solo pesta\u00f1ear. Pero no te preocupes, Dios nunca pesta\u00f1ea.<br \/>\n16. Respira profundo. Relaja la mente.<br \/>\n17. Deshazte de todo lo que no sea \u00fatil, bonito o alegre.<br \/>\n18. Lo que no te mata, de verdad te hace m\u00e1s fuerte.<br \/>\n19. Nunca es tarde para tener una infancia feliz. Pero la segunda depende de ti y de nadie m\u00e1s.<br \/>\n20. Cuando se trata de ir tras lo que amas en la vida, no tomes un NO como respuesta.<br \/>\n21. Quema las velas, usa los manteles finos, ponte lencer\u00eda fina. No los guardes para ocasiones especiales, hoy es especial.<br \/>\n22. Prep\u00e1rate mucho, despu\u00e9s anda con la corriente.<br \/>\n23. Se exc\u00e9ntrico ahora. No esperes a ser viejo para usar p\u00farpura.<br \/>\n24. El \u00f3rgano sexual m\u00e1s importante es el cerebro.<br \/>\n25. Nadie est\u00e1 a cargo de tu felicidad, excepto t\u00fa.<br \/>\n26. Etiqueta cada uno de esos llamados desastres con esta frase: &#8220;En 5 a\u00f1os, \u00bfesto importar\u00e1?&#8221;<br \/>\n27. Siempre escoge la vida.<br \/>\n28. Perdona a todo y a todos.<br \/>\n29. Lo que otros piensan de ti no es tu problema.<br \/>\n30. El tiempo cura casi todo. Dale o date tiempo.<br \/>\n31. Por m\u00e1s buena o mala que una situaci\u00f3n sea, va a cambiar.<br \/>\n32. No te tomes tan en serio. Nadie m\u00e1s lo hace.<br \/>\n33. Cree en los milagros.<br \/>\n34. Dios te ama por quien eres, no por nada que hayas hecho o dejado de hacer.<br \/>\n35. No audiciones para la vida. Pres\u00e9ntate y haz lo mejor de ella.<br \/>\n36. Envejecer es una mejor alternativa que morir joven.<br \/>\n37. Tus hijos solo tienen una infancia.<br \/>\n38. Todo lo que importa al final es que hayas amado.<br \/>\n39. Sal todos los d\u00edas. Los milagros est\u00e1n esperando en todas partes.<br \/>\n40. Si todos tir\u00e1ramos nuestros problemas en una fuente y vi\u00e9ramos los problemas del resto, agarrar\u00edamos nuestro saco de nuevo.<br \/>\n41. La envidia es una p\u00e9rdida de tiempo. Ya tienes todo lo que necesitas.<br \/>\n42. Lo mejor est\u00e1 por venir.<br \/>\n43. No importa c\u00f3mo te sientas, lev\u00e1ntate, c\u00e1mbiate y<br \/>\npres\u00e9ntate.<br \/>\n44. Cede.<br \/>\n45. La vida no tiene un mo\u00f1o encima, pero a\u00fan as\u00ed es un regalo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I thopught I would share this with our community.
