♥ Life is not tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.♥

No I am not copy-pasting it. Re-reading it countless times , I am typing all the 50 points so that they seep in me. Thank you Regina Brett for your 50 Life Lessons.


Life isn't fair but it's still good.

♥ When in doubt, just take the next small step.

♥ Life is too short to waste time in hating anyone.

♥ Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

♥ Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

♥ Pay off your credit cards every month.

♥ You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

♥ Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

♥ When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take NO for an answer.

♥ However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

♥ Growing old beats the alternative- dying young.


Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.

♥ Get outside everyday. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we would grab our back.

♥ Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

♥ Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.


♥ All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

The best is yet to come.

♥ Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

If you don't ask, you don't get.

♥ Yield.

Life is not tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.
