—I’VE GOT THAT SUNSHINE

  

Regina Brett, God Never Blinks

 

1.   Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.

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

3.   Life is too short to spend time hating anyone.

4.   Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

5.   You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

6.   Cry with someone. It’s more healing than crying alone.

7.   Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.

8.   It’s okay to let your children see you cry.

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

10.        Life is too short for long pity parties. Get busy living, or busy dying.

11.        You can get through anything if you stay put in today.

12.        A writer writes. If you want to be a writer, write. 

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

14.        When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.

15.        Over-prepare, then go with the flow.

16.        Be eccentric now. Don’t wait for old age to wear purple.

17.        The most important sex organ is the brain.

18.        No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

19.        Frame every so-called disaster with these words: “In five years, will this matter?”

20.        Forgive everyone everything.

21.        What other people think of you is none of your business.

22.        Time heals almost everything. Give time time.

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

24.        Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

25.        Believe in miracles.

26.        Your children get only one childhood. Make is memorable.

27.        Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

28.         If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back

29.        Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

30.        The best is yet to come.

31.        No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, and show up.

32.        Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

33.        If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

34.        Yield.

35.        Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a gift.

36.        Don’t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

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

38.        Burn the candles; use the nice sheets; wear the fancy lingerie. Don’t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
