My mom sent me an email. You know the one that you don't really care about cause you know it is going to be sappy and sentimental and you really don't feel up to it right now. But I read it. A number of life lessons from an unknown author. Some I really enjoyed. Mostly because they are words to live by. They are words I try to live by anyways.
Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.
Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
Frame every so-called disaster with these words: "In five years, will this matter?"
Forgive everyone everything.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.
If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful , or joyful.

This poem kind of reminds me of that one song with all the advice. "Wear Sunscreen" - I always loved song. I need to go download that one now that I think about it.
