So many different view points, advisories, and lists of what to do for the new year and decade have bombarded my email and RSS feeds over the past several days.  It’s expected and for the good or bad of it, I generally superficially scan most, choose not to pass on, and drop into the deleted folder.

The following came to me, ultimately by accident I believe, but caught my eye to read through.  Lists are great that way, just doesn’t seem that long or as much work to get through.

Anyways, I like this nearly top to bottom and hope that you enjoy it as well.

Health:
1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured (processed)
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm and Empathy
5. Make time to pray.
6. Play more games
7. Read more books than you did in 2009 .
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day
9. Sleep for 7 hours.
10.Take a 10-30 minutes walk daily. And while you walk, smile.

Personality:
11. Don’t compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive

13. Don’t over do. Keep your limits. (I suggest continually test/push your limits)
14. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake
17. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need..
18. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.

20. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn.  Problems (Challenges) are simply part of the curriculum

that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.

30.    What other people think of you is none of your business.
31.    Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.

Life:
