It caught my eye because I am 40 this year and it has been a great year. Sure you can read the whole article but just these snippets did it for me.
If you see someone in distress, don't hesitate to talk to them. Once you've heard their story, sometimes all you have to say is "I'll be thinking of you." Your words are more powerful than you think.
When you're weighing an opportunity, make the question that simple: "Do I really want this, or am I doing it for the money or the prestige or because I think I should?" It can't just be about those things. It has to make you feel good, too.
And when someone pops into your mind, let them know, even if it's just with a "Thinking of you" text. Don't let the moment pass; treat it as a reminder to reach out.
The thing that's grand about spending your time thinking about the universe is that it makes you feel insignificant. I don't mean that in a bad way.
Sing with joy, from your heart, and no one will care how you sound.
It's important to be part of a community!
You have to find a way forward. You can say, "I'm
going to work to improve myself so I never hurt another person that way." And
then you need to atone, to make the lesson you learned mean something. Do this,
and you will be able to look in the mirror again.
Anger is like a storm rising up from the bottom of your consciousness. ...... And when compassion appears, anger is deleted.
If you don't feel a shiver of excitement or fear, if there's no emotional risk
involved, let it go.
Everything we experience--no matter how unpleasant--comes into our lives to
teach us something. To move on from something difficult, look for the lesson.
Best of 2012 (for me)
1. spending more time with Superdude (he almost was deployed)
2. special real moments with loved ones-I will remember them
3. seeing the Smoky Mountains in person and a place called Chimneys
4. quiet talks with Supergirl, the most amazing 10 year old I know
5. loud laughing until I snort or wheeze (has happened a few times this year)
6. petting my fur friends
7. watching the sunset as much as possible, sky watching and ozark weather
8. writing this blog-yep that is true
9. doing a 10 day fast (master cleanse)--yes I did.
10. having a very good job and making jewelry when I feel like it
