Three things you have learned in life
Joy L05-Apr-22
As we get older, there are always things we learn.
What are the 3 best things you have learned.
Mine are:
Always treat people as you would like to be treated,
Laugh a lot, no-one is getting away from here alive
Love lots and tell people you love them, you never know if it will be the last time you see them.

      Life is short so love life and live it! Prioritize our health as no amount of money or success matters once you get sick. Last but the most important is to live our lives through the eyes of God.

            1) Obedience is better than sacrifice. 2) Age is just a number, not a sentence. 3) Miracles are forever, but they don't just happen. You have to make them happen!

                If you look at the big picture, very few things we worry about are important. Wisdom, sadly, comes with age. We are here to learn to be better people and to feed our soul with what makes the world a better place. God has His plan, but we have free will.

                  always say positive things today, you might never see that person again, try to do something that some-one will thank you for and make you feel good, go out of your way to do a good deed for someone each day

                    Don't put off doing things for tomorrow, talk to your parents and tell them you love them because a day might come when it will be too late and the most important one for me do not waste your time on what others think of you because it really doesn't matter as long as you are happy.

                                                  Make time each day for your children - they grow up too fast Be grateful every day when you wake up and be thankful that you have another day to bring a smile to someone's face. A kind word is worth more than you can imagine - so make it your purpose to give a kind word to someone each day

                                                        1. Treat people how you wish to be treated. 2. A lesson not learned means you're doomed to repeat it until you learn the lesson. 3.It's crucial for a woman to be emotionally intelligent.

                                                            Well I have learnt not to forgive so easily as you will just get burnt again and be careful who you give your heart to as there are some out there that just don't care what they put others through as long as they get what they think they deserve plus a whole lot more. Happier now with some one decent but there are still issues we don't agree on, life just aint perfect 100% of the time.

How much will it cost?, 3. How will you pay for it? If you can answer these 3 questions then you're on top of life! :-)

Against the institutions of religion but if someone has faith and is good and honest and not hypocritical and prays in their own way I see this as OK. You do not have to go to church to have faith.
