This is What I Believe…
Around the age of 50, I decided to write down a few things I believed about life. Since that time, I have revisited the list each year (around my birthday) to add or take away items if my perspective has changed. I hope over the years, my boys and my grandchildren will find it helpful when looking for direction. I always like the idea that we need to leave the world a little better than we found it. This is my attempt.
Do what you love
Your job is not your life, It just helps you enjoy it.
The older you get, the faster time goes by.
Pretty girls are always nice to look at.
If your lover is also your best friend…you win!
Happiness is a choice.
It’s OK to hug people.
Don’t hold grudges; they only hurt you.
Stay away from negative people!
If you don’t try to make the world a little better, then why are you here?
Your credit score is important
Smartphones have a tendency to take over your life.
It takes A LOT longer to recover from a hanger over the older you get
You really should take a few risks in life.
I will never be President, even though my mom said I could.
Say I love you to people you care about.
Smile
Give Hugs
Everyone has a freaky side, no matter how hard they try to hide it.
Pay a little more and get what you want.
Not everyone will like you.
Girls prefer a sense of humor and confidence over looks
Sex will always be important…just not the most important
It’s ok to cry if you're sad
The older you get, the less patience you have for stupidity and incompetence.
If you let someone borrow money, never expect to get it back. Consider it a gift.
You will miss your kids when they leave home more than you can imagine.
It really is all about perspective
No one wants to follow a pessimist
at some point in life; you can see the end, and you need to embrace it.
A good walk can clear your mind.
God is real and believes in you even when you don’t believe in him.
