These are really amazing thoughts! I tweeted several of these. My favorite is finding what makes you smile and do more of it. And waiting time on things that don’t really matter is a huge issue of mine. If I can’t come home and tell my wife and daughter what I did today, it was a waste of a day!

passages that resonated with me:
9. You know what the hamburger at Applebee’s tastes like. It’s time to figure something else out.
10. Results are always more important than the time it takes to achieve them.
13. The ones who win the race in the long run are usually not the quickest or slickest, but the ones who have endured the most.

At 67 I can tell you that every one of these suggestions is correct and will make you stronger and happier…. Go for a walk and a chat with someone you’re fond of every day; your mind and your body will benefit hugely! And on the subject of kindness: be as kind to yourself as you would be to any one you knew who found themselves in a similar position. But mainly – enjoy your life, it’s shorter than you think!

Hello! I used to know a lot of this information, but lost it (somewhere in the disempowering depressing depths of job hunting, or the pressures of school, or being a slave to my moods, or being unable to cope with worry). So I feel reading this was very helpful! I’m a lot more receptive to these ideas now that I know they aren’t just “nice little add-ons to a life that’s already good” but an alternative to a life that I don’t want to live anymore.
I just had a moment of insight there after writing that last sentence… I looked back at it and caught a glimpse of the phrase “a life that I don’t want to live anymore” and did a double-take. That wasn’t me writing that! I’ve never been suicidal in my life (knock on wood). But it looks like things are bad enough that I’m willing to change. Like the lightbulb joke (how many psychologists does it take to change a lightbulb? Just one but it has to want to change.)

After I started on a really grateful and positive way of life, my Dad passed away in January this year and I feel so lost! Just looking for some positive thoughts to get me back on track. You make some very outstanding points that I will be pondering on. Thanks. 🙂

I woke up this morning extremely depressed and hating where I am in life at 27. I think I needed to read this right now. It’s all true and I know I’ve spent most of my life thinking and doing things the wrong way and letting everyone else and myself beat me down. I need to break this damaging chain and cycle once and for all. I’m really going to start thinking more deeply on all these concepts so that I can be happy, not miserable and wasting days. Thank you for writing this.

A young lady named Danielle Kaitlyn Bargo. Sent this to me today September 2, 2016. I like the way you bring so much insight into a grieving soul. Thank You, so very much for reminding me that I am worth more than I give myself credit for.
