13 Things to remember...
1. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
2. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
3. Don't over do it. Know your limits and keep your limits (I need to practice this).
4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
5. Dream more while you are awake.
6. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
7. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner of his/her mistakes from the
past. That will ruin your present happiness.
8. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others. Not to mention, its a waste of energy. How exhausting!
9. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
10. No one is in charge of your happiness except you. (Amen)
11. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
12. Smile and laugh more.
13. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

Now this is great advice. I particularly like "dream more while you're awake" <--that's hard to do!
Oh, I agree with Claudia! One of my favorite quotes, but I forgot by who, is, "The man who wants his dreams to come true, must wake up." =)
It's a real good thing we each control our own lives. Goes back to Point #1, you know.
Very good advice. #9 is so important.
#12 is so important. Life is too short to dwell on the negative stuff!
Great list - especially 5.
I love #4. Maybe because I don't take many things seriously, so it's a little reassuring. ;)
Great list. I do love Thursday 13!
This is good advice for everyone to follow! I like the "smile" one - that is so important.
I really like #4 and 5!!!!!
My 13 is posted. What I see on the back of a cereal box...it's a fun 13 this week...come join me if you find time.
These are all wise words. Kewl list. Happy T13!
9, 10 and 12 really speak to me. Thanks for sharing.
Great post! #11 is my favorite. Happy TT.
Very wise words -- and some I needed to hear right now, too. Being sick has me in a funk.
Great reminders! I love reading inspiring quotes!
No kidding!
Wonderful reminders every one! It's hard to choose a favorite ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
This may double post because I got an error message, but it's important enough to repeat how much I appreciated this list and the beautiful reminder to us all.
Happy TT

Agreeing to disagree would short circuit a trillion problems in the blink of an eye. Wonderful list!
I enjoyed this list, but also how many different favorites all of your commenters have! Myself, I think #1 is a great foundation for many of the others.
I'm just dropping by to check out your site. It's pretty nifty. I'm gonna bookmark you and visit often, but before I go I'd like to invite you to my site for a visit. Hope to see you there.
