TWENTY TRUTHS TO REMEMBER
2. If you worry, you didn’t pray. If you pray, don’t worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God: I have a problem. It’s me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day, it’s like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional.
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it’s just hearsay.
18. It’s all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you’re seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

A Debt is a stain on life.
Because the specia1 offer on “How to Own Your Paychec.k Again” ends tonight (see ad above), I thought I would share this quote from my happiness book with you
“Mone.y can’t buy happiness. Well, actually it can. On Skid Row, a little extra mone.y can make a big difference. Wealth and health share this in common: they don’t bring joy, but their absence can leave pure misery.”
In fact, studies show that the amount of mone.y we require for happiness is the amount to pay for the basic necessities without worrying that we will fall short. Above that level, mone.y can buy us comfort, convenience and other things, but not happiness.
Deb.t, on the other hand, can buy us complete misery, precisely because because we are falling short of what we need for basic necessities.
– So, get out of deb.t.
– Stay out of deb.t.
– Chase more mone.y if you wish, but to get there you should never sacrifice something that can bring happiness.

Critics are remembered
هوئي مــــدة كه “غالب” مر ككيا ثثر يـــاد آتـــا هسس
وه هر ايك بات ثثه كهنا كه يوطط هوتا تو كيا هوتا
BTW, I am sure like Ghalib I will also be remembered as the most staunchest critic around and you might miss my warning signals too.
