62 punkter från en 62-åring

Hittade en underhållande artikel på Medium där en 62-årig man ger sin syn på saker i livet. Självklart med 62 punkter. För roligt för att inte dela.

  • If it doesn’t bring you joy, stop doing it.
  • If you’re having a hard time making a decision, listen to your intuition (your gut feelings).
  • There’s no such thing as failure; you win or learn.
  • Never beg for anyone’s attention.
  • There isn’t a single person on the planet who is entitled to treat you like shit.
  • Follow your heart; it knows the way.
  • Never lash out when you’re angry; hurtful words last longer than apologies.
  • Don’t follow the crowd; most of them don’t know where they’re going.
  • Learn to pick your battles.
  • Life isn’t a dress rehearsal; you don’t get a second chance.
  • Say what you mean.
  • If someone asks for an honest opinion, double-check to make sure they really want one.
  • Arguing with a fool only proves there are two.
  • It’s ok to unfollow/block/delete people in real life.
  • If you’re tired, rest.
  • Don’t worry about what other people think of you; most of them don’t even think highly of themselves.
  • No one is better than you — we’re all equals.
  • If a ‘good person’ mistreats an animal, they are not a good person.
  • Watch what people do, not what they say. This will tell you everything you need to know about them.
  • You’re not stuck anywhere; you’re not a tree.
  • If you aren’t going to do anything about your problems, you don’t have the right to complain about them. You chose to keep them.
  • It’s ok to be honest, it’s not ok to be rude.
  • You show people how to treat you.
  • Hurt people hurt people, and it has nothing to do with you.
  • A hug is a powerful thing.
  • Not everyone needs advice; sometimes, they just need an ear to listen while they vent or cry.
  • A smile is the most beautiful thing you can wear.
  • Everyone has a story. Don’t judge a person by the chapter you walked in on.
  • If you don’t like your job, get a new one. If you can’t find one, create one.
  • Expectation leads to disappointment.
  • Take better care of your body, as if your life depends on it because it does.
  • No one’s life is perfect.
  • Everything is temporary, the good and the bad.
  • Listen to your body more; it will tell you what it needs.
  • Don’t waste your money on cosmetic surgery; you’re beautiful just as you are.
  • Some of the things we hold on to most are the things we need to let go of.
  • Trust your intuition more.
  • If you think negative thoughts, you will have a negative life. Do yourself a favour — think more positive thoughts.
  • If someone wants to leave your life, let them go.
  • Not everyone who smiles at you is your friend. 40
  • You won’t always get the closure you deserve — move on.
  • Forgiveness will set you free.
  • If you have no good reasons to stay, it’s time to go.
  • Your healing is your responsibility. If you don’t heal, you will bleed all over those who didn’t cut you (this is a Nikita Gill quote, but it’s so powerful)
  • Never give up. Your miracle could be right around the corner.
  • You don’t need to show up to every argument.
  • Stop wasting your time on the wrong people.
  • You will never find happiness in people, places, or things. It’s already inside of you.
  • Money doesn’t buy happiness — it just makes life a little easier.
  • The people you gossip with most likely gossip about you after you leave.
  • If you don’t try, how will you know?
  • Smile at strangers — you may be the only one who smiled at them that day.
  • Don’t pretend to be someone you’re not to make people who don’t matter like you.
  • If you don’t love yourself, how will others know how to love you?
  • Don’t set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
  • Just be yourself; the right people will gravitate.
  • Never run back to what destroyed you. Nothing has changed.
  • You’ll be less stressed and a lot happier when you stop trying to control people and things.
  • One day, you’ll realize that peace of mind is far more important than proving a point.
  • There is no time frame for grief.
  • If the door doesn’t open, keep knocking. You won’t know if it’s your door or not if you walk away.
  • Travel cures racism.
