Hello, God. It's me, Mara.

Tips on enjoying life

You know, Lord, sometimes we need to have some encouragement and tips on how to enjoy life. Found this to share:

TIPS ON ENJOYING LIFE: ~ Say something positive as early in the day as possible. Believe in miracles, but don’t depend on them. Seek respect rather popularity; quality rather than luxury. If your mom says “you’ll regret it” —  you probably will.

Be happy with what you have while working on what you want. Celebrate even small victories. When in doubt, smile. Spend time with people who are little bit better than you. Don’t write something you don’t want others to read.

Become the world’s most thoughtful friend. Anything worth doing is going to take longer than you think. Accept triumph and defeat with equal grace. It’s not your job to get people to like you; it’s your job to like people.

Stand up for your principles, even if you have to stand alone. If you know you are going to lose, do it with style.

Read something no one else is reading; Think something no one else is thinking; And do something no one else is doing.

Work diligently. Give generously. Pray faithfully. Love deeply.

And today’s thought — It takes a long time to become the person you want to be.

Here’s a few other tips from a different source. Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.

Connect with people: Humans are social animals, and interacting with people with whom you have made a trusting relationship will give you a sense of belongingness and happiness.

Hate less and love more. Many people nowadays love to hate and hate to love; don’t be one of them.

And then a word from You, oh Lord: “He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge.” Psalm 91:4.

Love, Mara
