They say, “We only live once. But if we do it WRONG, once is more than enough.” 🤔
After decades of travelling around the sun ☀️, I learned that:
* Peace is key to happiness. Always protect your peace.
* As we grow older, we gain better understanding and higher tolerance of others.
* Everyone is fighting their own battles. Choose your own.
* It is easy to get angry, but true strength is staying calm when the fire is high. It takes years of practice.
* Love and appreciate our parents more. They gave up their precious lifetime for us.
* Being grateful has no end and boundaries. There are many things to be thankful for.
* Finding your passion and doing it, makes life fuller. But knowing without doing is a tragedy.
* Protect the weak and cherish the most important people in our lives.
* Treasure every encounter, for it could be the last one.
* Build your inner circle, for they are your strength. And keep God at the centre.
* When the clock eventually runs out, go down swinging without regrets.
* Life is beautiful with all its imperfections. Enjoy it. 🤗
So I’ll leave you with this, “We only live once. But a life WELL-LIVED is more than enough.“ 💕
