Just overheard a couple celebrating their 25 years together, 20 married. Just paid for their beers. Small things.

It’s as important to know what you won’t do as what you will/want to do in the new year. That’s why I have a Do Not Do List to remind myself of the things to avoid in life. If you don’t write it down, you will forget or slip into doing those items you want to avoid.

“I don’t write life. I write fiction. Life is to be lived, not read.”

“Live to your strengths.”

Envy is just a form of jealousy. Who are you jealous of? The rich, powerful, or the celebrities? Jealousy is a form of self-deprecation and degradation. You are complete as you are. You can be better, without using those you are jealous of as role models.

Let go of the things that don’t matter. There are no people who don’t matter.

Stop making the same promises/resolutions you make every year but never accomplish. Accept that if you were going to do it, you would have done it by now. Focus on what you know will achieve and on improving what you can.

Make friends, not fear.

Be compassionate to others as well as yourself.
