The 10 most important things I have learned in Life

In life we learn and we grow. It's been said if you think the same way you did 10 years ago, you didn't learn anything. So I just wanted to take a few minutes to share the top 10 things that I have learned in my life.


1. There is a GOD and he is much bigger than you are I - if you don't believe me - test him.
2. Love is the most powerful thing on the planet. It's the reason that you and I exist. Love can change the world.
3. Don't ever put your faith in another person or become co-dependent. Sometimes better to walk away then stay, just for the sake of staying.
4. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
5. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
6. Everything in moderation. If you have an addiction towards alcohol, religion, work, cigarettes, candy, people, etc... this should be broken.
7. Choose your friends and associations wisely, as you will become like the 5 people you spend the most time with.
8. Education is important, but not as important as self education and renewing your mind daily with good uplifting books, music, audio, etc..: The Bible, Think and Grow Rich, As a Man Thinketh, etc...
9. You can fail at everything in life, but there is no option for failure in parenthood - love your kids and spend as much time with them as possible.
10. Be authentic and true to yourself. Don't ever become anything to please somebody else - you will be miserable. God gave you a purpose - find it, and run with it.

How long took you John, before you felt strong about these 10 pointers?
I like to add a group of words that if we all agree...this world would be a better pleasant place to live (-:

To help others and expect nothing in return, one of the best feelings ever!

Thanks John,
