10 THINGS, TIME HAS TAUGHT ME

1. Most of our life is spent, chasing false goals and worshipping false ideals. The day you realize that, is the day, you really start to live.

2. You really, truly, cannot please, all of the people, all of the time. Please your-self first, and your loved ones, second, everyone else is busy, pleasing themselves, anyway, trust me.

3. Fighting the ageing process is like, trying to catch the wind. Go with it, enjoy it. Your body is changing, but, it always, has been. Don’t waste time, trying to reverse that, instead change your mindset to see, the beauty in the new.

4. Nobody is perfect, and nobody is truly happy, with their lot. When, that sinks in, you are free of comparison, and free of judgement. It’s truly liberating.

5. No one really sees, what you do right, everyone sees, what you do wrong. When that becomes clear to you, you will start doing things, for the right reason and, you will start having, so much more, fun.

6. You will regret the years, you spent berating your looks, the sooner you can make peace, with the vessel your soul lives in, the better. Your body is amazing and important, but it does not define you.

7. Your health is obviously important, but stress, fear and worry are, far more damaging than, any delicious food or drink you may deny yourself. Happiness and peace, are the best medicine.

8. Who, will remember you, and for what, become important factors, as you age. Your love, and your wisdom, will live on far longer, than any material things, you can pass down. Tell your stories, they can travel farther, than you can imagine.

9. We are not here, for long, but if you are living against the wind, it can feel like a life-sentence. Life should not feel like a chore; it should feel like an adventure.

10. Always, always, drink the good champagne, and use the things you keep, for ‘best’. Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one. Today is a gift that’s why we call it the present. 

Eat, Drink & Be Merry.
