I turned 50 on April 14th, then two days later I spent the day in Paris.
I woke up on my birthday and had these thoughts and wanted to share it with you, enjoy!
THOUGHTS FROM A 50 YEAR OLD
Today is my 50th Birthday, I honestly can’t believe it! I don’t feel 50, I definitely don’t act 50 and hopefully I never look 50, ha ha! 50 years of life has taught me a few lessons no doubt!
I wish I could say that what I’ve learned came from all my successes and good decisions, but the truth is I’ve learned most my lessons from hardships, struggles and bad choices.
50 Things I’ve Learned: (This is my list, your list will be different)
1) Life is what you make it for the most part.
Meaning, many of our problems WE CAUSE by poor decisions, just as good decisions make life better. i.e. Eating right and regular exercise leads to better health typically, and Twinkies, Ding Dongs and fast food lead to poor health typically. This is true when it comes to every area of life ... career, relationships, etc etc.
2) You never can go wrong with Love & Kindness.
3) Religion is not all that great, but faith is.
4) Wash your face daily, and moisturize.

19) With any deal find a Win Win.
20) Help others reach their dreams.
21) Don't be a shitty person, ever.
22) Be a lover.
23) Don't waste your life watching too much TV, but rather get out and live life.
