50 Life Lines


Whilst stumbleupon-ing during one of my frequent attacks of insomnia, I discovered this inspiring list of secrets and tips about life. Definitely worth sharing...

1. Memorize something everyday.
2. Constantly try to reduce your attachment to possessions.
3. Develop an endless curiosity about this world.
4. Remember people's names.
5. Get fit!
6. Learn to focus only on the present. The future is but a result of your actions today.
7. Even more specifically, live in THIS moment.
8. Smile more often.
9. Drink water.
10. Don't take life so seriously.
11. Think positive thoughts.
12. Read books.
13. Get in the sun. It feels amazing.
14. Help others.
15. Set aside a specific time to worry each day.
16. Be honest at all times. Lies lead to nothing but trouble.
17. Sleep less.
18. Read "Bringers of Light" and "Conversations with God" by Neale Donald Walsch.
19. Figure out what your goals and dreams are.
20. Start your day off right. Wake up & set aside an hour to do the things that make you blissful.
21. Utilize "The Burning Method." Whenever a fear or worry comes to mind, close your eyes and imagine writing down the thought on a piece of paper. Then proceed to like the paper on fire and watch it disintegrate.
22. Travel. This world is your jungle so go explore!
23. The Rubber Band Method. Place a rubber band around your wrist and snap it against your skin anytime a negative thought finds its way into your head.
24. Learn to be unaffected by the words of others.
25. Read "Zen and the Art of Happiness" by Chris Prentiss.
26. Develop the ability to forgive.
27. Be the person that makes others feel special.
28. Learn to lucid dream.
29. Visualize daily.
30. Meditate everyday for at least 20 minutes.
31. Learn to control your mind.

33. Take a class in speed reading.
34. Relax!
35. Work on making good first impressions.
36. Learn to use your eyes to their full potential: Make constant eye contact in conversations. Master the piercing stare. Master the one-eyebrow raise.
37. Be mysterious. Think James Bond.
38. Come up with a life mantra. Like "carpe diem" or "life life to the fullest," but not as cliche.
