Being kind is the right thing to do, BUT, you must be careful or you could become a door mat. It use to be: treat others how you would want others to treat you. Not anymore! Now, it's treat others how others treat you. Too many people could care less about you, so don't let yourself be taken advantage of!

Kind is not being soft..... it’s being smart and strong. It’s a “choice “. Those that are not insecure know how to deligate their kindness. Gratitude is it’s foundation.

I'm grateful for every moment I have. I love myself so that I may love my spouse , family and others.
I meditate and practice yoga. I eat a very healthy diet as a health coach. I eat VERY little sugar and I know where to find sugar and it's pretenders in our food supply.
I love sharing myself and helping to educate those in my community.

Always use sugar, not vinegar as Mom always told me. It works!
Smile, even, if your day is so Sour, it's going to get better, you will run into somebody that has a worse day than you.
Spread white light, around you, in you,in your neighborhood, to your friends, family, around the world and then jump on it and go with it to outer space. You will be surprised at how your life will change.
Dont curse anybody, your actually doing the devils work, so spread white light and tell anybody that is giving you a nasty day, step into the white light and fill with Love and Compassion and walk away.
When, your getting bullied at work- take that person -make them look like an elephant with a huge trunk, beavers ears( so it can slap the ground) and have them prance around in a circle, trumpeting and it will bring a smile to your face and maybe you will laugh too!
Go to the park and feel the wonderful energy from the trees, birds, insects, butterflies and you will fill up on good energy!

I have said this on several similar Forums. The key is being Happy, Having a Great Partner and keeping Active. Stop feeling sorry for all things that happen as you age. I am 84 years old and my wife is 83 yrs old. We are very active I still work 2 days a week and Volunteer and my wife is also very active. The old saying is true "A happy wife, a happy life"

To live a long and happy life
Know God, pray, follow His teachings,seek inspiration..
Find your purpose in life.
Give of yourself, your time and talents.
Pay your blessings forward.
Look for the good, be positive.
Like yourself. If you don't like you, why should anyone else?
As Dolly Pardon said, "Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
Give 110% in any relationship.
Honor vows.
Keep in touch with family and friends.
Laugh with others, not at them.
Be a positive role model, encourage others.
Stand up for what you know is right especially when it is unpopular.
Share lessons learned in life with others.
Always move towards a goal, never give up.
Play, pray, persevere.
We only get each moment in life once, use/spend the time wisely.
Right now is the beginning of the rest of your life, what are you going to do with it?

To treat your body like the temple it's. How to avoid illness, simply eat the proper foods & stay hydrated.. Drink in moderation. Stay away from sugar. Sing like nobody is listening & dance like nobody is watching. Do not care what others are thinking about you. It's your life & not theirs, so don't let anyone live it for you. Exercise, but not until it hurts, & get some sun, just not too much. Enjoy the beauty of nature. Take time to smell the roses, just make sure there isn't a bee in it. LOL Take time to laugh & enjoy life!!!!
