What She Learned This Year - You Might Want to Too...(from Rachel C. Weingarten)

Wow - I know she's my sister and I might be biased but this is absolutely a terrific post from the blog of Rachel C. Weingarten author of Career and Corporate Cool(TM). Read about the things she's learned this year about friendship, love, success, work, health and much more.... I learned a lot and it got me thinking....


*Never take your health for granted because just when you think that life has cut you a break, it pulls the rug out from under you.

*Dream big and make your reality even bigger, and after you do that, shrug it off as just a fluke and try even harder the next time.

*Don't stay friends with people just because you've been friends with them forever. People change and when they're bad to themselves, chances are at some point they'll become bad to you as well.

*Don't be afraid to tell someone you love them, even if you know it won't work out. Sometimes it's a gift to yourself to remember that you are in fact capable of deep love.

*Some years are financial successes, some are personal or professional successes, it doesn't all happen every year.

*Don't become so terrified or overwhelmed by a milestone that you lose sight of the before and after.

*Don't trust the universe more than you trust yourself, the cosmos may conspire against you, but you should always keep trying.

*Don't make things look so easy that people resent you, Don't make things look so hard that people think that they can't help or don't matter.

*Laugh at yourself- because the human condition when not horrifically painful, is fairly amusing.

*Live by your own definition of success.
