RE: Don't Waste Your Youth Searching for your Soul Mate.

in #life8 years ago

Some wise thoughts from one still young at thirty. This is a quote that I have had at the base of all my emails for years and it seems appropriate here.

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind." .....Dr. Suess

Knowing and trusting who you are is some of the most important aspects to have and live with/from as you move through the choices life brings.

We live in a truly amazing time, if you choose to see that side of our time. Remember that the choices we make today make the difference in the kind of life we create/end up with for ourselves later in life.

This comes from a soul about to turn 70 on June 19, who feels surprised that she made it to this point. Most people see me as about 55 to 60. So I say this to say that thoughts, diet, lifestyle, attitude, health, compassion and loving oneself and one's life matters.

There is much to live for in our world and making the most of oneself makes the world overall better for yourself and all.

Blessings and love,

Thank you so much! :)

I agree with all you said and I am SO glad I finally realized it. I have dropped booze, and cigarettes and am eating really healthy only for a bit over a week but I know it's going to stick this time. I am committed to finding relief for my relentless bladder pain.

I am also using my debilitation to create my businesses online and build for my future. I think my 30s and 40s will be where it's at.

I think I had to grow up a bit faster than most people due to my abusive and crazy childhood but that didn't make me wise... I only started wisening up recently when I realized the ball is in MY court now and I need to make my life one worth living. I think my growth really started when I cut out my toxic family.

Thanks so much for such a thoughtful response.

PS - I love Dr Seuss books. I was going to say I love Dr Seuss but then remembered he was very racist.
