1. Perfection is an illusion, and no one is completely satisfied with their life. Once you accept this, you’re free from the burden of comparison and judgment. It’s a liberating feeling.
2. Your health matters, but stress, fear, and worry are more damaging than any indulgent food or drink. Happiness and peace are the best medicine you can give yourself.
3. Much of our lives are spent chasing illusions, striving for goals that don’t truly matter. The moment you realize this is the moment you begin to truly live.
4. Life is short, but living against the wind can make it feel like a life sentence. Life shouldn’t feel like a chore; it should feel like an adventure.
5. Fighting the aging process is like trying to catch the wind. Embrace it. Your body is changing, just as it always has. Instead of resisting, shift your mindset to see the beauty in every stage.
6. You’ll regret the years you spent criticizing your appearance. The sooner you make peace with the vessel that carries your soul, the better. Your body is incredible and important, but it doesn’t define who you are.
7. As you age, who will remember you and for what becomes more important. Your love and wisdom will outlast any material possessions you leave behind. Share your stories—they’ll travel farther than you ever will.
8. You simply cannot please everyone all the time. Start by pleasing yourself and caring for those you love. The rest are too busy trying to please themselves, trust me.
9. People may not always notice what you do right, but they’ll see what you do wrong. When you accept this, you’ll start doing things for the right reasons—and you’ll have a lot more fun along the way.
10. Always, always drink the good champagne and use the things you save for ‘special occasions.’ Tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone. Today is a gift—cherish it. So, eat, drink, and be merry.
