10 Important Life Lessons

1. Don’t take yourself too seriously. Learn to laugh at your mistakes.

2. Life is too short to waste it on resentments, bitterness or grudges you’re holding against others.

3. You don’t have to win every argument and fight. Sometimes it’s OK to just agree to disagree.

4. Make peace with your past - then let it go, and move on.

5. Choose to go after what brings you happiness.

6. Don’t compare yourself to others.

7. It doesn’t really matter what others think of you – just live your own life and be true to who you are.

8. Don’t suffer in silence – reach out for support.

9. The most important thing is to love and be loved.

10. Believe that the best is yet to come.

[image description: an art photograph featuring a human figure with a red garment draped over the shoulders sitting mid-background facing away toward a wooded horizon. Long blond hair is braided down the figure’s back; the braid continues seamlessly with the tall dry grass on the ground, the same color, and the braid continues into the foreground, unbroken, the grass not pulled out of the ground but gathered and braided with its roots still attached.]

Every time I see these bird pins - I cannot resist posting them, perhaps their history, with its fragility and strength, attracts me again and again. 

Bird pins (brooches) made out of scrap materials by Japanese Americans held in internment camps during World War II.From The Art of Gaman: Arts & Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps 1942-1946 by Delphine Hirasuna (Ten Speed Press, 2005).

Gaman is a Japanese term of Zen Buddhist origin which means “enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity”.
