Stop whining about getting old. It's a privilege. A lot of people who are dead wish they were still alive.

Great people do things before they're ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you're afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that - that is what life is. You might be really good. You might find out something about yourself that's really special and if you're not good, who cares? You tried something. Now you know something about yourself.

Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier.

In a recent Valentine's Day posting on her fan website, Britney Spears says that - oh, who cares?

Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

I find my relationships at 40-plus are really emulsified, juicy relationships because you have more of a sense of who you are and who you want to be around.

Your ability to navigate and tolerate change and its painful uncomfortablene ss directly correlates to your happiness and general well-being. See what I just did there? I saved you thousands of dollars on self-help books. If you can surf your life rather than plant your feet, you will be happier.
