When it comes to going after what you love in life, don\u2019t take no for an answer.<\/p>\n<p>21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don\u2019t save it for a special occasion. Today is special.<\/p>\n<p>22. Overprepare, then go with the flow.<\/p>\n<p>23. Be eccentric now. Don\u2019t wait for old age to wear purple.<\/p>\n<p>24. The most important sex organ is the brain.<\/p>\n<p>25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.<\/p>\n<p>26.

Don\u2019t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.<\/p>\n<p>33. Believe in miracles.<\/p>\n<p>34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn\u2019t do.<\/p>\n<p>35. Don\u2019t audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.<\/p>\n<p>36. Growing old beats the alternative \u2014 dying young.<\/p>\n<p>37. Your children get only one childhood.<\/p>\n<p>38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.<\/p>\n<p>39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.<\/p>\n<p>40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else\u2019s, we\u2019d<br \/>\ngrab ours back.<\/p>\n<p>41.
