Most important things to remember in life

Most important things to remember in life

Written By Regina Brett, 90 years old, of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland , Ohio.

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me.It is the most-requested column I've ever written.".

My odometer rolled over to 90 in August, so here is the column once more:

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.

2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.

3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.

4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch.

5. Pay off your credit cards every month.

6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.

8. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it.

9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.

10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.

13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.

15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.

17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.

18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.

19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood. But the second one is up to you and no one else.

20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets, wear the fancy lingerie. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.

22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.

23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

24. The most important sex organ is the brain.

25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?"

27. Always choose life.

28. Forgive everyone everything.

29. What other people think of you is none of your business.

30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.

31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

33. Believe in miracles.

34. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do.

35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.

36. Growing old beats the alternative - dying young.

37. Your children get only one childhood.

38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.

40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.

42. The best is yet to come.

43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up

44. Yield.

45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.

Boost your Sex Drive

Boost your Sex Drive

#1. You must have heard about the special perfumes, candlelight dinners, sexy lingerie, hormone-boosting medicines or special sex toys that help boost your sex drive. But what if we told you that boosting your sex drive is a lot simpler and easier on the wallet than all these so called sex drive boosters? Today, we're telling you about how to go back to the basics and develop new lifestyle habits that help elevate your desire and desirability for sex.

#2. Exercise for that spicy sex life:

Exercise is known for many health benefits and one of them is definitely sex. It helps rev up your blood circulation by keeping your cardiovascular system hearty and happy. Health experts all over the world believe that a boost in the level of endorphins in the body helps love-making; not to mention, being toned would obviously make you and your partner feel sexier leading to a more pleasurable experience.

#3. Healthy diet for a better sex life:

In (very) simplified layman's terms - if your arteries are jammed with saturated fat, then it becomes extremely difficult for the blood to travel to the genital area. And, you might have noticed doctors speaking extensively on how heart diseases are directly linked with *ractile dysfunction. Too much weight can make the estrogens and testosterone level in your body go haywire, which as a result can have a serious negative impact on your sex life.

#4. Say NO to smoking:

Nicotine in cigarettes is known to be the biggest reason for damaging veins and arteries. Smoking, as a result, lead to the damaging of blood vessels - yes, even in the private parts of the body. Medically speaking, acute vasospasm, contraction of the penile tissue, and restricted blood flow to the penis are all dreadful effects of smoking. In fact, cigarette smoking can also lead to male fertility, by reducing the quality of semen.

#5. Check your alcohol and caffeine consumption:

Similar to nicotine, caffeine is considered a vasoconstrictor as well, that can trigger *rectile dysfunction by restricting blood vessels. While getting drunk might get you into the groove, in some cases it can also act as a depressant. Ideally, one should limit the intake of alcohol to just a glass a day for women and two for men.

#6. Never multitask while having sex:

In the hustle-bustle of our daily lives, somewhere or the other we are all bogged down by our responsibilities, be they personal or professional. At times, you might find yourself completely tired, left with no energy to show any interest on the lovemaking front. But, don’t let this take a toll on your sexual life. The trick lies in sharing the duties and responsibilities with your partner and feeling relieved at night, when you are all set for some action. Switch off all your gadgets and gizmos as they can be quite distracting. Let your bedroom be a gadget-free zone. This will help channelize your energy into the one task in your daily life that doesn't need a battery or power chord.
