The Rules of Life and Living
13-Jun-2005 01:49 pm
Do not strive for greatness, but for goodness - greatness lies in all things good.
If you can be fair, then choose fairness.
If you can be calm, choose calmness.
Sadness will bring you closer to God. Happiness can be trivial and frivolous if only sought for one's self.
See the world and never stop trying to understand other cultures.
If you are afraid of dying, you will not live a true life.
Time will heal all things. Being idle solves nothing.
The only thing that eases grief is grieving; let it take you over if you want to survive it. Keeping it at bay will cause internal unrest.
Never judge others for you will only be judging yourself.
Be outside as much as possible. Walk whenever you can.
Be responsible for your thoughts; they are powerful entities that will design your future.
Help others whenever possible.
Giving your time will always be bigger than giving from your wallet.
Depression is an underestimated tool. It can be Nature’s way of turning you around to face the light.
Companionship is the greatest of all things, without it we are inhuman.
To want to know others will bring you life's greatest joy. Friendships are golden.
Laugh at yourself.
Stand up in the face of disaster.
Walk towards the sunrise rather than the sunset; you'll enjoy fuller days.
Never abandon your own heart.
Be easy with yourself; be kind with your soul.
Change everything on a whim, if you want to.
Cause no pain to others. Be tolerant, always.
Fight evil.
Strive for goodness.

I read this on her site yesterday, totally awesome! Have you read her books? They are mostly just compiled from her journal entries, so if you keep up with her website, you're all caught up! She draws cute little angels all over and little illustrations. Well worth it.
I love Jann!
Words of Wisdom from JT:
Ensure you have Pepcid AC BEFORE you get ready for bed, or else suffer the burning gut until the morning light.
Can you tell I was pepcidless for 2 nights?
