FabSwingers.com forum: What do you think the secret to a good life is?

I think appreciating what you have and what you had; knowing when to back down; saying sorry with no buts and being the best you're capable of being!

What's your thoughts?

Smile often and laugh often.

Be yourself (and by able to laugh at yourself).

Own your faults and weaknesses, accept help if it's offered and never be ashamed to say you need support.

Always apologise and admit if you are wrong.

You get what you put in to life, work hard, play hard and don't be afraid to dream.

Tell those you love that you love them, often. Life is too short to leave these things unspoken.

Everything tastes better with butter.

Only thing I can add to that is to forgive others as for me holding anger and grudges is pointless . Takes up way too much energy and we all make mistakes none of us are perfect in this world xx

The secrets to a good life....

S.E.C.R.E.T.S.

Simplicity - the less complicated your life is the more energy you can devote to the things that make you happy.

Effort - to have a happy and successful life be sure you give it your best.

Create priorities - invest your energy/effort in the things and people that are important to you.

Reserves - whether its reserves of time, energy, money or anything else, because you never know when life is going to throw a spanner in the works.

Eliminate distractions - a lot of mental energy and emotions are caught up in things which are not important, identify and eliminate them from your life.

Thoughts - thoughts become words, words become actions. Make sure yours reflect the person you want others to see.

Start today - take the first step towards the life you want for yourself and your loved ones.

My old friend JT puts it just right for me in his song.....

The secret of life

Is enjoying the passage of time.

Any fool can do it,

There ain't nothing to it.

Nobody knows how we got

To the top of the hill.

But since we're on our way down,

We might as well enjoy the ride.

The secret of love

Is in opening up your heart.

It's okay to feel afraid,

But don't let that stand in your way.

'Cause anyone knows

That love is the only road.

And since we're only here for a while,

Might as well show some style.

Give us a smile.

Isn't it a lovely ride?

Sliding down, gliding down,

Try not to try too hard,

It's just a lovely ride.

Now the thing about time

Is that time isn't really real.

It's just your point of _iew,

How does it feel for you?

Einstein said he

Could never understand it all.

Planets spinning through space,

The smile upon your face,

Welcome to the human race.

Some kind of lovely ride.

I'll be sliding down,

I'll be gliding down.

Try not to try too hard,

It's just a lovely ride......

Your only here the once. Make the most of it. Keep that in your mind. I see a lot of money being mentioned. I work hard for what I hav and appreciate it more when I buy stuff. I'm I the only person who does not want to win the lottery. Think I would get bored very quickly.

One of the secrets is not to let negative people drag you down and tell you what you can't do.

Believe in yourself, go for what you want

I am going for a couple of them but it's slow, that extra cash would defo 'put butter in the spinach' as we say in France. The other projects won't materialise without that lottery money

but hoping and dreaming is good

Being content with your lot-having enough to be happy and being healthy.

Finding things that make you happy and just stopping everthing that makes you unhappy.
