30. There is always always always a second chance,
and a third, and a fourth. Forgive yourself often. 31. Celebrate, especially when you're sad. Celebrating
happiness is easy. 32. Never lie to yourself. 33. Life is not always fair. 34. Be kind to yourself. With hold that whip. 35. Dispense of your self judiciously. 36. Scold the people you love every now and then. It
is allowed and it is ok. 37. It's not important to be remembered. 38. Be grateful for your very life. Thank the Universe,
don't repay its generosity with misery and
ingratitude. No matter which theory of existence you believe, it's a miracle you are born a sentient being. Recognise the improbability of it and marvel,
be filled with amazement, that it did. 39. Want what's already yours. No more. 40. We are born at the right time. We are exactly where
we should be and when we should be. To think that another time and another place would have been better is to fool yourself.
