11. Learn how to respond positively when people in your life disappoint you or let you down. People will let you down whether they mean to or not. Kids, partners, friends, co-workers, bosses and family will all at some point let you down or disappoint you. It is knowing how to respond positively when it happens that counts. Some people don’t respond at all and the person who has let them down may not even know. I was terrible about this one. People would disappoint me or let me down and I just sucked it up and said nothing. The problem is they didn’t know and so they would do it again. Eventually, it would piss me off and then I would get angry. Now when it happens the first time I tell them in a nice way that I am disappointed by their response or choice or lack of follow through. It makes a huge difference.
12. If a person walks out of your life, let them go. People will come and go from your life. Sometimes it is feels good to see them gone and other times it hurts tremendously. Either way you need to let them go. If they don’t want to be a part of your life, forcing them to be will make you both miserable.
13. Quickly recognize and remove negative people from your life. This is a tough one because some people are pessimistic by nature it seems not because they just want to bring everyone down. There is nothing wrong with someone having a pessimistic view on things but someone who is always negative and can’t ever see the good in anything needs to go. There are too many good things in live that you don’t want to miss out on because you have negative people stopping you from seeing them and experiencing them.
14. Know how to recover from failures. There will be setbacks and failures in your life. The only way to get past them is to recover. When these things happen ask for help from the start don’t wait until the seem insurmountable. Look at Disney World, happy place on earth. Mr. Walt Disney went bankrupt more than once but he recovered, learned from his mistakes and kept going. Thank goodness for that or there would be no Disney World.
15. Don’t allow people to treat you bad. There are too many people in this world who will treat you well that you have no need for the ones who don’t. Walk away from people who can’t respect and honor you as a human being.
16. Bad things happen to good people. It is just a fact of life.
17. Never tell someone you love them if you don’t truly mean it.
