One woman complained to a friend that she couldn’t remember anything from one day to the next.
“Let me get this straight,” he said. “You can’t remember anything from one day to the next. How long has this been going on?”
She said, “How long has what been going on?”
Even if your memory is perfect, it may still help to focus on the few things you really need to remember. This list, compiled from several sources, may be all you really need to remember..
- Remember that your presence is a gift (a present) to the world.
- Remember that you are a unique and unrepeatable being.
- Remember that you are still becoming what you will be.
- Remember to relax; each day just comes one at a time.
- Remember to count your blessings, not your troubles.
- Remember that you have sufficient courage to face whatever comes along.
- Remember that most of the answers you need are within you.
- Remember that decisions are too important to leave to chance.
- Remember to always reach for the best that is within you.
- Remember that nothing wastes more energy than worry.
- Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
- Remember that the longer you carry a grudge, the heavier it gets.
- Remember not to take things too seriously; there’s always reason to laugh.
- Remember that happiness is more often found in giving than getting.
- Remember that life’s greatest treasures are people, not things.
- Remember that a little love goes a long way.
- Remember that a lot goes forever.
