I saw this list recently and thought every single one was a good one. I even did a post about #16 back in July. I especially love #18.
Enjoy:
1. Faith is the ability to not panic.
2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you prayed, don't worry.
3. As a child of God, prayer is kinda like calling home every day.
4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.
5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot.
6. Do the math. Count your blessings.
7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts.
8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me.
9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted.
10. Laugh every day - it's like inner jogging.
11. The most important things in your home are the people.
12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. (Preach it!)
13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. Come on in.
14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry.
15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead.
16. We do not remember days but moments. Life moves too fast so enjoy your precious moments.
17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it; otherwise it's just hearsay.
18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle, it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck.
20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are. No matter the storm, when you are with God, there's always a rainbow waiting. Leave gentle fingerprints on the soul of another for the angels to read. I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

You are really on an "inspirational roll" with your posts! They are GREAT food for thought. Thanks!
What a wonderful post Kat!
WOW! I've been one of those quiet readers who just enjoys your sage wisdom and just whatever you feel like talking about. I'm all the way in CA. Your words came to my ears at just the right time today. I needed to be put in place and convicted of my own harsh thoughts. Thanks for sharing. The Lord always seems to direct those paths just right!!! PS Praise the Lord about your good health check up. =D Thank you again!!! God Bless, Heidi
Great message, Kat. I've never seen this list. Thanks.
These are all great things to think on! Thanks for the post!
Love the list especially # 7 & 17- I work very hard at #14 but still I sometimes carry a grudge- and isn't it silly to waste your precious time on earth that way?!
These are good. I've never heard this before either. I like #18!
These are all great words to live by. I especially like #19.
Oops! I meant #20. But 19 is good, too!
Great post...I like #'s 8 & 9.
I like #18, too. And 16, and 20. And actually 1 and 2. Ok, I love the whole list. Thanks, this may be on my school newsletter next week!
Wonderful post! My favorite is #19!
