secrets of adulthood

Like I mentioned before, I just started reading The Happiness Project.  

Loving it so far.  

When embarking on her own happiness project, the author came up with her "Secrets of Adulthood".

Her "lessons [she'd] learned with some difficulty as [she'd] grown up".  

Could these be any truer?

From The Happiness Proejct by Gretchen Rubin

• People don't notice your mistakes as much as you think.
• It's okay to ask for help.
• Most decisions don't' require extensive research.
• Do good, feel good.
• It's important to be nice to everyone.
• Bring a sweater.
• By doing a little bit each day, you can get a lot accomplished.
• Soap and water remove most stains.
• Turning the computer on and off a few times often fixes a glitch.
• If you can't find something, clean up.
• You can choose what you do; you can't choose what you like to do.
• Happiness doesn't always make you feel happy.
• What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.
• You don't have to be good at everything.
• If you're not failing, you're not trying hard enough.
• Over-the-counter medicines are very effective.
• Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
• What's fun for other people may not be fun for you - and vice versa.
• People actually prefer that you buy wedding gifts off their registry.
• You can't profoundly change your children's natures by nagging them or signing them up for classes.
• No deposit, no return.

Honest, right?

Back later with a Wine Night recipe!
