50 Insights in 50 Years

Your health is your wealth – If you don’t have your health you have nothing. I watched my parents lose it all when their health gave out. It isn’t a fun experience! Do whatever you can to maintain your health and everything else will follow.

Insight 29

Eat your veggies – I have never been a healthy eater – I prefer things in a wrapper over veggies and fruit.

Be nice – It sounds simple enough but from what I observe is it isn’t always easy to do. I like to think I am a nice person however I have my moments. Work on being nice most of the time. It makes life easier and nicer! The great thing about being nice is when you are nice to others they generally are nice back!

50 Insights in 50 Years - Stay Employable

Insight Number 27


Stay employable – So many people worry about keeping a job and that really is the wrong focus. There will always be jobs out there if you stay employable. You have to keep your skills up, continue to learn and take on new challenges and work assignments. The person that just does the same thing day after day and never tries to learn anything new is going to be the person at a loss when their job is eliminated and they find themselves on the street. Don’t let it happen to you. Also be growing yourself and your skills. That way you will always be employable no matter what happens to your job.

50 Insights in 50 Years - You never know anyone until you divorce them

Insight Number 26

You never know anyone until you divorce them – There is a saying that goes, “You don’t know someone until you marry them.” I believe that you can get to know someone when you marry them but you really get to know someone when you divorce them. During both of my divorces (yep been married three times – the last one took) I got to know a lot about my ex-husbands and to tell you the truth both of them were pretty good guys. Yes there were moments but we were able to part ways without doing much damage. I have also observed how others handle divorces as well. People who divorce well tend to be pretty fair and good people, in good situations and bad ones.

Insight Number 25

The Boomerang theory - This dove tails nicely with Insight Number 24. Whatever you put out into the world will come back to you. It doesn’t usually come back from the same person or in the same way. How it works is if you put something nice out in the world something nice comes back to you. So it actually benefits you to do random acts of niceness.
