And recall in a way you can't now How much lay before you And how you really looked You are not as fat as you
Don't worry about the or worry that know that worrying Is as affective as trying to solve an equation By chewing gum The real troubles in your are apt to be things That never crossed worried mind The kind that blindsides you at 4 p.m. on some Tuesday
Do one thing every day that you, sing Don't be reckless with other peoples' Don't put up with who are reckless with yours, floss Don't waste your on jealousy Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes behind The race is long and in the end, it's with yourself
Remember compliments you receive, the insults If you succeed in doing this, me how your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements, stretch Don't feel if you don't know what to do with your life
The most interesting I know didn't know at 22 they wanted to do with their lives Some of the most 40-year-olds I know still don't Get of calcium Be kind to knees, you'll them when they're gone

Enjoy your body, use it way you can Don't be afraid of it or other people think of it It's the greatest instrument you'll own, dance Even if you have nowhere to do it but your own living the directions even if you don't follow them Do not read magazines, they will only make you feel ugly

Travel, accept inalienable truths will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old And when you do, fantasize that when you were young were reasonable, politicians were noble And respected their elders
Respect your elders, expect anyone else to support you Maybe you have a fund, maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse But you'll know when either one will run out mess too much with your hair or by the time you're forty It will eighty-five Be careful whose advice you buy, but be with those who supply it
Advice is a of nostalgia, dispensing it is a way of Wishing the past from the disposal, it off Painting over the ugly parts and for more than it's worth But me on the sunscreen
