Kendra's Favorite Things

I just started reading this book and I'm already officially obsessed! It's a great reminder to incorporate the things in our lives that make us happy, and to get away from the things that bring us down. I'm sure over the course of the next few weeks I'll have lots to talk about as I finish this book, but today I read something that I just have to share. The author, Gretchen Rubin shares her "Secrets of Adulthood". They are all just so true so I wanted to share. Enjoy!

The Secrets of Adulthood:
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 everyday 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 them wedding gifts off their registry.
You can't profoundly change your children's nature by nagging them or signing them up for classes.
No deposit, no return.
