It's really quite simple...

Five keys to enjoying life:

1. Accept people for who they are. As one of my good friends says, "You can't teach a tiger to fly." You'll kill yourself trying and the tiger (who has no intent nor interest in flying) will just think you're crazy. Accept that...and keep on flying.
   
2. Be forgiving. But don't be stupid.
3. Expectations are planned disappointments.
   
4. Don't be a martyr.
   
5. Be who you really are. And find the people who know and love you for YOU...

Then...
FLY with these people for the rest of your life.
