"What's the promise to longevity?"~2
Is there a secret to longevity? Yes there is but I will write about it and it will no longer be a secret
Live lighthearted ~don’t worry too much. Worrying will not get you anywhere, it will not get you any further, not will it bring you a solution. It will only make you feel miserable.
Make a plan you want to achieve, like learning 1000 French words in one year. That would be 28 words a day, which may be too many words to learn…. so lets make it 500 words, 500 French words, I will start tomorrow, I will choose two French words, and I will learn these, I will write the English word and the Dutch word so you can learn these words too and you can learn two French words and two Dutch words.
Laugh every day, if your life is miserable laugh about one thing in that miserable life of yours, try to find one thing that could be funny, if you looked at it with the sole reason to laugh about it.
Do something good for the world. Bring a garbage bag and pick up trash when you go for a walk. Or maybe you never walk and use your car to get anywhere. Maybe bake some cookies and give them to the neighbor you see struggling with her kids and talking about kids, when a kid has a fit have warm thoughts for the mom, have warm thought anyway when something happens that could annoy you.
