1. Learn to Say "No"
One of the most important life lessons women have to learn is how to say, "no." You aren't obligated to do everything so it is powerful to decide when to draw the line and tell someone you won't be able to attend that thing, do that thing or go to that place.
2. Giving = Happy
Sure, it's fun to get things, but the feelings you get when you give are way better. Volunteer at a local women's shelter, walk dogs at the animal shelter, read to kids at the library or donate food to the homeless. Whatever giving activity you choose will make your life a whole lot better.
Frequently asked questions
3. Hard Work is Important
There's definitely a time and a place for taking a break, and, as women, we deserve time off. However, hard work has its place too. Putting in the time and effort will always pay off.
4. Failing Isn't the End of the World
Everyone fails sometimes and the best thing to do is to learn something from it and move on. Many times, failure is the springboard to something better than you ever imagined so wallow in it for a few minutes, then use it for a better life going forward.
5. Money Doesn't Make You Happier
There's a difference between having enough money and having more than you can ever spend. Many women fall into the trap of thinking that being rich will make life perfect. The opposite is actually true. Being loaded can make you unhappy. Strive to have what you need, but don't get too greedy. After all, the best things in life are free.

6. What Other People Think Doesn't Matter
You've lived your whole life paying attention to what others think of you and it's time to stop. The best gift you can give yourself is to quit caring what they think. You are your own person, living your own life, and it doesn't matter how anyone else feels about your choices.
7. You Need to Be Flexible
Let's face it. Life is never going to go exactly as you hope or plan. Staying flexible is so important for rolling with the punches. Being too rigid is only going to make you unhappy. Being a little looser will make you happier and easier to be around.
