TONY CURTIS
His 10 Steps to Follow for Inner Happiness
Written by Jay Christian
I knew the late Tony Curtis for a number of years and had a few interviews with him. Always friendly and gracious with his time, Tony revealed to me many years ago, the 10 tips that kept his life on track. All of them will truly help you in some way.
“Ok, it’s time to get your life together,” said actor Tony Curtis.
“After starting my recovery program for drug and alcohol abuse, I decided to concentrate on what was going to keep my life on track every single day. So, I came up with these 10 steps,” he said excitedly.
“I can’t begin to tell you the success I’ve found. My life is fulfilling every day. I owe it all to my tips and I’d like to share them with all the readers. Try them out and I know you’ll see the results.”
1. DON’T HAVE REGRETS.
“Don’t judge yourself for the things you wish you had done differently, but acknowledge them. That’s the secret, to acknowledge these things and accept them.”
2. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF.
“As smart as we all are, we all can easily adapt to the changes that happen now in life. What you have to do is touch base on all of those things slowly and carefully. It’s good for you to become more honest about yourself.”
3. SORT THINGS OUT.
“Before my recovery, my expectations and desires were too high. I wasn’t happy with the kinds of movies I was making, I wasn’t happy in the relationships I was in, and I wasn’t happy with my lifestyle. I had to learn to enjoy life. Don’t take life too seriously!”
4. CONCENTRATE ON INNER HAPPINESS.
“I have inner happiness today. I’m not so compulsive anymore. I’ve learned to relax with life and feel good about myself every day. None of us are perfect. Concentrate on your good points and feel good about yourself.”
5. THINK POSITIVELY.
“I’m now feeling the positive values of the living experience. Giving myself to other people and helping, is in a lot of ways, a very important part of positive thinking.”
6. STOP DWELLING ON TRYING TO BE HAPPY.
“Happiness and unhappiness are only expressions and not really the normal living experience. Looking for happiness only puts you in the unhappy state while you’re looking for it. You should say every day, ‘I’m at ease with my living experiences.’”
7. NEVER SUPPRESS YOUR FEELINGS.
“Never suppress...in the suppression is the destruction. Never deny that you have some kind of problem. Be honest with yourself and others.”
8. THINK ABOUT TODAY.
“Every day is important. You don’t have to rush, just relax. Think about improving your life each day. It’s never too late to make a change.”
9. ORGANIZE YOUR DAY.
“Happiness is time management. If you organize your day, you can do things properly and don’t have to rush. You’ll get more out of life because you won’t feel cheated.”
10. ENJOY YOUR LIFE AND DON’T THINK ABOUT YOUR AGE.
“Age? I can’t even relate to it. I don’t think about it anymore. I did at 40, but that was part of my dilemma, getting older and thinking I was old. Just remember that you can do wonderful things at any age!” *
CELEBRITY RECIPES THIS MONTH
JAY LENO’S UNCLE LOUIE’S CHICKEN WINGS MARINARA
Ingredients:
2-3 dozen chicken wings
1 can Italian plum tomatoes
Olive oil
Garlic or garlic powder
Durkee® Hot Sauce (or Frank's RedHot Sauce)
Salt
Parsley
Directions:
Cook chicken wings by broiling or lightly flour them and deep fry in safflower or peanut oil. While they are cooking, prepare the sauce.
Heat 1/8-inch of olive oil in a pan, add garlic powder or crushed garlic to taste. Mash one can of whole plum tomatoes through a sieve and cook in the olive oil. Add a few teaspoons of chopped parsley and salt to taste – then cook about 20 minutes. At the end of this cooking time, add Durkee® Hot Sauce (put a little or a lot, depending on how hot or mild your taste), but put in at least 2 tablespoons or the sauce won’t be as tasty. Add a little garlic powder and cook another 3 to 4 minutes.
In a bowl, toss the chicken wings with ½ cup of the sauce & serve with the remaining sauce on the side to dip the wings into.
Enjoy!
