The rabbi's top 10 secrets on living life to the fullest. No. 2? Keep cheerful friends.

From living healthy to keeping friends close, Rabbi Eli Lando's shares his top 10 secrets for how to love life.

1. Throw out non-essential numbers.

This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That's why you pay them.

2. Keep only cheerful friends.

The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning.

Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud.

Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen.

Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be alive while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love.

Whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, or hobbies. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health.

If it's good, preserve it. If it's unstable, improve it. If it's beyond what you can improve, get help.

9. Don't take guilt trips.

Take a trip to the mall, even to the next country, but not to where the guilt is.

10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

And always remember: Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

We all need to live life to its fullest each day!!
