Be independent. The sooner you become responsible for yourself,

the less you have to answer to others.

Eat, sleep & rest.  It may sound obvious but you only have one body and although

most things can be fixed, it's easier not to break them in the first place.

Be tolerant.  Cherish you own beliefs and causes, but accept that others' may

be different.  This will keep you out of most trouble.

Be gentle.  You know the damage that is caused by harsh weather;

harshness of any kind is damaging.

Be loving.  Feeling love releases good chemicals into your body

and does good for everyone and everything.

Search for the good.  Your job is boring, but it's close to home or the hours are good. 

You're paid peanuts, but the work fascinates you.  Your partner is a slob, but kind and gentle. Your partner is  never around, but pays all the bills.  You get the picture.  Focus on the good.

Believe in better.  Once you are focused on the good, imagine better. 

It will help you to get it.

Find your passion.  Is there some activity, some subject that totally engrosses you? 

That is your passion.  Follow your passion and it will lead you to fulfillment.

Find peace.  Is it curled up in front of the fire or lying on the beach in the sun?

Whatever it is; do it often.

Find harmony.  Choose carefully the company you keep.

True friends are supportive  and nurturing.  Be a true friend too.

Uphold your values. Be an individual.  If you value fidelity and

all your friends are having affairs, get new friends.  You don't have to do drugs either

just because it's 'in'.  Respect yourself.

Trust your own judgement.  Be your own best friend and listen to your instincts. 

If they tell you to run when others say stay;  trust yourself first.

Grow.  Life is a journey of stages and ages.  You change as you grow. 

Embrace change for it helps growth. Don't be afraid to move on. 

Choose growth, not stagnation.

See life as a great adventure!  Enjoy  ! ! !
