Strive to always be thankful and optimistic.
Focus your gaze on what is good and positive; never dwell on the negative.
Do not allow life to make you cynical or closed off.
Remaining open and true to yourself is a life-long adventure, and the only one worth having.
Choose to see the best in people.
Strike up conversations with strangers.
Never be afraid to ask for what you really, really want.
To love, purely and fiercely, without agenda, is the most terrifying and rewarding thing you'll ever do.
Travel is essential to the spirit.
A pair of great shoes means nothing if you have an ugly heart.
Try your hardest not to judge anyone else; it never leads anywhere good.
Always avoid tabloids and gossip; they destroy the soul.
Be kind and loyal.
Many things in this world are more important than money.
Always trust your intuition, always.
Rescue animals, it will strengthen your heart.
Never delight in anyone else's misery.
Trust in others.
You are your own best investment.
Believe in the magic of a new day and a fresh start.
Follow your bliss.
Do more of what you love.
Always do the best you can.
Create your own family and care for them ferociously.
When people offer you opportunities that scare you, say yes: it's the very best way to grow.
You are never as stuck as you think.
Stay eager.
Love yourself.
Say YES to the adventure of Life! ♥

That is the best thing I've read in a long time, it's what I have been trying to teach my 12 yr. old but the message often falls on death ears. Great post.

Give him sometime is will grasp it overtime & keep up the good work.

Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Nice post kiddo!

ha.
i'm basically the opposite of all of the above.

I do pretty much all of that excpet for the "others misery" thing....there are some people who earn a good dose of misery.

I try...but I need frequent reminders....thank you

everything but the "trust in others" was good. Nice share, thanks.
