it is normal to feel this way. here is some advice i received (some i took & some i did not) - not in any particular order:
- always treat people the way you would like to be treated
- when a door closes, a window opens
- this life you are living now is not a dress rehearsal
- you have the ability to control your life - only you - no one else
- don't look at the superficial essence of people - look inside of their soul
- if you have to sign a legal document – take it home & review it overnight. preferably, see an attorney to protect your interests. remember, if it seems too good to be true - it probably is !
- don’t let people be bullied & don’t be a bully
- every time you make love to someone, you give a piece of yourself away. you don't have too many pieces inside of you to give away – so be selective
- learn something new every day
- find the path to your own happiness ! you are in charge of your own happiness. remember, you are responsible for how you get out of bed every day & how you plan your day
- when you receive a gift, or someone does something nice or thoughtful for you ? acknowledge them – send a thank you note.
- you can encourage others to move ahead – always pay it forward !
- do volunteer work - it enriches the soul & lets you see how other people live their lives & survive their day to day existence
- when someone you care about hurts you ? you can hold on to anger, resentment & thoughts of revenge - or embrace forgiveness & move forward. forgiveness frees your soul
- sometimes you feel alone on this planet earth. it is normal to feel this way. however, always remember that all you have to do is reach out & ask for help. no matter where help comes from, or what it is ? please accept it graciously
- when you get a job ? save something from each & every paycheck you get – even if it is a dollar. it helps you plan for your future & sets up good habits for savings right from the beginning. place this money in an interest bearing account
- every once in a while, take an inventory of your life. make a five year plan. write down your goals so that you know what they are. be very specific. writing down your goals & thoughts for the future will help you reach for the stars, even when you are down & feel all is lost
- give more then you receive – you will never be disappointed !
- always be yourself !
- the joy is in the journey. do not give up on this journey called life !
- don't watch tv too much, play video games too much, or have too much internet interaction - it fries your brain & can encourage laziness
- don’t use profanity. it is a show of disrespect for yourself & those around you. there are millions of words out there – use them to express yourself !
- challenge yourself – don’t always take the easiest choice given to you or travel a path preferred by others – take chances
- make yourself do something different once in a while
- in order to give & receive love, you have to love yourself first - make loving yourself a priority in your life !
- drink v8 juice
- brush & floss your teeth at least two times per day
- don’t expect people to come to your rescue all of the time – learn to be self supportive
- drink lots of water – stay away from soda pop
- go to the library & / or book store – read !
- go for walks
- sometimes, when you can’t smile ? force yourself to ! it encourages your inner psyche to survive the “blues” that comes over each & every one of us, from time to time
- don’t judge others. they have a life to live, just like you do. try to see the other side of the coin
- keep a journal
- remember, it’s not the mistakes we make that define us, it’s how we deal with them
- listen to music – it keeps you connected to your inner soul & to the universe – all of which are very important to survive on this planet
- always strive for a better education
- encourage people around you – especially strangers
- remember, we are all created equal – g*d does not make mistakes
- never, ever give in or give up
stay busy ! see the links below to help with that
peace
