I've Learned...

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. 
All you can do is be someone that can be loved. The rest is up to them.
I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back.
I've learned that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it.
I've learned that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learned that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do.
I've learned that you can do some thing in an instant that will give you heartache for life.
I've learned that it's taking me a long time to become the person I want to be.
I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them.
I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't.
I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. 

I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you.
I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done regardless of the consequences.
I've learned that money is a lousy way to keep score.
I've learned that my best friend and I can do anything or nothing and have the best time.
I've learned that just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
I've learned that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had and what you've learned from them and less to do with how many birthday's you've celebrated.
I've learned that you should never tell a child their dreams are unlikely or outlandish. Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.
I've learned that no matter good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.
I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief.
I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
I've learned that even when you think you have no more to give, when a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.

HANDBOOK OF LIFE


Health:

1. Drink plenty of water.
2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner
like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less
food that is manufactured.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Make time for prayer.

7. Read more books than you did in 2010.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9 Sleep for 7 hours.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.


Personality:

11. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

SMILE =)





Smile. Let the world see your beautiful smile, even though today may not be a happy day, this week might be one of your worst weeks in a while, or you may even be experiencing the roughest few months that you have experienced in your whole lifetime. Remember that a smile is the first step in turning around whatever turmoil that you are experiencing. 

Laugh. Laughing is not only beneficial to us in the moment by the release of endorphins that make us feel happy, but laughter has many great long term effects on our minds and our bodies if we continue to do it on a regular basis. 

Give. Giving is one of the most beneficial acts that we can commit, not only is it good for the beneficiaries, but it also will make you feel great on the inside. 

Dream. Never forget to dream, because when you stop dreaming, you stop living. 

Explore. Figure out who you really are by seeing and meeting new things and people. 

Wonder. Never stop being curious, and never stop exploring the things that you are curious about. 

Create. Be sure to make your mark on the world by the time your life is over. Create your brand by showing the world who you are at your heart's level, and make it so the world will never forget. 

Live. Last but not least live life as the person that you truly are, do not sway from this person, and never settle, blaze your own path through life. 

Doing these things will allow for you to live a happy, and fulfilled life, without regret, and will also serve as an inspiration to many others.

Being Yourself...


Fully confident of whom you are,

Humbly fulfilling the purpose of your life,

Serving others in peace and harmony,

Living a holistic life,

Fully integrating meaning and purpose

In everything you do.

When you are accepting yourself

- created in the image of the Creator

You will be yourself in a creative way,

Confidently exploring the talents given to you,

Blessing and serving your neighbors,

Releasing them to develop their own unique gifts

When you dare to be yourself

You help others to be free

- from the fear of men

- from the tyranny of accepted opinions

When you dare to be yourself

You prove to yourself that you are somebody

And people around you will look up to you.

CHANGE...

"It's OK not to know, life is filled with mystery and change. If you live by standards or consistency, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. Life is all about change, every second, the world, the weather, earth, emotions, are all constantly changing. Live for the moment because no one has the power to control time, so go with the flow and absorb all you can along the way."
