I wrote these random ideas for another project, and as they were so well received there I thought I would share them here also. Enjoy!
Look after your body, it's the only one that you get. Quit the fatty foods, the caffeine, the alcohol, the smoking, the sugar, all the rubbish. Go outside, breathe clean air, eat delicious fruit, run around, have fun, laugh a little, enjoy being alive. Your body will love you for it.
Do all the crazy things that you want to do, even if you think they are abnormal. Who wants to be normal anyway???, you end up in a job you hate to earn enough to keep being normal. When you realise it's a waste of time, it's too late.
Always be yourself, because you're the one who has to live with who you are.
Expand your mind with new ideas and different points of view. Don't get stuck on old beliefs that were passed down by somebody else. Soak up a variety of opinions and learn from them, and then decide for yourself. Think your own thoughts and build your own beliefs, then grow your own dreams.
Love yourself for who you are. Respect your own values, admire your own strength, love your own passion, live your own dreams. When you can do this, others will love you, and your world will be fulfilling and happy.
Learn to say you're sorry, they deserve it.
Appreciate what other people bring into your life. Let them know that you appreciate them. Tell them before it's too late, because one day they might be gone.
Forgive people who make mistakes, especially if the person is you.
Ask for help when you need it. Nobody can manage everything by themselves, and if you try, you are sure to fail. Other people come into your life for a reason, use their support, knowledge and skills when they offer it. Let them help you with the things you can't manage on your own. Don't fail alone, win together.
Occupy your mind. Read, write, listen to music, sing, do puzzles, study your interests, explore your hobbies, discover things that fascinate you. Never stop learning.
Do something that scares the living daylights out of you. Do it to show yourself how strong you are. Do it to show yourself you have the courage to face your fears. Do it to bring greater experiences into your life. Do it because if you never face your fears, they will surround you and grow until you can't face life. Do it because you can, and because the fear can't win.
Create something that reflects your personality. Share yourself with the world.
Don't worry about what other people think of you. If they don't like you or what you do, that's their business. There are six billion people in the world and they are all different. Find the ones that are more like you, and you will fit right in. The people who matter will always love you no matter what you do.
Bring your imagination to life. You can never be bored when you have your imagination with you. Invent people, places, ideas, worlds, recipes, songs, words, whatever you can think of. Create a wonderful, exciting world inside your head and take it with you wherever you go. It's the ultimate entertainment system.
Remember the little things. They make the biggest difference.
Don't settle for less than you deserve. You deserve to be happy.
Reach for the sky, you can do anything you want to do. Think big!
