Dear Friends

Dear friends,
Let me tell you some thoughts and things I have learned..

Believe in yourself and try to be a good person
Be true to yourself, Dont give up on your dreams, they might come true

I know that some ways we have to do and be things to other people that we dont want to be, (For example Jobs) but please dont lose sight of your dreams.

Please dont think you have to live up to my or others expectations unless that is what you want.
Expectations sometimes will not be met and thats ok. The other person has expectations too, although a lot of times expectations lead to disappointments, So dont depend on expectations.

Try not to judge people.

You cant get rid of problems, its a part of life- today if it rains, remember pretty soon the flowers will come to bloom.

Its noble to help other people even if it is stressful to deal with people.

Sometimes the ones that need your help dont talk about their problems. They are too afraid to speak up and reach out. We all hurt sometimes. Others will tell you their problems, help them too.Dont dismiss them.. There might be ways you could make them smile or laugh.

Use your pain to help others, you know how you feel when you are down, so you can imagine how it could make someone else feel. But dont take the world on your shoulders.

Take care of yourself, friends, family and community but dont be a door mat if someone hurts you physically or emotionally, then leave that person immediatelyDont chase after those who treat you wrong, there are people out there that are better for you

Dont discard your mistakes, You can learn a lot of valuable lessons from your mistakes but dont dwell on your mistakes too much, just admit you made a mistake and try to do better in the future. forgive yourself for making mistakes and dont regret anything.

Money cannot make you happy, the greatest wealth is inside you., your mind, your beautiful qualities, and values. Ways to make you become rich by making your wants few, 1.You dont have a lot to carry, 2. You wont miss them if they are gone 3. You are rich because you smile,4. You are rich because you brighten someones day.5. As long as you get what you need, it will be ok, 6. If your health is good, then you are rich in health. 7. Use what you have.

No matter how much you dont like something, you have a choice, you can make the best of the situation by making a game out of it or thinking of things that make you smile.

Dont be afraid to love yourself and others, Love comes from within, Dont give up on love.

Learn to give and take, Compromise, there will be things that bug you about them, but dont focus on that, just remember why you like them..

I hope they treat you with love and respect

Be respectful and you will be liked.

Question everything, the answers that matter to you are the most important, there are no bad questions, We dont find the answers unless we ask, but dont trust every answer you get, The answer is just an opinion, the answer changes from person to person, time to time, the answer is based on information you have at the time. So you can never be truly wrong, only misguided. Plus whatever you find within, is yours,

Whether you share your answers is up to you, Ive debated whether to share my mine, sometimes people relate sometimes people dont, some people want to know and others dont. A benefit of sharing your questions and answers is that a person can feel less alone.

One negative aspect is people could get jealous, steal your ideas, ( Although we get ideas fro people all the time, who knows, where the real sources come from) and may become mean toward you.

People dont like to color outside the lines very often, sad but true.

Be afraid of only standing still, When you stop trying and do nothing, you have stopped growing or evolving

Please enjoy the time you have, each moment is precious. Appreciate the many things that make your life so valuable. It doesnt matter too much what things, I just want you to find something that will give you a reason to stay alive.

Some days are harder than others. But remember even if no one else cares, I still care. And someone else might too

My hope is that the world will get better and you cope well.
