Realization: Living a happy, fulfilled life full of lessons, growth, health, and love is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
While this may seem obvious, so many people struggle to find their balance and motivation.... here's the tips I've found help me the most, and since I learned how to share well in kindergarten, I'll share these secrets with you :
1. Give people more than they expect from you
2. Marry someone you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other
3. Don't believe all you hear, save all you have, and sleep all you want
4. Walk- it's good for your health and your heart- and meditate (no, not the crossed leg-humming-waterfall music kind of mediation... Spend 5 minutes with a clear mind every morning and night)
5. Believe in love at first sight
6. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams, don't have much.
7. Love deeply, and passionately
8. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
9. Don't ever judge people by their relatives
10. Talk slowly, but think quickly
11. Remember great love and great achievements involve great risk
12. Don't ever rely on someone else for your happiness, it's easier to be there for someone when you are in a good mind set
13. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze
14. When you lose, don't lose the lesson
15. Don't ever let a little dispute ruin a good friendship... That being said, don't ever be around someone that's okay with bringing you down.
16. Smile when picking up the phone, the caller will hear it in your voice
17. Learn to cook
18. Have a list of life accomplishments you want to achieve. When you create it, be sure to add a thing or two you are already proud of, and check them off
19. Write it out. Ideas, feelings, recipes, quotes. Anything that brings you inspiration.
20. Lastly, always keep growing.
