extra reminders
*Be happy with what you have and cannot have, haha. Remind yourself that you're one lucky child that even if you can't have the things you want, you still have my family - they're more important than anything and anyone else in this world. You should realize than you are blessed to have a complete, loving, happy family.
*Life is too fast to spend time envying others, being lonely and pathetic, and comparing myself with others.
*Share your blessings with others....pioneer radical change.
*Let go and keep moving forward because even if it hurts, there's still beauty in it.
*Stop being materialistic and greedy.
*Be humble but learn how to fight and to say no.
*Stop being so emotional. Stop crying...too much of it is bad.
*Live the present moment otherwise we suffer... life passes us without experiencing it and when we look back, we realize there's nothing really to remember.

“We all think we’re going to be great and we feel a little bit robbed when our expectations aren’t met. But sometimes expectations sell us short. Sometimes the expected simply pales in comparison to the unexpected. You got to wonder why we cling to our expectations, because the expected is just what keeps us steady. Standing. Still, the expected’s just the beginning, the unexpected is what changes our lives.”

“Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.”

“We have to make our own mistakes. We have to learn our own lessons. We have to sweep today’s possibility under tomorrow’s rug until we can’t anymore, until we finally understand for ourselves like Benjamin Franklin meant. That knowing is better than wondering, that waking is better than sleeping. And that even the biggest failure, even the worst most intractable mistake beats the hell out of never trying.”
