The Five Rules I Live By…
1. Be brave even if your not, pretend to be. No one can tell the difference.
2. Learn to listen. Oppurtunity sometimes knocks very softly.
3. When someone hugs you let them be the first to let go.
4. Laugh a lot. A good sense of humor cures almost all of life’s ills.
5. Don’t expect life to be fair.
My life has had its ups and downs as everyone’s has but these are the most important things I’ve learned. Here’s how I’ve learned them.
1. Life can be terrifying but as scared as you are, chances are you aren’t the only one. Sometimes other people need your strength in order to get through it.
2. Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone has been through incredible/scary/horrible/amazing things in their lives and MOST people are eager to talk about them to people that want to listen.
3. Sometimes when words fail all you can do hold on until they want to let go.
4. Beyond every bad day, and every horrible experience are people that love you and care about you. Laugh with them as much as you can and when you look back try to remember those moments instead of the bad.
5. The good times wouldn’t be as good if you didn’t have the bad ones. Life isn’t ever going to go according to plan…it’s adapting that will turn you into the person you are.
