- Realise that life isn’t always fair. Accept what you must, and change what you can
- Think before you act. A moment of carelessness or anger can cause years of anguish and regret.
- Look for the beauty in life, in people, in nature, and in yourself.
- Appreciate what you have: the people, the opportunities, the material possessions.
- Make the effort to have fun: it’s a great way to bond with others, and it makes some of the best memories.
- Set aside some time for yourself. Do something you enjoy without feeling even a little guilty.
- Accept others without judgment. Everyone is unique, and it’s okay to be different.
- Forgive. Bitterness and resentment hurt you more than the person you direct them at.
- Learn. Open your mind to new ideas and activities, and don’t be afraid to try.
- Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself, and go for what you want.
