What is the best advice you've ever been given?

[graykittenlove]

Don't conform to anyone else's idea of normal. Their just as weird as you are just in a different way.

Love yourself first and everything else will fall in line.

Trust in God.

Take the time to tell people how you feel about them everyday. You never know when you'll never see them again.

You can't choose your family, you just have to accept them.

And....

Don't eat yellow snow...or for that matter brown snow.

That's a lovely one. I don't do this nearly enough.

Never go to bed angry... It's not guaranteed that you'll wake up...

Everything happens for a reason... Never question it just take it for what it's worth and learn all you can from it....

Learn to be happy within yourself because when all is said and done, you are the only thing you've got...

If you don't want anyone to know your secrets keep your mouth shut! You never know who you can truly trust... (This one is more true than anything)

I don't remember the sources of all of this advice, but use it in my daily life:

If you don't ask for something, the answer is always "no".

What goes around, comes around.

When you want to throw a pity party, no one will want to come.

Don't push the river, it will flow by itself.

And from my mom (I was shy as a child): "speak up"

"Just pretend you know how." I was shocked at how much I could really do.

There is a reason that we only have one mouth and two ears - its so we listen a lot more to what other people are saying....

My Dad said:

"Life is hard...
Life is VERY hard... Once you get that into your head, you can move on with whatever life hands out to you..." (He was right!)

THANK YOU DAD--I love you!!!
