Things I've Learned

Some things I've learned:

Never take anything or anyone for granted.

Don't assume you'll have forever to mend your differences or tell XXXX that you love/appreciate them.

Don't waste time. Please note this does NOT mean the same thing as "never relax." I mean: be aware of how you spend your time. It's one thing to sit in front of the tv for three hours straight because there's a movie you REALLY want to watch and another thing to sit there idly surfing channels just because you figure there's nothing better to do.

Don't sacrifice your own values to keep everyone else happy (an impossible task, anyway). You'll end up miserable and resentful.

Don't let yourself get into a rut.

Always be learning something new.

From time to time, purposely put yourself in a situation that challenges you somehow, forces you to push beyond your safe little bubble.

Live every moment as fully as you can.
