Some Daily Reminders

With stressful workdays to hectic schedules that leave you gasping for breath, it's simply too easy to forget about the true meanings behind our very existence and what's truly important. As life bears its sharp highs to the torturous lows, keep this short list in the back burner of your mind.

1. Not One Drop of Your Self-Worth Depends Upon Others.

Your outlook and judgment of yourself comes from deep within, and no on else's opinion or perspective of you should change that. YOU and only yourself determine your stance on the world and self esteem, and no one else's opinion maters of you matters, as long as you accept who you are.

2. Life is short, too short.

The hour hand on the clock never stops or waits for anyone, so if you've always been waiting to travel across the world to Europe, now is the time! Book the trip, start investing the money, and do NOT wait for the next year, because next year may turn into next decade. And soon enough, the trip never happens, and suddenly, you get older and older. Now is the time, so hold on to life while you have it.

3. Take Risks

Think about future you sitting silently in the nursing home, while could be hard to even fathom. Fifty years from now, do you think future you will be saying, "I'm so glad I stayed in that one night and got a good nights sleep"? No, of course not! If your actions don't go as planned, well hey, that's just another lesson you can teach those grandkids, but just don't forget to live a little.

4. Your the Captain of Your Own Ship

The life your living established itself because of YOUR actions, and what you've created. If you don't like your job, hey who filled out that application and sat through the interview? As your own captain, it's never too late to alter the sails of your ship and change the course.

5. Embrace Change

The inevitable change is going to happen throughout your life, but the best way to deal with change? Embrace it! An open mind leads to an open heart, and if your can't get out of the situation, you may as well get into it!

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
