1. Gratitude

Count your blessings. Don't ever go a day without giving thanks, and realizing how grateful you are for the things around you. There is no doubt in my mind that everyone has something to be grateful for. Hold on to those things. Don't look at what you don't have. Look at what you do have and how fortunate you are to be where you are in life.

Even if this point in your life is one of hardship, you are growing and becoming stronger through your trials. Don't let the gratitude slip away.

2. Positivity

Starting your day with a bad attitude never gets you anywhere. Go into each day with an "I got this" attitude. The world needs a lot more positivity, let it start with you.

3. Cleanliness

Not just on the outside. Be clean on the inside. Take care of yourself mentally and physically, and take care of the areas around you.

4. Stronger relationships

Learn to become a better friend, daughter, son, mother, father, grandfather, boyfriend, girlfriend, wife, husband, than you already are. Relationships take work and the more effort you put in, the better your relationships will be.

5. Passion

Find things that excite you and make you want to jump out of bed every morning

6. Healthiness

Now, I don't mean setting unrealistic standards for yourself in the gym or with what you eat or how you look. I mean, make sure you FEEL healthy. Don't let yourself go, take care of yourself and put good things in you, mentally and physically.

7. Me time

Have one day a week be a day of relaxation. Often times we lose our motivation in the business of life. Take time for yourself and do things that you don't HAVE to do. Do things not on a deadline. Take time for leisure.

8. Patience

Learn more patience. Letting the future grab hold of you will drag you down. Don't let the unknown make you fearful or impatient. Let it ignite you to live in the moment and take each day as a gift. We are never promised tomorrow so focus on the now.

9. Happiness

Because your happiness matters and it important. You need to be living a life you are happy with. Find the little things that make you enjoy life and make you happy to wake up every day.

10. Finding joy in the little things

Little things can change your attitude in a heartbeat. Life's little moments are inspiring and raw and beautiful. Don't miss out on them.

11. Kindness

Don't tear others down, lift them up. Treat others how you would want to be treated. Smile at strangers, hold doors open for people, make conversations with someone new. Be you, be real, be kind.

12. Being present

Don't get caught up and all the bad, stressful, uncertain things. Look up from your phone, take out your headphones. Look around, use your eyes, and see the world and life around you. You were given this beautiful life, don't let it pass you by.
