Since I was looking back at some old posts tonight, I decided to pull this one up. I did this on post on January 1st, to remember certain things I wanted to practice in 2010. Doesn’t hurt to go back and see what those things were. If you never read this, hope you enjoy it !

1. Remember to love and be loving at all times, NO MATTER WHAT, even when (especially when) it hurts. If you keep this in mind when facing hardships, I guarantee you they will seem less bigger than they really are.

2. If you want to receive %100 out of a person or situation, you must first be willing to give %100 of  yourself. You will get what you put in, at all times.

3.  Believe in yourself and your potential at all times. If you don’t no one else will.

4. Never take anything in your life for granted, be grateful for every opportunity, every person. Remember it could always be worst. The moment you begin to take things for granted in your life, they will be taken away.

5.  No matter how bad it seems, always remember that it will come to pass. Obstacles are placed in our way to help us grow and learn.

6. Never be afraid of taking a risk (well calculated of course), you may never have that chance to have the same opportunity twice.

7. Life doesn’t wait for anyone, remember to make the most of every moment and live every day to the fullest.

8. Dream big and dare to make your dreams come true ALWAYS ! You only have one life and you don’t want to wake up with a bunch of regrets, wondering what could have been.

9. Don’t waste any of your precious valuable time on anyone who doesn’t deserve it. If they don’t recognize your value or worth, keep it moving. Don’t try to argue or understand why, it will only cause you to doubt yourself.

Although this is the last rule, it is the most important one. Without this rule none of these are possible, so last but not least.

10.  ALWAYS put yourself FIRST, if you fail to do this, you will most likely fail at a lot of things. It is impossible for you to care about anyone, excel at anything if you refuse to take care of yourself first. All too often we forget this rule and it creates a lot of chaos when we do.
