Don’t give any person 100% of your trust. That goes even for some of your closest friends. This is especially true in business.
Don’t tell everyone everything about yourself. This goes hand-in-hand with my point above. You never know who may use something you said against you or someone you love.
Don’t rely upon anyone person too much. It allows them to take advantage of you or the situation.
Don’t be so single-minded in success that you forget those around you that you love most. They will be there for you most need it when all the others associated with your success may not.
Do unto others that you expect onto yourself. Very basic and needs no further explanation.
Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration. Thomas Edison said this the best. Success starts with inspiration, but hard work and perseverance are what ensures it comes to fruition.
Spend time with your kids! Show them your love, provide them all the attention they need, and most importantly show them the respect they deserve as they grow older. You are ensuring that they become good people and contributing citizens in the next generation.
Don’t always rush into a situation head-first. Think before you react. Be ready to lose the battle but win the war.
Don’t talk using so many colorful metaphors. It only looks like makes you look like a low-life and someone who is very shallow.
Don’t let regret hold you down. Rise and always look forward. Everyday brings something new.
Self Respect: If you have to beg someone to treat you like a decent human being, leave.
True Colors: When someone shows who they are with actions, not words, believe them. Words mean nothing, action mean everything.
Love: Most won’t find it, and if you do, show patience the person will show you different. The one you love the most can inflict the most damage.
Trust: Don’t willingly give it away. Make a person gain your trust, be selective on who you give it to. Most aren’t worthy of it.
Priority: If a partner shows you time and time again, you are a mere object, not a priority, believe them, leave.
Health: Treat the body with love, or you will suffer the consequences.
100 years from now: You most likely won’t be remembered by many, and a distant memory to some. Make a lasting impression.
Selfish: There are a lot of selfish people in the world. The more empathic and feelings you have, you will attract the worse of the worse. Beware.
Self Awareness: We aren’t born with it. We develop it with life lessons. Pay careful attention. Without it, you will suffer immensely.
Childhood Trauma: If you don’t deal with it, it has a way of dealing with itself. You will find the most abusive toxic assholes. You will meet the very person to relive all that unhealed trauma you knew nothing about, in the same abusive way, maybe worse.
Self Love: Is rarely sought out, because it isn’t easily found. Take care of yourself, don’t look to others for your self worth. Know you are enough, period. Don’t settle.
