As I've said before I have grown tremendously while in college and this time at home has caused me to grow even more. I have goals as to where I want to be in life and what I want to work on as well as an even better outlook on my life and the people I have in it. As I have learned from experiences in my own life I want to share and give advice in anyway I can. So please: Love. Fall in love with yourself. Build self-confidence by thinking positive thoughts about your appearance, body and personality. Know your worth and love everything about yourself. Love your family. They play such a key part in the formation of your definition of what love is and what it looks like. Love the way they tease. Love the way they care. Love the way they guide you. Love others. Love friends and the people you seek as significant others. Accept their unique qualities, understand their perspectives and fall in love with everything that makes them an individual. Be fearless. Allow yourself to feel the deep emotions that everyone seems to be so terrified of feeling these days. Love the world and the beauty that surrounds you. Love the way the seasons change. Love the way people make you believe in the unbelievable. Learning to love in the most genuine ways opens so many doors in life and will only make it a million times more enjoyable. Change. If you aren't changing then you are not doing anything to challenge yourself or grow. I am a totally different person than who I was in high school and I have zero regrets about that. I became a better, more complete person by making the choice to change myself so I could led happier with life. Change is GREAT! Set goals for yourself to make yourself a better person. Then set more to become an even better person. Change the way you spend your free time. Open your mind to new experiences that will allow you to grow and form into the person you want to be. Step out of your comfort zones. Form opinions on concepts and current issues. Eat healthier and workout. You may see that some people don't like who you are changing into and that is usually because they are uncomfortable with the idea of you changing. You may not fit into the standards or expectations that they have for you but that is okay. That's great! Be your own person. Don't ever allow someone to make you feel guilty for changing into a better version of yourself. Learn. Open your mind to any and everything. Watch the news. Educate yourself on things of interest to you or things you want to learn more about. If there is something that you are passionate about or can't stop talking about when someone brings it up, learn more about it. Don't hide the things that make you passionate, no matter what people say. Learn that there is more to life than materialistic things. Talk intellectually with others because this will make you learn even more about other perspectives and values people have. Travel. Learn about other cultures and the way of life of other people in the world. Learn about international and national issues/current events. Learn about others. What they enjoy and what they don't. Learn your flaws and accept them. Learning and change lead to dramatic growth and that will prove highly beneficial to your life. Be happy. One of the most important things I have learned is how to make myself happy. Being happy is completely ambiguous because there are very many different things that make each and every one of us happy. Take where you are now and see what it will take you to do to become truly happy with your life as a whole, and do it! People will try and bring you down. They will try to make you feel bad for the way you are changing or the life you are choosing but don't let them. Don't let anyone ruin your growth or alter your satisfaction with life. Forgive people that have done you wrong because grudges aren't worth it. Become so happy with your life that it is almost sickening to others. Be a inspiration for others and guide them to want to make their lives happier. Find the way of life that fuels you and makes you excited to live. Do what makes you happy. Be happy because life is too short to be living any other way.
