THE GREATEST ADVICE

Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable. (you'll
end up MORE miserable)
Don't have kids because you think your genes are
superior.
Don't philander because you think you are
irresistible.

Don't associate with people you can't trust.
(it's better to trust only
a
FEW people)
Don't cheat.
Don't lie.
Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.

Don't sleep around because you think you are old
enough and know
better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is
harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your
ideals. Don't stagnate.

Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time CAN'T bring
anything or anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr/Ms
Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr/Ms
Wrong because your
biological
clock is ticking.

Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won.
Only a price to be paid for some of life's more
hasty decisions.

To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the
homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts, care for the
needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all
the wrong reasons.

To make yourself happy, pursue your passions and
be the best of what
you can be.
SIMPLIFY your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive
friends, nasty habits, and
dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't
overdose on duty.

Don't live life recklessly without thought and
feeling for your family.
Be TRUE to yourself. (show your TRUE colors)
Don't commit when you are NOT ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.

Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass. (or
the moment will PASS
you
by)
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.

Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Run in the rain.
Dance with wild abandon.
Sing your heart out.
Cry at the movies.

Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to
take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
NO ONE completes you - except YOU.

It is true that life does not get easier with
age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to
love.
Pursue your passions.

Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in the Good LORD.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
