as i am,,,

1. Honor Yourself and realize you are a unique person with your own destiny to fulfill. No one except you knows what is the right path for you to follow, thus you must keep tuning into those silent-loud messages your heart sends you.
2. Respect yourself. Respect yourself for your uniqueness and understand that everyone is on their own life journey.
3. Forget about what others think of you. The most valued opinion should be yours alone.
4. Accept both your dark shadows and the bright light that shines forth from you loving qualities, thus accept the totality of who you are.
5. Watch Your Self-judgement and Self-criticism.
6. Take Nothing Personally.
7. Remember That Everyone is Always Doing Their Best, thus you must practice forgiveness.
8. Forgive your self and forgive others when screw ups happen; this lightens your heart and adds tremendous energy to your life.
9. Think creatively when challenges present themselves, which they'll do until the day you depart this earth plane.
10. Be thankful for all the gifts you have and take care of your body, mind, and spirit, as no one else knows how to more than you do, even when they seem to.
11. Live in the present moment: the past is dead ( like a canceled check) and the future is a promissory note, it may or may not arrive. Spend the cash NOW, for example. Buy what you love, spend it on gifts. You'll feel so much more joy when you can actually use the opportunities you've earned. Don't be too careful, but don't be too careless either! Just enjoy yourself. Play! Live every day like it's your last!
