I think there are many lessons that I have learned in life lately. I don't know exactly what has brought them all about and I'm not exactly sure how I have come to terms with it, but it really boggles my mind. Here are a few:

• Be Thankful for what you have: You might not be getting exactly what you want in life, but if what you have makes you happy then what is the problem. Typically it's only a problem when you compare it to someone elses life.
• Don't blow things out of proportion: For the most part everything is pretty easy to figure out. If someone tells you that something is needing to be changed, then listen to them. It probably needs to be changed it's not some huge underlying issue.
• Take care of yourself: No one else should have to do it for you. You shouldn't NEED to have someone else helping you out. You should always be the number one person in your life. Don't bend and strain to impress others.
• Spend time with people you love: They have a special power to be able to melt your stress away. They know you well enough to help you forget your troubles and they are almost always good for a laugh. Taking socialization out of your life will not help you get more accomplished, it'll only add to the stress.
• Sit back and listen: When you are with people who are being so negative and complaining about everything in life it is ok to not jump in and join. It's ok to just sit and listen and let them vent. Sometimes complaining just to add to feel included in a conversation makes the rest of your day a downer. While listening sit back and think about everything that you are thankful for.
