Ten Suggestions for a Brighter Future

• Realize that life is not always fair. Accept what you must and change what you can.
• Think before you act. A moment of carelessness or anger can cause years of anguish and regret.
• Look for the beauty in life, in people, in nature and in yourself.
• Appreciate what you have: that people, the opportunities, the material possessions.
• Make the effort to have fun: its a great way to bond with others, and it makes some of the best memories.
• Set aside some time for yourself. Do something you enjoy without feeling even a little guilty.
• Accept others without judgment. Everyone is unique and its okay to be different.
• Forgive. Bitterness and resentment hurt you more than the person you direct them at.
• Learn. Open your mind to new ideas and do not be afraid to try.
• Dream. Make plans, believe in yourself and go for what you want.
