Notes to myself about life:
Life isn't always fair or easy, But it is still good. Time will help.
What you do today is practicing for your future. If you want a different future, change what you are doing today.
If something in your life is not right, strive to correct it immediately. Problems soon become too familiar and we begin to accept them as a matter of habit. Bad habits are hard to stop.
When Happiness knocks at your door, Open it.

Save 10% of every dollar you make. You will never miss this small percentage and if saved over a long time with interest it grows a lot.
We become like the people we associate with. Choose your companions well.
We are the result of what we think about.
Achieving a goal is often complicated by the fact that we don't really (specifically) know what we want. Once we know what we want, committing to the work required to achieve it is easier.

Learn good problem solving techniques. It improves relationships and every other part of life.
Learn to argue fairly: No name calling, no physical contact, no abuse. Find a time when you are both rested and calm. Each person state their view and the other restate it to show they heard you. Stay on topic, don't bring up every gripe. Decide if you want to win the argument or solve the problem… the former is a waste of time, the latter helps.
Move at the speed of Trust.

They say opposites attract, but sharing your life with someone who has similar background and interests, beliefs and energy can make a relationship a lot simpler.
Having confidence is a very attractive asset. Find something you enjoy and become an expert in it. It will help you build self confidence.
If you want something, don't be afraid to ask / work for it. If you don't try you are assured of not getting it.

You got yourself where you are, how are you going to get yourself where you want to be?

Investing in your education, it is the best investment you can ever make and it can't be taken away. You may not see the value now, but some day you will need it.
Extend yourself..... reach out to others and get involved. Expand your world.
You can learn to be friendly. Smile and extend a hand in greeting. Learn to make others comfortable around you and you will be comfortable around them. You can learn to chit chat (small talk), it is a great social ice-breaker. It gets easier with practice.

Never stop learning. Regularly take a class in something that is of interest or benefits your work or life. Learn a new skill, take up a new hobby. Knowledge brings new vitality and spirit into you life, makes you happier and a more interesting friend.
Education is important because a well educated person is one who is comfortable in a wider variety of situations.
Life is like a bank account, you get out of it what you put into it. It is amazing how one can know nothing about something, but after spending some time with it, you begin to understand and find interest in it quite well.
If doing the right thing seems strange to you, this indicates how far you are from where you should be.
Travel widely, experiment boldly and love deeply.

4. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does!

Thoughts on changing....
what story are you telling by your actions, dress, lifestyle?
consider changing your understanding of yourrole in any issue.
we are an illusion of our own making. we do have control of this image.
positive change usually requires "stepping up your game".
change usually requires more energy from you.
focus beyond thinking, try acting.
fake it until you make it:
practice being the person you want to be and you will become it.

we become like those we associate with.
we are what we think about.
is the impression you are making the one you want to make?
what are you bringing to the "party"? make yourself interesting or worthwhile to others.
Every day that we ignore solving our problems is another day we remain unhappy.

Sometime when we have a want for a "thing", upon deeper exploring we realize that what we really want is a feeling or emotion we think we will get from that thing. For example, if you want a new car, is it the car you want or is it the feeling you get from the relationship you have with the car (feeling important, impressing other, etc.). What is the "emotion or feeling" you are trying to achieve or convey?
It may be more direct just to try and satisfy the feeling without the bother of the new car.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” ―
