My Dear Brother and Sisters

My Darlings

When you apologize, you better mean it.

If someone smiles at you, smile back.

Don’t be angry, it’s a waste of energy.

Hold the door open even if no one thanks you.

Always be nice, to everyone.

Value your friends as your family, because you’ll need them.

Laugh as often as you can, it heals.

Overcome the fear of vulnerability, true risks and joy lie therein.

Serve. Always, always serve.

Be a true disciple of Christ at all times, in all things, and in all places.

Realize pessimism but revel in optimism.

Go out of your way to care for someone everyday.

Don’t dream of the future too much, you’ll lose the present.

Take a break but work hard.

Tell the truth.

Exercise your creativity every once in a while.

Everything depends on your faith, so use it.

Do not quit.

Write down what makes you happy.

Trust the Lord like He’s all you have, because, really, He is.

Make memories; they’re all you take.

Listen to your parents, believe it or not they DO know what they’re talking about.

Don’t be offended; learn from criticism.

Be yourself, or be no one, but don’t be fake.

Jealousy is silly and worthless. Be confident in what you do have.

Walk tall and walk strong.

Realize your own potential and develop it.

Never give up hope in a better world.

Don’t regret what you can’t change.

Enjoy life; don’t just endure it.

People will respect you for a kind word. Kindness is the key.

You create happiness. You choose it.

Rules are there for a reason. Follow them.

Hold on. You think it’s the end, but it’s not.

Love your family. After all, you’re stuck with them.

Do not criticize or judge. You are better than that.

Watch your language, beautiful minds don’t use ugly words.

Think highly of everyone.

Stay committed. Make decisions and stick to them.

Gossip is contagious and dangerous, so rise above it.

Wait for love, it will come.

Seek the fun but appreciate the serious.

Have integrity. It’s unique and right.

Find beauty in the world.

Care for yourself and your spirit.

Do your homework.

Always smile.

Pray.

Remember who you are.

And remember,

that I love you.
