How I Strive to Live

ONE: Stop labeling so you can start living.

TWO: Live in the moment before the moment becomes yesterday, yesterday becomes the past, the past turn into history and you’re looking back wishing you had more time.

THREE: A little goes a long way.

FOUR: Tell the people you love that you love them. It doesn’t hurt anyone to spread a little more compassion in the world. Make it known you couldn’t go through life without them, before you are a caught in a moment where you are forced to go through life without them.

FIVE: Life is a balancing act; if you don’t put ample effort into each area of your life, you’ll lose that area of your life.

SIX: Work hard, play hard. Don’t lose sight of your goals, but don’t lose sight of what makes you feel alive, either.

SEVEN: Be respectful of others. You never know where that person is from, what they have been through, or how you could change their life.

EIGHT: Everyone you cross paths with you meet for a reason: a blessing or a lesson, and even lessons are blessings.

NINE: Be selfless in how you treat others, but not in how you treat yourself.

TEN: Smile, it looks good on you, and laugh, it’s good for you.

    I noticed your a lot of your rules mention your relationship with other people… It seems like a good guess that you value those around you a lot. Do you feel as though you sometimes are not as connected with others?

    I like the college of photos — it clearly relates to your rules and shows the sociable part of you. Your blog is neat and simple, with a nice color scheme.
