Live in the moment.
In this world we are so caught up with technology; Internet (facebook, email etc) cellphones (texting, talking etc) the list goes on. We sit around and play on the computer (as I'm doing now) and send messages or comments to our friends. That is crazy, we're not living in the moment, we're merely experiencing it from the sidelines as it's wasting away. Get up and go talk to your friend, have a cup of coffee, sit and chat, truly ask your friends how they are - listen to what they have to say. Be there for them not just a comment on the Internet or text in their phone.

Love with your whole heart. Not a piece of it, the whole thing.
You'll even have your heart broken, not that I want you to, but I think everyone does, sometime. And it makes you who you are...and it's another experience that you should have. It will make you're "true" love even stronger.
Commitment is commitment is commitment. If you commit, stick with it. No matter what. No quitting. No half-assing. You're in it for the long haul. 110%.

"Love is patient, love is kind, and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own (will), is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - Apostle Paul

Life isn't always fair.
-It sounds so cliche, and you'll hear it a lot, but it's true. We don't always get what we want. Sometimes it works out for the better even though it's almost impossible to accept at the moment, later you may look back and realize that it all worked out okay.
People will let you down.
-Even when they don't mean to. The hard part is learning who didn't mean to, who's really sorry, and who cares about what they did...

Turn up the music and dance.
Listen to all kinds of music and don't let someone else convince you that what you like is right or wrong. Sing at the top of your lungs, who cares what you sound like! Dancing is good for the soul.

"Do to others as you would have them do to you."

Live by The Golden Rule. Think first before you act...what effects will your actions have on someone else?
Practice empathy and compassion.
Be courteous and respectful.
Take the time to listen to someone.
