Lesson: Laugh at yourself before anyone else gets a chance to. People have a hard time trying to make someone feel bad about something when that perosn got there first, eh?

Lesson: Always be faithful to whatever you are going into. Whether it be a relationship or a job. And if you want a translated version of half of that lesson..

Don't you dare cheat on the woman/man you love. No matter how sore things are going, the faith will always bring you closer to them.

Yeah, I believe in that. I go with the whole "karma" thing, I think it's pretty much true too.

I think the fortune cookie message I have taped to my desk is the best advice I've ever got:

"[Don't let anything get] in the way of your vision of yourself in the future."

Okay, I know this may sound cheap and like i'm ripping it off, but this is so true.
Do not fear. Fear is the mind killer. [in other words, for me at least] if you're dwelling on some mistake/screwup you mae and keep thinking about it, things will only get worse. kinda like the whole Karma deal.
===Personal example ahead===
some A**hole of a kid was annoting me to death last year in HS. i kept saying each day[to myself] "don't let it get to you", but I did. It got worse because i thought about "what if it does get to me?" and "what will I do?" which pretty much lead to me having a bad year emotionally.
==end example==
If that doesn't help, then this will have to do:
Everyone that comes into your life has a purpose. you're either in their life to make them happy, or they're in their life to teach you some kind of lesson.
==another example==
today was my g/fs B-day. I was being a cheap***[but loving at the same time] by making her a tribute video set to "glory of love" and using photos from past events w/ us. I sent it to her last night, since she was kinda upset, and when she watched the video, she pretty much just went into goo. started crying happy tears..saying "I love you"..like it was the biggest thing anyone had ever done for her.
==end example==
the lesson here: your life can change another for better or for worse.

that's my 2 cents.

Don't Eat Yellow Snow.

one of the most important things to do in life is smile....

smiles will do things for you that you can't imagine, no matter who it is at, or even if you have to force it, smile at everyone you possibly can.

Be happy

Fulfull your God given purpose in life through Christ.
And don't hate small beginnings. ( Trust me, if you knew that the person who dresses shabby, and looks geeky today, would be rich tomorrow, you wouldn't look down on that person today)
Oh and Love Jesus with all your heart!!

We all go through difficult experiences and times in our life, but getting through them, learning from your mistakes and failures makes you a better person.
