20 thing I've learned in my 20 years
Sometimes it's better to say nothing at all
Giving can teach you how to be grateful
If you really look, there's always something to be positive about.. Often times, more than not!
You are a walking witness. Everyday! To someone older, younger, equal in age or even a stranger! Watch how you carry yourself.
Pay attention the first time. You may not always get a second chance- and often when you do it's too late.
Everyone is a child of God.. Worthy of your time, love and respect.
Listening is often more essential than talking.
Prayer is talking to your closest friend.. Treat it as such. It isn't meant to be a gripe session or a wish list. You don't say your part and walk away. Listen for a response and learn to accept whatever it is.
Life is not, has never been and will never be about you. When it doesn't go your way, choose to see it as a lesson or opportunity.. Don't feel attacked and abandoned
You don't need material things, you want them. List is the root of unhappiness.
One day your parents aren't the mean, stupid people you've thought them to be. They're kind and wise. You will one day open your mouth and hear your mother/father
In turn, your siblings are no longer the worlds greatest nuisance. Rather, a friend that looks like you.
Work. If you're tired. Work. If you're sad. Work. If you're wealthy. Work. It does the soul good to earn your way in the world.
Pray for your enemies and for your heart towards them.
Don't just go to church, be the church.
Know your abilities but don't be afraid to challenge them.
It will always work out, somehow.
Don't take 19 for granted.. Ready to move on to 20.. Some never make it. Enjoy every minute you have (I love you, Angela)
Remember your manners.. You were taught them for a reason. Please, thank you and excuse me can get you far in life.
