Often, people, as well as myself tend to fret on the negatives that encompass our lives. What I have to say now is something a little more positive, because I think this is equally as important. Here now is what I feel is most needed in order to prosper. It's imporatant to know where you're going. If you have a plan, you'll be able to work towards something, Some may disagree with me, but you have to have an idea of what you want. This will give you direction. Work at what you want as hard as you can, but take the time to enjoy the journey. Your life is a celebration, sometimes you gotta act like it. Be a good person. Those people are the coolest ever. It's true, no matter what you do, if you never change who you are (assuming you're a good person, if you suck, you probably should change) you'll be the better for it. Most importantly, it is essential that you surround yourself with good people, because if you do that, you can accomplish anything. The one thing I've always been proud of myself for doing, is that I've always been good at surrounding myself with good people. And I've always been on the lookout for more. When I've thought that I've found good people, I try to make sure they're a part of my life. When you have that, you feel like to can accomplish anything. That's the only way I've gotten this far.
