40 is quickly approaching, like in 2 weeks!
Part of me feels like I subconsciously hurried to this day, by verbally dreading it.
but here goes, it's been an ongoing learning process, looking back, I enjoyed the lessons of 4 decades, and feel fortunate to have understood some things that others may not get around to so soon in their lifetimes.
* Don't loose sleep over what other people think of you, It really is out of your control anyway.
* Be who you want to be, not what others expect you to be.
* Don't be a Sheep, be a Herder.
* Always be honest to your self and others, lies are like boomerangs, they will always come back to you.
* Don't use life's shortcomings and tragedies as a crutch to be an asshole or unmotivated or better yet an excuse why you "cant".
* Don't be ashamed to like or love yourself. After all, it's what we all seek in life, So once you arrive there, don't be bashful.
* Remember that FEAR is only the lack of knowledge and the unknown and unforeseen.
* Don't be afraid to give yourself credit once and a while.
* Remember to pamper and put your self first on occasion.
* Relationships are a gamble, so if your not willing to take a chance, you got no business being in the game.
* Never trust someone who lacks compassion or is cruel to animals.
* You never know if you might be good at something until you try it.
* Get your Back burner ideas to the Front burner, make them happen.
* Be a person of action not words.
* You can't help someone who doesn't want to help themselves.
* Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
* just because you are related to someone, doesn't mean you have to like them or they are healthy for you.
* Lastly, KARMA, It exists.

SHIT!! I missed your birthday. Massive apologies and Happy Birthday. Everything you wrote could not be more true. Strange how the simplest lessons are always the most timeless and worth every moment.
