Things To Remember(:

take time out of your day to find out
something new about everyone you live with.
ask them what their favorite thing to do as a kid was.
ask them what time they were born. ask them
who their hero is. strike up a conversation to learn
things you never knew. questions you will not
be able to ask if they were to leave your life.
life is short. learn all you can while you have time.

"With smiles and laughter, your days
will become lighter, more joyous and more bearable
even on those hay-wired days. Your smiling face
looks much more appealing and beautiful too."

tomorrow... tell atleast 3 people something
good about them. be it their looks, something they're good at,
or something that they do that makes you happy.
even if you just tell them you love them.
it will not only make them feel great, but you will
feel wonderful after! remember, it is not all about you...
it is about the people around us as well.

"To succeed, it is necessary to accept
the world as it is - and rise above it."

no matter how much we wish it would, the world
will never change for us. the things making it hard to move forward
will always be there. the struggles. the let downs. people will
not like you. your opinions will be bashed. people will attempt
to squash your dreams. in this life, you must stand up tall and show
the world what you are made of. live it for you. live it for God.
for those not religious don't get offended, it's just my beliefs)
stay strong always and let them watch you soar.

this is for students. tomorrow at school try to
make one new friend. maybe someone in a class of yours
who doesn't have many friends. i went to 10 schools in my life
and i know all about being lonely. it's hard to make friends
when you move around a lot. but there are also people who
just don't have many friends in general. ask someone who's
alone to sit with you and your friends at lunch. i don't know,
just reach out to someone at school. let your inner sun shine!

"The greatest ignorance is to reject
something you know nothing about."

there are so many things in life that can help us
and make us better. so much knowledge to gain.
so many things to experience. but to deny something
that you know nothing about could cause you to
miss out on learning something new. learn new things.
listen to what people tell you. if they're wrong, they're wrong.
but you can gain so much knowledge just by asking
or finding out about things you're curious about.

if the only thing you do is tell someone that
you appreciate them. it will make them so happy.
especially your parents or whoever takes care of you.
sometimes we take for granted the hardships
our parents go through to raise us. don't take
for granted the small talks they have with you
or the things they do to protect you. one day you
will grow up, move out, and not have them there
as often to protect you and to teach you things about life.
appreciate your parents.

surround yourself with positive people.
friends who support your dreams. friends who don't
try to change who you are. friends who don't get you down.
if it takes removing people from your life who make you
feel crappy... so be it. it is your life. and the choices you
make are your own. if you fill your life with people
who make you feel wonderful, your days will be tons better.
i mean, who wants to be around bad friends?

"Success seems to be largely a matter
of hanging on after others have let go."

no matter how outrageous or impossible your dreams
and hopes seem to people, stay true to what you want in life.
if you give up when they have given up on you,
what have you gained? nothing.

"All that is gold does not glitter"

look further into people and yourself than just material
possessions. the most beautiful person on the outside
can be the ugliest on the inside. do all you can to show
a beautiful person in yourself inside and out. wearing
the hottest fashions, best makeup, and finest jewelry
will not make you, but it could very well break you.

"Learn to open your heart and give
without expecting anything in return."

it is the times when you want the least
you gain the most. give to those you love.
be it give yourself emotionally, mentally, or by
giving gifts. give your time. give your energy.
wanting the world handed to you will not
get you very far in the long run.

talk to 5 strangers tomorrow. imagine if you
talked to 5 strangers everyday for a week. that's 35
people you will have met in a week. it's amazing how
we live in a huge world filled with extreme amounts of people
yet we place ourselves in bubbles. we talk to the same people
everyday and we go about our business on our own.
so yea, try it out.


"People seldom become famous for what they say
until after they are famous for what they've done."

nothing you say really matters much until you put
what you want to do into action. show people proof
that you are who you say you are. want things. get them.
set goals. work towards them. be a man (or woman) or your word.

"Real integrity is doing the right thing,
knowing that nobody's going to knownwhether you did it or not."

have integrity no matter who is around. there's always
those times where we do things just because people
won't know it determines the person you will be when
people are actually around. let your light shine alone or in a crowd.

"When one door closes another door opens;
but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the
closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us."

it's way too easy to give up when a door closes.
always know that there are many opportunities for
the things you want up ahead in life. whenever it feels
like it's not worth trying for things anymore, please
do not forget that life is a journey. make it the best.

God has given you one face,
and you make yourself another.
~William Shakespeare

best advice i can think of right now is to be yourself.
there are so many people telling you who you should be
and what you should believe in that it's easy to get
caught up in all of it. remember who you are. from physical
looks to your mentality on things. show people who you are.
be a leader. make people want to be like YOU.
be an example of what it is to remember who you are.

someone asked

What do you do when the person that makes
you smile more than anyone ever has doesn't want you anymore?

this question applies to many girls so i figure i'd
make it an uplifting bulletin.
i think, especially at younger ages, you should open
yourself up to experiences. if that one person can make you smile,
imagine how much more the man you will spend the rest of
your life will make you smile. never settle for anything less
than the best. if you aren't good enough for them...
they aren't good enough for you. you want someone who
will give the world and more just to see you happy.
be patient. you will find someone 323895 times more amazing!
just you wait.


“Don't go for the looks, it can be quite deceiving.
Don't go for wealth, even that fades away --
go for someone who makes you smile because
only a smile makes a dark day seem bright.
Hope you find that person.”

self explanatory right? i know many of you
spend time figuring out who is right for you.
it's so easy to be in search of someone who fits
the perfect criteria. looks, wealth, popularity, and so on.
but please make sure the person you do find makes
you smile more than anyone ever has. the smile on
your face are something money should never buy.

do not fear regret. be bold. be spontaneous.
do something out of the ordinary. something out of
your element. it's always good to try new and fun things.
(don't forget your morals though)
just try to keep your life interesting.
there are things you think you'll regret, but they
may change your life for the better. have fun

do something for someone else this week.
if you see someone struggling to do something, lend
a helping hand. even if it's something simple.
it's always nice to know there is someone there to help out.
so if you see someone in need, remember this uplifting
bulletin and do something kind for someone.

You miss 100 percent of the shots you never take.
--Wayne Gretzky

true right? if you never go for what you want
you will never get it. take a shot at something you want.
don't let the things you want pass you by.
you just may waste a moment of your life
that could have been something better.
“Just remember, when you should grab something, grab it;
when you should let go, let go.”

so many things we bring into our lives seem perfect
at the time we do so. but as time goes on you will learn
what is right for you and what isn't. be it objects, friends,
goals, lovers. don't keep people in your life that hold you
back from being all that you are meant to be in life.
never let anyone or anything slow you down.
be confident and know what you want and need around.
as you know, you have one life. think wisely.

you have one today. don't waste it.
dreading tomorrow or regretting yesterday.
live it striving to be the best you that you can be.
the world will always try to get you down.
rise above the world. be strong.
you're a wonderful person!

"Learn how to be happy with what
you have while you pursue all that you want."
-- JIM ROHN
enjoy the things you have in your life.
as you work towards your goals you will gain so much
more in life. be patient and be humble.
always remember how blessed you are so that the
blessings keep coming in.

Begin doing what you want to do now.
We have only this moment, sparkling
like a star in our hand -- and melting like a snowflake.
-- Marie Beyon Ray

you have dreams. you have goals.
you have things you want.
go for them! stop procrastinating
and thinking what you want will come to you
without pushing for it. focus on one thing at a time.
don't wait for tomorrow. tomorrow may be too late.


Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.
It might be the only sunshine he sees all day.

show someone your smile.
it could quite possibly be the only smile
they see all day. also... this makes me think
of telling people close to you that you love them.
life is bittersweet and there is no telling when the people
who are dearest to you will exit your life.
throw a smile. give a hug. tell them you love them.


“Relentless, repetitive self talk is what changes our self-image.”

for the rest of your life you will only have one body
of skin. one face. one YOU.
the media tells us what we should look like.
what body type we should have. what clothes to wear.
how to do our hair. what overall style we should have.
be true to yourself.
don't let a big media monster tell you

who you should be. you are beautiful in a tshirt and jeans.
you are beautiful if you weigh more than the average girl.
you are beautiful if you are taller than boys at school.
you are beautiful with a face clean from makeup
continuously remember and tell yourself that
you are beautiful no matter what anyone says
sunshine loves you!

In three words I can sum up everything
I've learned about life: It goes on.
-- Robert Frost

leave yesterday where it belongs. behind you.
tomorrow is a new day. and it will be what you make it.
enjoy it. find the beauty in everything tomorrow.
people who did you wrong yesterday, look at them
and remember that they have a heart beating inside
of them just like you. love them.
enjoy life now and enjoy it as it goes on.

Fall seven times, stand up eight.
you are worth not giving up on
as the world takes shots at you
or you fail to succeed be strong
and keep standing.

write down 3 things you love about yourself on paper
stick that paper on a mirror in your room or bathroom or
on the wall by your bed. somewhere you go often.
it can't hurt to remind yourself constantly
why you are loved by yourself ♥


"Being considerate of others will take
you further in life than a college degree."
think about what you say to people before you
say it. you never know what kind of day the person
next to you is having. so no matter how hard your
buttons are pushed, try to show the world your heart.
the person with a crappy attitude may just need
someone to show them a little sunshine!

so many times we walk slow, sluggish,
and with our eyes facing the ground
tomorrow try to
walk with your shoulders back
lift your chin up to the sky
and throw a huge smile on your face
not only will it make you feel better even when alone
but it will definitely intimidate people
everyday is a new day.
show the world who you are!


"To wish you were someone else is to waste the person you are."

try not to envy others. it's so easy to wish to have someone
else's life, looks, or possessions. but try to do the harder
thing and look at everything you have and love your life.
you are blessed.
even at times when you don't think you are. you have so much
more than you know. find the beauty in yourself
and make the best of the person you are.

"Everybody likes a compliment"
-- ABRAHAM LINCOLN
tell one friend or family member something
you like about them.
it's great to receive
compliments but how about giving some.
imagine a world where more of us were
complimenting the ones around us rather
than waiting for people to tell us what they
like about us. go for it.
make someone else smile

"Other people's opinion of you does not have to become your reality."
-les brown
it is very easy for someone to put you down
or to tell you that you aren't good enough.
but it isn't as easy to hear their opinions.
try your best to rise above the people who want
to get you down and show them that you can be
so much more than what they think of you.


I am only one; but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
I will not refuse to do something I can do.
i know sometimes it feels like the world
wants you to do more than you can handle.
it is okay. you are one person.
try not to take on loads that you cannot handle.
but be sure to do what you can do. make yourself proud.
you should be number one.


it's very easy to feel alone in this giant world.
although we are surround by many people, there
are still times when it seems that no one is around.
there is someone who would love if you'd talk to them right now.
if you are feeling lonely, i dare you to
take a chance and talk to someone who you don't talk much with.
it could put a smile on a lonely face.
maybe they are feeling lonely too.

"What would you attempt to do if you knew you would not fail?"
i never really think about this but it seems so true.
the things that we fear we will not achieve, we usually don't attempt.
is there something you want but don't think you can get?
i say we try to go for atleast one thing we think is impossible this year.
who knows? maybe you can achieve the unthinkable!
have a sunny night everyone!

try to leave garbage in 2008.
forgive people who have wronged you.
the world would be a lot better if we spent
more time reconciling and forgetting our differences.
try to bring a broken friendship back this year.
i'm sure someone misses you ♥

"The best way to predict the future is to create it!"
true right? you can't get anything without
going for it. want something? want it bad?
want to predict your tomorrow? make it.
work on it. take it. have it.
i love you all.

if you're unhappy. just smile. smile through it.
it can make a world of difference in your day.
when all has gotten you down and you cannot find your joy
put a big smile on your face! life is short.
don't waste it being down.

"Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile,
but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy."


"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do.
But to hold it together when everyone else would understand
if you fell apart, that's true strength."

there are times in life where we almost give up
on things because they just seem too much to put
on our shoulders. if there is something your life
that is putting a strain on you mentally or physically
and everyone around would be okay with you giving up,
please be strong and continue to fight for it.

you are the only you
you are special
no matter how down you get on yourself
remember how unique and amazing you are
i mean... think about it
you are the only person on this planet vwith your set of fingerprints
not sure who else thinks that's amazing...
but i think it's incredible!

find one thing you don't like about how you look
and look for the beauty in it.
we were all created as
beautiful humans.
the more you seek out the good
in the things that seem bad...the better they become.
just remember. if no one has told you today...
i want you to know that you're beautiful :)

"If you don't like something change it;
if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it."
-- MARY ENGELBREIT

there are many things in life that we don't like
and can be changed but we don't take the time to change them.
there are also things we cannot change.
but if you don't try to... you'll never know :)
what do you want to change and how can
you work on changing it?


"Go out into the world today and love the
people you meet.
Let your presence light
new light in the hearts of people."
-- MOTHER TERESA

it's so easy to be cruel to people.
even people you have never met.
but tomorrow,
when you go about your lives. try to love everyone.
even the people who you can't stand.
it will make someone happy.
so go... make someone happy!

"Go back a little to leap further."
-John Clarke

remember that it is okay to fall sometimes.
it is okay to make mistakes.
there will be times
in life when you have to fall down really hard to
guide you into going further than you ever
imagined you could. so yea.
be strong when life gets you down.
you can succeed at anything.
I believe in you(:

"It is not how much you do, but how much love you put in the doing.
"if you ever think what you are doing in life isn't enough.
just remember that what matters is how much heart you put into it.
so, doing less can be more :)
this relates a lot to this season also.
don't worry about what you get people.
whether it's not expensive enough or not exactly what they want.
also. don't think that getting someone something
extravagant will determine how big your heart is.
just do all you can this season and in life to let your
light shine no matter how much you do. small or great.
