Ten Lessons in the Key of Life
2. Friend count does not matter as much as the quality of your relationships. Dozens of people can be around in the happiest of moments but it is in the darkest hour your true friends remain.
3. Don't let outward things define who you are. Try introducing yourself by saying hello, by name and by what you enjoy. You will be surprised at how relax you become when your life is not centered on you broadcasting superficial things.
4. Love is a musician playing melodies in different stages of your life. During your heartbreaks it is a balladeer in a blues inspired story. When you are happy it is up-tempo and makes you want to dance. When your life and your relationships are at standstill it is in a sentimental or melancholy mood.
5. People are really in "your life for a reason, season or lifetime." The people you meet can also come into your life to teach you lessons about yourself that you still haven't learned or refuse to acknowledge.
6. Discovering your passion is an essential part of self discovery that may not happen overnight but embrace the journey anyway. Be prepared to become involved in a lot of things you don't enjoy to find out what your heart is really into.
7. Your support system is the foundation of your success providing wisdom, guidance and understanding as you reach for the stars. The support system sometimes comes from unlikely people in the most unlikely places.
8. Don't judge people simply by familiar experiences you have had with someone else. This is a very hard thing not to do especially when something appears just like what someone else would say or do. This is not to say to accept disrespect but don't place someone inside an unfair box without getting to know them.
9. You must learn how to forgive even if you never forget what has happened to you. You don't want to grow older and bitter because of something someone has done to you in the past. You can't change the person or erase the situation but you always have control of your reaction to the circumstance.
10. Live your life and understand that you have absolutely no control over when or where things will happen for you. Be patient and let God direct your steps.
