Life Recipe

There's no recipe is there mom?

Here are some things you told me a long time ago, which I've only recently really learned...

Be honest, Be honest. People know when you are lying, and it's just bad karma.
Only your perspective controls your situation.
You can't be something you're not- if they aren't going to like you, YOU might as well like you.
Only you can decide your value (your friends won't always be there to vouch for how awesome you are;).
You can't ask for something from someone that they can't give, you just have to accept them for who they are.
You can't replicate experience had by another, so don't try. This is your life.
Don't compare yourself to others there will always be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
You should probably know WHY you like the ideas which you like.
Insecurity is overrated, and everyone is insecure. Bridge the gap.
When you are asked a question, think about what you really think the answer is.
Do what it is that you want to do, and trust that others will do the same.
Take care with your words.
Don't try so hard, it's exhausting.
Be aware, think about a situation, try to predict a situation, but more than that... be willing to fly by the seat of your pants!
Don't over-analyze, it's about enjoying doing something good.
Sometimes, somethings, will have significance only for you.
You do little things everyday for those things which you love and believe in.
