“There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life.” — John Lennon

Make your happiness and well-being a top priority. When you value who you are, you will learn to better value others. Stop putting your needs on the back burner. Embrace life. Every day can be a good day as long as you choose to make it one. Find people who are passionate about life and what they love. Spend time with them. People who are passionate about life can do some truly amazing things. Life is a whole lot different when you choose to spend it with people who are excited about the future.

Go out and do something. Take risks and realize that no matter how big or small the effort you make, every single thing you do matters. Everything we have done and everything we have gone through has led us to the people we are and the places we’re at today. We wouldn’t be who and where we were had we not pushed on through all of those hardships and basked in all of the glory of the good times we’ve experienced. Quite often, we will find that the bad times teach us more and help us grow even more than the good times. Everything has a purpose- it is up to us to find it.

Be fearless and open-hearted. Have a vision. Make things happen. Learn to love yourself and most importantly- embrace life.
