I've heard people say this a lot. So I started thinking back to high school, and what I've learned in the 6 years (can't believe it's been 6 years) I've been "out in the world". Here are a few of the pearls of wisdom I've picked up:
1. Kindness is crucial. Above all, true kindness makes the biggest difference, and I've yet to meet a person who is unreachable with kindness.
2. No one's life is perfect; in one way or another, we're all messed up. It's ok.
3. Most people just act like they know what's going on; we're all just guessing.
4. Daydreaming gets you nowhere. I used to sit around and hope/wait for things to happen to me. For that cute boy to notice me, for a job opportunity to find me, etc. Then I realized I have to make those plans, try for those things, fail sometimes, and then...it happens.
5. The hardest, most important, and most often missed step to happiness, is determining what it is we want.
