Ten Things:

1. Never apologize for who you are.
Some people may like you, some may not, so be it.
If at the end of the your day you are happy with the way you conducted yourself,
that's all that matters.

2. Never talk behind peoples backs, there is no honor in that.
If you have something negative to say,
chances are you just should not say it.

If you must say it,
have the gumption to OWN your words & say them directly to said person.
If you can't find the courage to do that much, perhaps reread the beginning of #2.

3. Be happy with who you are & not who others perceive you to be.
Putting on airs to impress others is never impressive in the end.

4. If you are unhappy in your own life don't try to take others down with you,
because the truth is, if they are happy with themselves, nothing you attempt will be successful in bringing them down, period.

5. Don't validate yourself through the way others view you.
If everyone did that, nobody would be happy because I can assure you that everyone has someone who doesn't like them, yes... even you.
Try, perhaps, validation through self visualization,
after all, don't we know ourselves better than anyone else can possibly claim to?

6. Remember that the more you share of yourself with someone,
the more they learn about you as well,
so if you don't want people knowing intimate details of your life, keep them as such.

7. Judgemental people are usually that way because some aspect of their life isn't how they wanted it to be, sad but true.

8. Jealousy is never a part of true lasting friendships but more a sign of pettiness.
A true friend isn't jealous of what you have or how you live, but instead is happy for your happiness. If they're jealous & angry all the time, chances are it's more them & less you.

9. Don't be fake in an attempt to be accepted,
but rather have the courage to just be yourself knowing that you might not be accepted.
Being true to yourself 100% is what's important.
Sadly, not many share that sentiment.
It's unfortunate.

10. Never say things in anger,
usually you'll regret them later
&
the person to whom you've said them to
may not forgive or ever forget.
