We choose what we do.  There are no excuses.  Each moment, our actions guide our futures.  Corrections are always necessary.  The perfect path is one that embraces adaptation.  People can change.  That's why forgiveness is necessary.  Do not be distraught by undesired outcomes or the realization that people are not what you thought.  Forgive and move forward.

People are temporary fixtures in your life.  No one makes it out of here alive, and many will depart from your path of their own volition.  That's okay.  Accept the impermanence of physical existence and the reality of changing tides.  You are the only person that will be with you at all times for your entire life.  Accept yourself.  Make the improvements your conscience declares, but accept who you are and maintain a positive trajectory.

The value of individuals is immeasureable.  Even a dim light is hope.  Foster the positive being within yourself and others.  Blow oxygen on that fire.  Be the bellow that ignites unquenchable flames.  Have a strong desire to ahcieve.  Believe.  Control your destiny with your will.

Everything that happens in your life is foreshadowing.  It's uncanny as you age how the things that you have done in the past return to the forefront of your evolving story.  Embrace the moment and learn every lesson life has to offer.  Adversity builds character.  The easy street builds dangerous complacency.  Don't be discouraged by the things that don't work out.  It was meant to be.  Accept them.

You're here for a reason.  Your life is meaningful.  Choose the righteous path.  Don't fall into temptation.  The narrow path, although sometimes fraught with difficulties, is ultimately the most powerful and meaningful.  Choose those you surround yourself with wisely.  You'll tend to step in the same piles of manure as those with which you walk.  You are the star.  I am grateful that you exist.
