a couple things i've learned thus far in my lifetime... my own personal life codes

-don't believe anything you hear and only half of what you see. unless your mom is telling you something... then believe it all

-without struggle, there is no progress.-frederick douglass

-unconditional love from a dog is the best love and completely genuine.

-not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.***

-karma exists. believe me. then again, you don't have to believe me because i'm not your mom.

-using someone and being used is a good thing, just don't "mis" "over" or "ab" use. if you can't be used, then you're useless.

-only surround yourself with people that bring out the best in you

-people who claim they're honest, humble, and good usually aren't. proceed with caution. if they have to claim it, theyre usually hiding their true self. just be it and actually live by it.

-regardless of your position in life, no one but you is qualified to determine your happiness.

-nothing is consistent but change.

-believe in your flyness and conquer your shyness

-if you focus on what you don't have, then you won't have it.

-it's better to be hated for who you are then loved for who you're not

-people come in and out of your life all the time but real friends stay no matter what. cherish your loved ones

-to live with regrets is not a way of living... it's a way of dying. if you can do right by your wrong, do it. peace of mind is priceless.

-if there is anything or anyone you want, go after it no matter what but without breaking the law. please refer to the code above

-time is precious. time is limited.

-life is beautiful

-Man has three ways to act wisely:

First, by reflection, which is the noblest;

Second, by imitation, which is the easiest;

Thirdly, through experience, that's the most bitter.

- Confucius.
