I believe

Things I choose to believe:

Kindness is built through a lifetime, so when a person is kind to you it is like them giving you a gift.

Everyone is special and has goodness in them.

Everyone needs to be told they’re loved.

Everyone needs to look for their own goodness and especially other’s goodness.

It is better to give to someone that needs nothing, than not give when someone needs it most.

A person’s true feelings are the easiest thing in the world to see, if you’re looking.

Everyone wants friends, acceptance, and a place where they can be themselves.

Friendliness is a skill that you can improve with practice.

Every idea has some merit.

Never give up. Persistence is a most honorable virtue.

Try everything once.

Listening is the fastest way to heal someone.

Nothing is impossible.

Be grateful for what you have or you don’t deserve it.

Thank you is something that needs to be said. Often and for the little things too.

Everyone wants to be loved in ways that they can’t love themselves.

You can’t learn everything at the same time. Learning is a process of growing.

People pleasers are merely people that love others more than themselves.

It is our imperfections that make us different and beautiful. Wabi-sabi.

Anyone can find love. You have to want it and then recognize it when it stands before you.

Innocence can be maintained.

Math is a necessary evil.

A smile can make anyone beautiful.

More to follow...

So my advice for a good life is merely this: Love yourself, find people that make you happy and let yourself love them, practice kindness, and always always carry a calculator.
