Find your passion and then follow it. God never wastes anything, especially not the desires he puts inside your heart.
Find out what you like to do, learn how to do it well, and then spend the rest of your life doing it.
Figure out what you won't do and then don't do it. Youll be happy you didn't. Stand up for what you believe is right, even if you have to stand alone.
Make a list of the things youd like to do before you retire. Put the list where you can find it every few years so you can see how you're doing. Thirty years from now the list will give you a good laugh.
Honor your parents. God promised a special blessing when you do, and they deserve it. Even if you don't think they do, they do, and even if they don't, you need to do it anyway.
Keep a journal. Over the years you will be able to trace God's fingerprints in your life.
Smile. Life is too short (see above) not to enjoy each day.
Always have some duct tape handy. And a 3x5 card. Trust me on this.
Memo to guys: Girls are mysterious. This will not change over the years.
Memo to girls: Guys don't have a clue. Never have, never will.

A good question: What would Jesus do?
Another good question: How would my parents handle this?
Another good question: How will I feel about this tomorrow?
Another good question: What if my family and friends could see me now?
