Write. Write a novel—not a series, not even a big one, just one story you
want to share. Invest everything you have, everything you are, and create a
masterpiece you would be proud of. And in between, find time to have some
chocolates.
Dream. Dream big, and never stop dreaming. Open a book café, a place
where you’d love to go to have a cup of Joe, and talk about books with people
who are there for the same reason.
Find. Find yourself again and again. Don’t look at others to serve you happiness
on a plate, seek your own. Smile big and smile with all your heart. Find
reasons to be happy, even when the situation is dire.
Travel. Explore the world, but start with your own country. See what the
hype is about. Learn about different cultures and lifestyles but don’t judge.
Do. Do as your heart desires. Do as your mind demands. Be good, but
not a saint. Be nice, but not to everyone. Think about yourself, but don’t hurt
others. Be just, be fair, be honest, be assertive.
Think. Think before you speak. Don’t think too much and let yourself go.
Make mistakes, learn from them, and forgive yourself.
Believe. Believe in yourself. Believe in people, but not too much. Don’t give
your trust for free. Believe in something bigger than all of us. Find a cause
and do something, however little, to support it. Don’t lose hope.
Respect. Respect yourself. Respect those who are worthy of it.
Celebrate. Celebrate live. All the crappy moments shall pass. All the happy
moments will remind you that there is no better time to be alive.
