5 Things Everyone Needs to Know

1. You are who you are and you have what you have

We tend to want something we don't have and want to be someone we are not. We are our own biggest bully and life is hard in that manner. We need to learn that no matter how much we want to be someone else we can't and we should just focus and worry about ourselves.  We just need to accept who we are and learn to love ourselves. We also need to learn not to compare ourselves to other and just be happy with who we are because everyone is different and thats just the way life is.

2. Little moments count too

We often sit there and wait for the perfect moments or big moments in life while the little ones just pass right by us and we don't even realize it. We need to learn to live in the now and not wait around. Perfect moments will come and you don't have to wait for them.

3. Live in the moment not in your cell phone

Phones are taking over the world. We tend to rely on them too much and spend time on them too much. I personally do this. Our whole lives are based around phones and its like people are living in their phones instead of just living. When I am hanging out with my friends we are all always on our phones and don't actually socialize with each other. Everyone only cares about how many Instagram like they got or if their picture matches the theme. But honestly no one cares about that stuff, only you do. I feel like phones are just something to do to pass the time but they have become way more than that. There is also so much hate on the internet that we would be better off and happier if we just put our phones down and lived.

4. People over possessions

When you die what do you want to be known for? Do you want to be known for "the guy who owns the ferrari" or "the best friend"? The best friend. Don't be known for what you own, but who you are as a person. Don't base your whole life around making your possessions and making money because then you won't have time for the things that really matter. Don't devote your whole life to your possessions because at the end of the day no one really cares about what you own. They care about who you are.

5. Focus on the good learn from the bad

I have a friend in volleyball that whenever she does something bad she always focuses on that instead of what she did good. It brings her down and she starts playing worse. This is a perfect example of focusing on the bad. If you focus on the bad you won't be happy and you want to live life happily don't focus on the bad things in life just learn from them and move on. You are better off.
