We are in for something so much bigger than our brains can handle at times.
The world is big.
I want you to be the best possible version of yourself.
Brandon Woelfel
I want you to live with an open heart.
It makes you question yourself and everything around you.
Life makes you sometimes push through it and sometimes slowly pull from it.
It is a collection of a multiplicity of moments adding up all the time in each of our heads.
Amidst all of these moments, there is you, absorbing it in and constantly reacting.
I want you to believe in yourself and your capabilities.
I want you to see your own light when no one else can.
I want you to promise to find meaning in your life and commit to progress.
I want you to give back something to the world and not let your gifts go to waste.
I want you to never stop believing in the goodness of people, including your own.
Search for their qualities before their flaws, even when it seems so difficult.
Be the first to give, to show up, to be of help.
Be the first to remind others of their abilities.
Be peoples builder and do not tear others down.
Sometimes people will disappoint you, and sometimes you will disappoint others.
Sometimes you will not stand the people you love the most, but do not give up on them.
I want you to love with an open heart, even though it will hurt at times.
Love deeply and gently.
Love with all you have got, and shower those you love with care.
Love is a great healing power, and it moves mountains.
It is never lost or wasted.
It only teaches you lessons, even if they are hard sometimes.
I want you to fall in love with life.
The more you love and appreciate what you have, the more you will receive from life.
I want you to always stay honest with yourself and those around you.
Stand by what you believe in.
Stand by your dreams.
Do not compromise your identity.
Do not lose your voice in the midst of chaos.
Show up every day as yourself; speak your mind and let the world know the rivers in you.
Find people who inspire you and learn from them.
Be selective of those you choose to spend time with.
Have a hunger for knowledge.
Learn more about the world you live in.
There is endless substance others before you left for you to delve into and become more interested in life.
Do not be afraid to change opinions and ways of thinking.
Be okay with taking off an identity that no longer fits you.
Keep a curiosity for new experiences.
There is something magical and refreshing about first times.
They add so many more feelings and memories and depth to your being.
Be willing to be brave and not actively put labels on who you are.
Experiment and explore anything that excites you if you have the means to.
Practice patience, forgiveness, and actively purifying your heart of any destructive behavior.
You need these practices immensely for your own sanity and well-being.
Things take time; things get messed up.
Carrying baggage through your life never helps you fly.
Do not be afraid to mess up be wrong and admit it.
Learn from your mistakes and laugh at yourself every once in a while.
Life will feel so much lighter that way.
Be careful who you give chunks of your heart to and how they treat you in return.
Lastly, be present in the moment.
Enjoy sipping that tea.
Feel its warmth and taste on your tongue.
Give your undivided attention to your loved ones and listen to what they are really saying.
When you do something, give it your all, whether it is work, love, or resting.
Be mindful and aware of yourself.
Take breaks when you gotta just breathe and sit still.
