Life is crazy. Remember to...

Be Grateful.
"Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation."

Gratitude is under-rated and underutilized.  We tend to get so wrapped up in what we want and what we want to achieve that we loose sight of what we have right in front of us or what we have achieved already.  Appreciation plays a huge part in our happiness as human beings.  Take time to appreciate the things you have and have already accomplished.

Smile.
Just one smile could change a day.  You never know what others are going through.  The power of a smile can make a huge impact on the person on the receiving end.

 Be a Friend.
Help people out, it's the simple act of pay-it-forward that can make this world a better place.  You can never have too many friends.

Stop Talking & Listen.
"We are given two ears but only one mouth, because listening is twice as hard as talking."

Listen to people when they are talking, really hear what they are saying to you.  Be a listener. It's something that's hard to come by these days.


Do things alone.
It makes you more self aware, which can stimulate your parasympathic nervous system.  Result, helps you RELAX.  Enjoy your own company.
