Is easy when you surround yourself with good people and family. There is no reason to be mean to a person. Respect is give and take, so give as much respect as you can. If at first you are not given respect do not go into defense mode. Be an all around good person. Just the little things, like waiting to throw your trash away instead of throwing it on the ground. Hold the door open for folks. Smile at a stranger. Smiles are contagious.(gay,i know) Please and Thank you works too. Be generous if you can, a soda here, meal there wont hurt you. Try not to waste anything. If walking and you see a piece of trash pick it up if a trash can is near. Cheer your friends up when they are down. Act interested when hearing a story you don't care about because the person telling it is obviously passionate, or excited to tell you. Stop every now and then and consider yourself lucky. About everything. Make people laugh. Don't force things on people when they are clearly uncomfortable. (Please add if Im missing anything). Just do good things while you can because the way things are going, we will all be fucked. I am very grateful for everything and everyone in my life, the old the new. No regrets yet. Sure I make an ass out of myself or take it too far, but i can look back and say member that time?.. without shame. Sure I am hesitant to elaborate but eventually say wtf.. and gladly continue. Oh yeah be understanding about other peoples beliefs, or where they stand on things. Let them talk, and if they say something offensive let them know you are not comfortable about talking about it, or if your in debate mode, don't get angry, stay calm and say your stuff with enthusiasm, so it will all come together instead of being mad and saying whatever pops up.
Agree with me or not, its all good. Just thought I would let you in on my philosophy on life.
So whats next??
