Advice from a Grandmother                                                                                                                              

My grandmother once gave me a tip:

In difficult times, you move forward in small steps.

Do what you have to do, but little by little.

Don't think about the future, or what may happen tomorrow.

Wash the dishes.

Remove the dust.

Write a letter.

Make a soup.

You see?

You are advancing step by step.

Take a step and stop.

Rest a little.

Praise yourself.

Take another step.

Then another.

You won't notice, but your steps will grow more and more.

And the time will come when you can think about the future without crying.

THOUGHTS ON LIFE AND LIVING IT

Think Big! Take Risks! Love Life!

Dream. Dare to dream large. Never quit, go after what you want with a totally committed attitude. Remember life is so short that you must enjoy each and every moment.

Look at your fears, laugh, then move forward. Accept responsibility for your actions and the type of person you want to be. Learn to love learning. Grow constantly. Embrace change willingly.

Never say never. Think like a winner. Learn to love yourself, forgive yourself and be happy being who you are.

Surround yourself with positive messages and people. Be in charge of your life only, let others be who they are. Be kind, think right about the other person, always expecting the best from them. Learn to be effective, not always right.

Include God in your life. Thank him for all he has given you, your family and friends.

Be the type of friend you would like to have. Make a difference to just one person, each and every day of your life, whether it be by a smile, a gentle touch, a kind word or a helping hand.

Learn to be flexible, few things are black and white and written in stone. And above all, remember that people are much more important than things.
