Living The Best Possible Life Ever!!

Life is an adventure. Every individual has the opportunity to experience it. There are some paramount events that we are proud of, and on the other hand, there are moments we sometimes wish we could hit the reset bottom to start all over again. Yet, each person’s growth is shaped through the experience he/she encounters. From life’s standpoint, here are some advice that I will give to my children and the younger men and women as they start their life’s journey.

1. Have a strong and great relationship with God, so your present and future paths can be guided.
2. Always be thankful to your parents. Learn from them, and grow and branch out as a tree to reach higher potentials for your life.
3. Always pay attention to your good teachers in school because they will inspire and bring out the best in you.
4. Enjoy and read many books. As you are growing up, your vision and imaginations are limitless. I was inspired by my mother to read Gifted Hands by Dr. Ben. Carson and it positively changed my life forever!
5. Enjoy a physical exercise routine and insert it into your weekly schedule to reach your full mental capacity.
6. Set goals for your future and when you are certain of your path, pursue it vigorously early in your life. I volunteered at Erie County Medical Center Emergency Room when I was young as a way to understand what doctors do.
7. Read books about Personal Finance and learn to understand how money works early in your life, so you can learn to save and invest your money. Actively saving and investing your money on a regular basis are two very important skills you will need in order to enjoy a great retirement!!
8. Enjoy nature’s outdoors! You will be inspired by the wonders of the birds, mountains, oceans, blue azure skies, fresh air and will gain the positive strength to win your personal battles in life.
9. Endure and overcome. No matter what you are going through, live life!! A lot of things in life becomes clear to you when you live long enough to analyze your situations.
10. Seize on opportunities to improve your life.
11. Learn from your mistakes. Make a promise to yourself to never repeat your mistakes.
12. Always think for yourself. Never be part of a crowd. Have a good reason for all your decisions.
