RESPECT
Respect is an attitude that develops through mature and mutually enriching interpersonal relationships. Moreover, respect is the attitude of accepting others’ differences; you need respect in order to coexist with others without conflict.
To respect someone is to put aside our differences. It helps us avoid judging others for their individual choices and opinions.
​
To respect someone is to be aware of a person’s individuality, and not to demand that they change their opinions or behaviors.
Respectful people realize that everyone has the right to choose to be who they really are. And if everyone is free to be who they want to be, no one else has the right or responsibility pass judgment or decide anything about another.

"MAKING YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE"
Beyond work and love, I would add two other ingredients that give meaning to life.
​
First, fulfill whatever talents we are born with. However blessed we are by fate with different abilities and strengths, we should try to develop them to the fullest, rather than allow them to atrophy and decay. We all know individuals who did not fulfill the dreams they had growing up. Many of them became haunted by the image of what they might have become. Instead of blaming fate, I think we should accept ourselves as we are & try to fulfill the dreams within our capability.
Second, we should try to leave the world a better place than when we entered it.
As individuals, we can make a difference, whether it is to probe the secrets of nature, to clean up the environment and work for peace and social justice, or to nurture those inquisitive people by being a mentor & proving it can be done.​
​​
Grudges are a waste of perfect HAPPINESS.
Laugh when you can. Apologize often.
HATERED is a show of true weakness.
Showing love is a sign of POWER.
"STAY THE NIGHT"
Don't let the behavior of others ruin your life.
​
Surround yourself with people who make you
hungry for love, touch your heart and nourish your soul.
​
Support each other during good times & bad.
Don't walk away when things get too crazy.
Stay and help make it get better.
​
It's not what you have in life, it's who you have in your life that makes it the most joyful.
​
Combine with those special people in your life & become GIVERS. . . . .
givers of LOVE, givers of GOOD VIBES & givers of STRENGTH.
"THE LOOKS THAT KILL"
It's amazing how much time and effort people will go to trying to tell you what you need & what will make you happy. Nobody knows that but YOU!
​
Sometimes not even you know what it is. We all have that certain image made up in our heads before we go out in life. Most of the time even that image is wrong.
​
Find those things that make your life happy, less stressful.
They won't always be like you imagined. Things happen that just sweep you right off your feet and take your breath away.
They'll let you be the person you were meant to be. Listen to your heart.
Be that person you want to be.
"WITH ARMS WIDE OPEN"
This is your life. Do what you want and do it often.
If you don't like something, change it.
If you don't have enough time, make time.
If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; it will be waiting for you when you start doing things that you love.
Stop over-analyzing, life is simple.
All emotions are beautiful.
Open your heart, mind and arms to new things and people. We are united by our differences.
Show respect to others as you would want it shown to you.
Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating.
Life is short, live your dream & wear your passion.
"FOREVER YOURS FAITHFULLY"
I wanna make you smile when you’re sad
Carry you when your arthritis is bad
​
Get you medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire when the furnace breaks
​
Give you my coat when your cold
​
Let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
​
Put you to bed when you've had too much
Be the man who grows old with you
​
I wanna be with you forever
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
