If things are not what they used to be, then make them exactly what you want them to. Live with no regrets and experience life in its natural way. Take the good and make it better. Forget the past for it is only a memory. After all the only moment that is relevant is the here and now for it is the one being tasted and experienced.
Go through life making friends and being comfortable in your own environment soon you will see how rewarding it is to concentrate on people's virtues rather than their flaws. Become aware of your own flaws so that you can eliminate them and perfect the virtues you have. Show people the positive side of you and take away the negative to yourself.
Be true and honest to all those around you, rid yourself of negative thoughts so your mind is pure and clear to conjure new ideas and be heading toward success.
Give it all without expectations, life will be so much more fulfilling that way. If deceived, learn from the experience not to be so naive. Set challenging goals and work them towards completion. Rejoice in the satisfaction of accomplishment and pass on the lessons learned.
Be mindful of promises made to not disappoint the ones you love. Talk the walk as long as you can walk the talk. Be forgiving of the broken promises that were made to you. Judge only your actions and yourself even though judgment will always be imposed on you.
Remember to give thanks for the goodness in your life and ignore misfortune that soon will pass. Stick to your good principles and never compromise your integrity because at the end no reward is worth the shame.
Head high and steady, forward looking, face the world, and remember to just be yourself!
