My year in review. What I learned in 2008

1. Put you first! Never allow someone else to be your priority while allowing yourself to be their option!
2. Only keep the necessities! Remember the only people you need in your life are the ones that prove you need to be theirs!
3. Do Not down play yourself! You are a work in progress, keep striving each day to be a better you. Be sure of your ability to do what is necessary to improve your life.
4. Speak now or forever hold your peace! "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter."
5. Take charge! Either choose to stay in the passenger seat and allow someone else to guide your life or get behind the wheel and follow your own path, but whatever you do, do not be a backseat driver.
6. Count your blessings! Remember there is no such thing as a "series of unfortunate events, our blessings always come in between our misfortunes-this is how we survive and can hope for a better tomorrow."
7. Activate your life! Set in motion those things in which you plan to accomplish. Dream big; accomplish one great thing one day at a time.
8. Live Life Abundantly! Change your thinking to change your life. Inspire, encourage, and uplift yourself. Share your knowledge with as many people who will listen.
9. Live in the Moment! What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked together to bring you to this very moment and you should "be happy for this moment, because this moment is your life."
10. Just do you! "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind
