I plea to you – PLEASE make peace with your maker or your God as you see It to be. PLEASE do your best to love your family members and the others that are close to you, as much as possible. PLEASE trust those important to you and build trust with them. Follow the Golden Rule – truly “doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.” PLEASE take care of your physical and mental health. Work hard when you can and you are able to. PLEASE never stop dreaming lofty dreams, welcoming visions as they come. Never stop learning; be it through formal education or even reading something that strikes you as interesting. But PLEASE don’t just gather knowledge, apply it to your life – using it in your thoughts and actions. Express yourself: be it thru the arts; letting your voice be heard on issues. And appreciate the present moment, not forgetting to plan for your future. Use your time wisely, but don’t be too hard on yourself.
But PLEASE most of all, stay true to yourself – stay golden. When you do fall, forgive yourself and get right back up…
