"Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition - in having put forth the best within you."- Henry J Kaise

I took this idea from Thought Catalog, per us, but I love this idea.
So, here are my 13 most important things that I have learned in my life this far.

1. Pray often, pray continuously, pray hard.

2. Don't apologize for being who you are.

3. Work the hardest. There will always be someone smarter than you, but always be the one who works the hardest.

4. Say you're sorry.

5. Follow your heart. This is tough because there are so many outside forces that affect our daily decisions, but if you listen to your heart and your instincts, you will never go wrong.

6. Fall in love, hard.

7. Always be kind.

8. Be the best friend you can be, always.

9. Be the one who's always overdressed. Never be the one who's underdressed.

10. Love what you do. Be that, school, your job, your relationship. Love what you do, it will make the hard days so much easier.

11. Call your mom and dad, often.

12. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

13. Don't bash what you hate, promote what you love.  (I stole this from Thought Catalog, but I think it is absolutely imperative).
