Tips for Life! Advice to my Children.

So this is my advice to my children- my most precious in the whole world- the loves of my life- my heartbeat.

‘Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it’.

Life can be hard- be strong.

Be confident in everything you do and say and have faith in yourself.

Don’t waste time on people that make you unhappy.

If people are unkind, it is their problem, not yours.

‘Let your smile change the world but don’t let the world change your smile’.

Hearing is a skill. Everyone can listen but few can actually hear. Make sure you are one of those that hears.

Girls- always make sure you are up to date with your smear tests. No matter how busy life is or how much you may want to put it off, don’t! Your health is the most important thing.

In fact, if you are worried or unsure about anything health wise, always get it checked out straight away. There is much more chance of it being treated if it is found early.

Do a job that you enjoy. You will spend so much of your time doing it, it’s important to be happy.

Silence is sometimes more powerful than words.

Look after yourself. Eat good food, rest, smile and surround yourself with people that make you laugh.

Looks fade but personalities last a lifetime.

Make memories to tell your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews or friends.

Be kind.

Never walk alone in the dark- stay in a group or get a lift.

Never post anything on social media when you’re drunk! (you’ll probably regret it and also employers always check what you’ve been posting!).

Never drink drive- you could end up dead, injured or in prison.

Be who you want to be. Be original and never just follow the crowd for the sake of it. But most importantly be happy and be ‘you’ because ‘you’ are amazing and the best in the whole world. There’s only one of you. Be proud.

Smile even when you don’t feel like it because smiling helps you to feel happy and is good for the soul. It’s also contagious!

The same goes for music. Live music is amazing! Go to festivals and concerts- sing and dance- it’s good for the soul.

Love, laugh and let go of those that make you unhappy.

Believe in yourself.

Have fun!

Enjoy every single minute of your precious life.

Always know how special you are and how much you are loved xxx
