Single father of 2 boys. Divorced, good job, happy life. No matter how down life can be or seem, always know life is harder for someone else. Try and stay positive. Be happy with who you are and know you are enough. Life is what you make it. So make it yours. Make it fun because you will spread that to those around you. Stay RAD!!

We all tend to hear that life is short so we should make the most of it. What’s interesting is that you don’t really connect these words of wisdom with personal emotion or even translate them with action until something significant teaches us personally.
I’ve recently had a loved one become diagnosed with cancer and it’s my first time navigating some seriously heavy and aggressive emotions. In this process I’ve been able to truly reflect on “words of wisdom” from our elders.
There really is no bullshit to words of wisdom, so in my reflection I’d say, “stay positive”; “wake up each day & appreciate life”; “enjoy the ride” “Don’t have any regrets” and be “happy”.

Surround yourself with people who talk about visions and ideas, not people. I always tell myself, “Just keep your side of the street clean – the rest is out of your hands.”

Both negativity and positivity, in actions and/or words, are like a virus that live far beyond their reception. My advice is to simply know this and be as responsible as you possibly can when you interact with people.

Make a habit of writing down the good parts of your day, each day. At least two good things will come of this practice. Reviewing the list you’ll be able to see what you value. And because you’re recording the good you’ll start actively seeking out the positive – and because you’re looking for it you’ll find it.
