Life - Either make it happy or make it miserable. It's all in your attitude. Glass 1/2 FULL here, my whole life.
People make things worse for themselves a lot of the time.
Don't keep up with the Jones - Keep up with yourself. If you want, you need to work and make things happen. Do Unto Others & Have Some Respect.
Don't spend money you don't have - Don't buy things you can't afford.
Learn from your mistakes, don't get all pissy about it. Be a giver not a taker. Good things come to good people. Karma is a b**ch!
I credit genes & great parents who had morals and taught me the correct way (as good as they could)
Make the best of where you live, if you don't like it, MOVE?

^^^^^ I agree, except that I credit my grandparents, rather than my parents. They passed away years ago, but I 'feel them inside' and feel as if they are walking alongside me with every step. I feel as though I am one of the most fortunate people on the planet to have this feeling. I see my incomparable grandmother in my wonderful cousin and my wonderful aunt, and I know they feel the same connection to my grandparents. Having had largely clueless parents (re how the world works) somehow granted me the ability to appreciate the wonderful attitude/perspective my grandparents had toward life. I always hoped that there would be a 4th generation to receive the essence of my grandmother, and my little cousin (she's 12 now) is the fruition of that hope.
