Sing often!

If I can give you just one piece of advice, a tip for the future, it would be to tell you about the long term effects of Singing. Scientists have proven the healing benefits of singing. The rest of my suggestions may have no basis more reliable than my own life experience, so I won't give any further advice.

Enjoy being young, if indeed you are. While young, and begining your Spiritual walk through life, you will have much more time to reach deeper places within. 20 years from now, when you look at old photographs, you will realize all that you could have accomplished. You'll be overwhelmed by all the things you could have done. You will see how fabulous you really looked at this age, and you will realize how wonderful your body is.

Don't worry about the future. But, of course you will. It doesn't work. Imagine if we had happen to us all we picture in our minds. Yipes! That could be worse than reality. The real problems in your life are apt to be the kind that never even entered your mind. They are the ones that creep up behind you in the middle of a long Wednesday afternoon.

Do one thing outrageous everyday.

Skip to work, or jump rope!

Don't be fickel with other people's feelings and don't put up with anyone who is fickle with yours.

Don't waste your time with jealousy, envy or revenge. Sometimes you'll win and sometimes you'll loose. The race and competition can be long and hard and in the end, you'll find that it's only with yourself.

Remember the compliments you received. Forget the put-downs. If you can succeed with this, please E-Mail me and tell me how.

Smile!

Keep all of you old love letters, find a YOU day and read them to yourself on that day, evey year. Throw away all of your old bank statements.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life. The most interesting people I know did not know what direction to go in after college. Some people I know don't have a life direction after 40+.

Take plenty of vitiman C and calcium. Take care of your body. You'll miss it when it begins to give out on you. Enjoy your body and use it in every way you can. Walk a lot and enjoy it. Don't be afraid of what other people think of it. It's the most wonderful instrument you'll ever play.

Stretch!

Look into the mirror nude every day and love your body as yourself.

Maybe you'll marry, and maybe you won't. Perhaps you'll have children and perhaps you won't. Maybe you'll divorce after 40 and maybe you'll dance to the Anniversary Waltz with your one love at age 75.

Whatever you do, don't be hard on yourself. Don't over congratulate yourself either. Your choices are your choices, using whatever knowledge you had available at the time, and so are everyone else's.

Dance!

Always read the directions, even if you never follow them. Then at least you'll "know".

Do not read the Victoria Secrets Catalogues. They make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents. You never know when they'll be gone for good. Then it will be too late. Oh, how you'll miss them! Be nice to your siblings and relatives. They are your best link to your past and will be the one's most likely to stick by you in the future.

Always understand that most friends will come and go. There are those precious few. Work hard to bridge the gaps with distance, communication and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need people who knew you when you were young.

Live in New York City once! Leave it before it makes you hard. Live in Northern California or Florida once, but leave it before it makes you sick of driving and driving and driving.

Accept certain truths! Prices will rise. Politics will philander. You, too, will grow old. When you do, you'll fanticize that when you were young prices were reasonable and politicans were noble, and children really did respect their elders.

Oh, by the way, respect your elders.

Don't ever expect anyone else to financially support you. Maybe you'll have a trust fund or maybe you'll have a wealthy spouse. But you never know. Either one may run out on you.

Don't mess too much with your hair or by the time you're 40 it will look like 85.

Meditate and thank God and the energies for your life on a regular basis. Be humble. Life seems to work out a lot better when you do.

Visualize the result and act as if it were true for you NOW! Soon it will be.

Stay in the moment with everything. Handle upsets as they occur, as best you can. Never go to bed angry. Talk it through and bring love into it.

Be careful with whose advice you buy, like Psychic Readings. Be patient with those who supply it. Advice is a form of nostalgia. Dispensing it is a way of fishing from the past, bringing it out of the disposal, glossing over the used parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

Let the past remain in the past. Look towards tomorrow. The sun rises every day and set every night. Blessed it be.

But, please trust me on the singing.
