I sent this to an online friend here at DS and wanted to share a bit of my philosophy on life:

Choose to make good decisions, don't make decisions out of spite or revenge. In order to be happy you have to make the RIGHT decisions no matter how others treat you. You need to be able to say to yourself, "hey self, at least I have tried, put out the peace pipe and will continue to do so".... What goes around comes around, the golden rule, all that stuff really holds true. Just always remember someone else has it worse then you do, so the least you can do is make good decisions. Smile even if you don't feel like it, brush things off when people treat you like dirt, and always always know that you're really trying (and you need to really try)... I would say start small. Start here, when you start to type bad things just stop. It's ok to vent, but the name calling and all that is just juvinile. You're an adult and you can use better words, and better everything. Stop the name calling, stop putting yourself down, stop putting others down, stop blaming everyone else, and stop negative thinking. START being polite, nice, caring, understanding, FORGIVING, and try to have a better outlook on life. I know it's hard, but you have to start somewhere!

I also don't worry about things that are out of my control, and the things that are in my control, I try to control. :)
