Life's too short to spend so much time being petty over things that, in the grand scheme of things, matter not one whit.

Put yourself in the next man's shoes before you cast judgements, aspersions, or act.

Treat others with respect, even if you don't like or agree with what they do.

Live with the world, not separated from it.

Don't hold back - your feelings, your honesty, your joy, your sorrow.

Games are unnecessary, lies are unnecessary, most things we keep secret are unnecessary to be kept secret.

Accept that all things have a place, even if you don't like or agree with it.

People are stronger than you give them credit for.

Let go of the past and all its traps, and embrace the possibilities of the future.
