Words To Live By

Advice for young people to be their best selves
Giving Back
It ’ s not about money . The most valuable thing we can give to someone is your time … taking them in and saying ‘ I see you . Sit right here with me and tell me your story .’
Using our resources of friendship to put people in places where someone else can help them is also giving back .
The most precious thing you can give is your time . We ’ ll never run out of ways to give and we don ’ t have to be billionaires to give . We all have a heart , something must move us to say , there ’ s somebody who needs this more .
Make the loudest voices in your head be positive voices . Turn down the volume on negativity .
Choose your love language to yourself . Get up in the morning and say , “ I can . I will . It is done .”
Self-Esteem & Empowerment
The best book you ’ re ever going to read is your own story and everyday we ’ re writing a chapter .
We have a choice for how we react to things , I always choose to walk out of something feeling joy .
My Grandma told me , when you walk into a room and there are people in that room , after you leave that room , ever single one of them should be made better that you were there .
