Heard my mom advise my sister: "What you worry about the most seldom happens."  

 

That made a lot of sense then and whenever I thought about her words.

And it's never too soon to start saving for retirement.

That my life is in my hands and don't sit back and wait for something to happen or someone else to make me happy. Get out there and do it myself!!

1. No one is thinking about you as much as you think they are.

2. Listen to your mother. She has your best interest at heart.

Try harder and do better in school-it will serve you well.

Take time every day to enjoy where you are without a need to fix it

I just have to add:  when people show you who they are, believe them.
