#3: Be Happy

Day 3: Pass on some useful advice or information you learnt and always remembered.

Well there is the good old saying that if you eat carrots you will be able to see in the dark. Don't listen to your parents kids, its all lies. That would be the unhelpful advice that I don't want to pass on to you.. unless you are trying to make your children eat food. If that is the case then you might as well tell them that crusts of bread makes their hair curly while you're at it. 

I am always giving out advice, wether it makes sense or not. There have been times when I have been known to make things up to make situations better. If I don't know the answer there is a 99% possibility that I will Google the problem or delve into the random thoughts in my head and string together a sentence to make people happy. It turns out that people turn to me to look for advice on pretty serious things such as relationship issues, which oil to cook food in and wether or not they should drop out of uni. All of which I am not qualified to help with but I do my best to give the best advice I can. (unless its which oil to cook food in, my Mom tells me I give people wrong advice on that).

Here is what I have learnt through helping others and by listening to peoples gossip in lectures or on the bus; you have to be happy. YOU. 

Diane Von Furstenburg said, "The most important relationship in your life is the relationship you have with yourself. Because no matter what happens, you will always be with yourself"

It is okay to be selfish and put yourself before others... sometimes. If you are not happy, other people can tell. You can lie all you want but people will still see through the charade. Do things that make YOU happy, talk to people that make YOU happy and move away from the people that belittle you, it really can be as simple as that. Life is hard, I think we all know that, so stop complaining and do something about it. 

You don't have to be a people pleaser. If you don't want to do something then don't. If you want to do something and everyone around you is saying not to, you don't need to listen to them, you can do it if you know it will make you happier. 

It is okay to make mistakes, that's what the past is for. (unless you did something terrible like.. killed someone or something. Thats just bad.) So, don't drag yourself down about something that you did last year or five minutes ago, you have already done it, you can't change that. Just make sure that each day you make yourself better than you were when you made that mistake. Make yourself happier by looking forward to the future.

Jump around and sing your head off it it makes YOU happy. Listen to the music you like without shame if it makes YOU happy. Wear ridiculous clothes if it makes YOU happy. Go to places you have never been, do things that you never thought you would do and push yourself. Life is an adventure, love it.
