Things to remember

Some things you never forget, and then there are some things you need to reminded of a little more often. I've been given a lot of advice during my life, like to not grow up too quickly and to enjoy the little things, which is what every ones told. But I've also been told some things that are important, but are said too often, so I feel like I need to be reminded sometimes. One of them was to always have a goal you're trying to reach. It doesn't seem like a great revelation, but I never really thought  about keeping goals, keeping something to work towards, until someone told me this. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that you have a reason for all the hard work and effort being put into something. Another was to always come back and visit your family, no matter where you end up. Once again seems simple, but so many people concentrate on getting out that they don't remember to come back and visit their family. Also, find at least one good friend who you can go to at any time for anything. They should be the person you would call at two a.m. and you're in need of someone to just talk to. They are that person who is more like a brother or sister than your own siblings. Let people know you love them, before it's too late. The saddest thing that can ever happen in my opinion is that someone dies and they don't know how much they meant to me. Don't regret things. Whether it's things you did or things you didn't do. Everything happens for a reason and just because things don't go as you planned them, it doesn't mean that they went the wrong way, they went the way God planned them to. Which is really hard to remember sometimes. The last one is that no matter how far away you are, or how bad life gets, your family will always be there. Your friends may give up on you, and you may have nowhere to go, but your family is never going to stop loving you. It doesn't matter how bad you've treated them or how long you've been away, they will always love you. This is all I can think of so far, but there is always something to to be reminded of.
