1. Remember to tell those people you care about that you love them. The last thing you ever want to say to someone before they leave this earth, or before you do, is something bad. I know I personally want my final words to be I love you.

2. Remember to watch children as they learn and experience the world. Children are one of god's most amazing gifts. I love to watch small children as they learn about and experience the world. They have so much to teach us about truly experiencing life without the conditioning and programming we have by the time we become adults.

3. Remember to laugh often and smile much. Life is way, way to short to be miserable and sad most of the time. Remember to laugh at every opportunity you get, and smile as much as you possibly can. Even if it's over something small or stupid to other people. Enjoy every moment you possibly can.

4. Stop and watch the sun rise and set from time to time. It's easy to get caught up in our busy lives and forget to experience the small things. Let the warmth of a setting sun touch your face, and let the rising sun remind you of a new and glorious day.

5. Enjoy the brilliant colors of the changing leaves. I love autumn. The colors are so magnificent and brilliant. It's such a wonderful experience to open up and let the colors flow through me.

6. Figure out what you want to be when you grow up. In my opinion, anyone without goals and dreams already has one foot in the grave. Everyone feels more alive when they have goals and dreams to move toward. So figure out what you want to be, do, and have, and always move toward those things.

7. Remember to stop and listen. Listen to the world around you without labeling it or judgeing it. Listen to the birds, the sound of the wind, soft gentle music. Simply remember to stop and listen from time to time and see what magnificent beauty there is in the world all around us all the time.

8. Truly slow down and taste every single bite of your food. So many people eat so fast that they barely taste what they are eating. Enjoy things as you eat them, and take twice as long as you normally do to chew each and every single bite.

9. Cry more often. Make them tears of joy, of excitement, of sadness at times also. I love when I am so full of passion and excitement and joy that I get choked up with tears. I also enjoy the moments of sadness that cause tears to flow from me.

10. Open up and enjoy the entire experience of human emotions. So many people try to cling to the good emotions and run from the bad ones. Allow yourself to experience all of them as they happen. Emotions are like the weather and they come and go on a moment to moment basis. Take the time to connect and feel everything around you and inside of you all the time.
