A reflection on 50 years of living and what my life has taught me and what it can teach you.

Life's Lessons List

You can come from nothing to become something
Ultimately, your family's values instilled within will guide you throughout life
Loss in life, if handled correctly, makes you stronger
A college education and continual nourishment of the mind will always open doors of opportunities
A life well planned will result in a life well lived
Balance the four boxes of life: Home, Family, Finances, Health and everything will be ok
Thinking out of the box often times gets you farther
Success = Know what you want + take action + observe + make little changes
To be successful in anything, you must learn from failures
If you direct your mind and body to something that is very deep and personal, you will achieve your outcome
Enthusiasm and creativity coupled with obtained knowledge produces awesome results
A person changes for the worst when money is the main focus
The best job in the world is the one where you help people
If the world understood the differences between desires, wants, and needs, it would be a better place
When you are told you have 5 years left to live, you prove them wrong and live 10 more
