The world is meant to be explored
Knowledge is power, with power comes a price, make sure its one you're willing to pay.
Never settle
Know that your momma loves you with every ounce of her being.
Respect women
Respect is a two-way street.
Always try to win
If you fail, chalk it up to life lessons.
Never give up on your dreams
Love is a decision
Spend time alone and get to know yourself
Be thankful for what you have
If you never stop learning, you never stop living
It takes a village to raise a child
Be sure to always use your moral compass, it points the right direction
Be good to people and appreciate them
You are in control of you
Don't hide or be ashamed of your sensitivity
You can't be responsible for another person's happiness, just your own.
Forgive
Pay attention to the lights in your car, check your oil from time to time
Change the filter in your A/C every month (or every other month)
Make your decisions based both on logic and feeling
Invest in the relationships that matter most
Looking successful is different from being successful
Passion isn't found or pursued, its cultivated
Its ok to be weird or different, just be you
Building your character is more important than building your resume
Apologize when you should
Forgive, always forgive.
Be a man of your word
Your attitude determines a lot more than you think
Happiness isn't a feeling, its a choice
Be a good listener
Always know that you are important
Stand up for yourself but don't be a bully
Look people in the eye when they are talking to you
Find a hobby and invest in it
Don't take life or yourself too seriously
Life isn't always fair
I am your #1 fan and I will always be on your team.
Always be proud of who you are
The internet is permanent
Love your mother because she loves you in a way that you can't understand until you have children of your own.

I'm sorry in advance that you'll never get to listen to an entire song before I skip to the next one.
I will believe in you, even when you fail
I promise to always find a way to challenge you to challenge yourself to be a better version of you.
I will always be on your team, even when you're wrong and even when we lose.
On those days that you can only give 30% I promise to give 70% as long as you are willing to do the same for me.
I promise I will never throw away your favorite t-shirt
Now I understand why it never worked out with anyone else.
