Making peace with myself.  Money is nice, relationship is nice.....but rather have peace with myself above all.  If have inner peace, then happiness usually follows. :-)

I recently compiled this list for a friend who has to give a graduation speech next month. Here are a few of my favorites. Good luck!\n\nYou must be the change you wish to see in the world. \n- Gandhi\n\nA person starts to live when he can live outside of himself.\n- Einstein\n\nMake your work in keeping with your purpose.\n- Da Vinci\n\nWhen you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.\n- Eleanor Roosevelt\n\nMay you live all the days of your life.\n- Jonathan Swift\n\nWe are what we repeatedly do.\n- Aristotle\n\nNo matter where you go, there you are.\n- Buckaroo Banzai

i agree...has to do it for himself...but a great way to start any new relationship is doing things together - so start with the family therapy, build trust and confidence. and share things together.\nthere are so many little jobs that need to be done at my humble abode...i think i am gonna stop spending so much time on the comp and start working out and redecorating the old home again...kinda boring doing that alone tho..maybe that's why those darn kitchen tiles are still on

Dont worry - you could be thirty and living by yourself and they will still treat you like you are 12. Thats something parents do :)\nDont worry - move out when you can and move on. Love and respect your parents but sooner or later, you need to take responsibility for your life

None. But if you want to be totally independent you need to move out.

Always remember that the greatest irony of wisdom is that it's accrued almost entirely through stupidity, so all the great thinkers in life had to screw up much more than your average person to accumulate the wisdom of the ages.  So long as you're learning from your mistakes, they can be a very positive thing for you to have since it gives you a much more thorough perspective of matters than succeeding easily would.\n\nTo quote (loosely) Thomas Edison after several weeks of searching for a way to make the lightbulb and testing thousands upon thousands of options for creating one, and having them all end up not working:\n\n"I didn't fail, I found 2,000 ways how not to make a light bulb; I only need to find one way to make it work."\n\nJust consider this a good start down the road to that lightbulb moment when things finally lock into place for you!

I know I do not have all the answers that you need. But I hope that somehow my ideas would help.\n\nLoneliness is all in the mind. We can choose to be lonely or otherwise. Instead of sulking in a corner thinking of life's myseries and heartaches, why not boost your self esteem by thinking about the good things that happened to you  (and around you) and the good things that you expect to happen.\n\nGo out with friends and amuse yourself. Talk to people whom you trust and tell them about what's bothering you. Or get away for a while, alone - commune with nature, meditate, talk to God (or whoever you believe is the highest being). You'll realize that there are still beautiful things to be thankful for. Afterall, problems are there to be faced head on. \n\nDo not live with loneliness. Deal with it. Instead of living with it, come out a winner over your problems/frustrations or whatever causes this feeling of loneliness. You should not allow problems/negative ideas influence your life and take away the happiness that you deserve. You should take control.

Depends on the house.  However I would, for example:\n\n1. Refrain from smoking without the host's permission\n2. Remember to flush after using the toilet and lower the seat.\n3. Wash my hands afterward and straighten the towel I used to dry\n4. Clean up any messes I make including offering to wash dishes after meals.\n5. If staying longer than a day or two, go shopping and bring back groceries for everyone, and also flowers are nice.\n6. Refrain from excessive noise at odd hours\n7. If using the kitchen, be sure to make enough for everyone, like with coffee.  Wake up early and make a whole pot.\n\nand so on.  Common sense should be enough.\n\nSome cute links:

I think you need to explore life and travel before settling down.  Go to college, get a career for yourself, get a job, an apartment.  See what it's like to live on your own.  Be independent before you become dependent on anyone.  Trust me, I was with someone but I cut him short, did all the above and now I am married with child and I can't tell you how happy I am.  I've done the things I wanted to before settling down.
