List twelve: Things I know

In my time on this planet, I’ve learnt that:

–       my life is wonderful

–       family and friends are everything

–       sport is actually what makes the world go around, not love

–       self awareness is one of the finest qualities a person can have

–       there is nothing more invigorating than engaging, thoughtful conversation

–       having simple tastes leads to happiness

–       we need to tread lightly on the earth

–       you should care about how people feel but not about what they think of you

–       to be a good listener, you need to ask better questions

–       there’s nothing more exciting than seeing someone’s life affected in a positive way by something you’ve said or done for them.
