HOW TO BE THE BEST YOU CAN

1. 1
   Figure out what you want from life. Write it down, and every day make a small step towards that goal. Rome wasn't built in a day. Don't stress about time. You have your entire life.
2. 2
   Look in the mirror every morning and say; "Today, I will be the best I can be." Yes, it sounds corny, but it really helps building confidence.
3. 3
   Ask people you trust (family, friends) for constructive criticism on different parts of your life. They will most likely be honest with you and can help you to become a better person.
4. 4
   Find a role model. Someone you admire, or wish you were more like. it could be a neighbor who always has a smile, or a celebrity who really accomplished their dreams. See what makes that person so great and try to do what they do.
5. 5
   Be confident. No one ever got anywhere amazing by playing it safe. Take risks. Sometimes you fail, but it's worth it to gain learning experience. And sometimes, you just might win.
6. 6
   Smile often. This will make you automatically go into a positive mood. It will make you and those around you feel happy, and people will feel more comfortable to approach you.
7. 7
   Eat healthy. This is an incredibly important step to live life to the best. Not just eating healthy, but go to the gym and train daily, or even just go for a jog around the yard. This will keep you in shape and you will feel extremely energetic and ready to do anything!
8. 8
   Be yourself. We were talking about being yourself when you dress, but also be you in your personality. Make the most of being in the skin you're in!
9. 9
   Try out new things! Don't be afraid to try something else out. Join a group or club - sign up for the choir, join a dance troupe, start sports training - whatever is to your liking! You can meet many new people, and you may even find a hidden talent of yours!

    Make friends. Don't just let yourself off on your own! Make sure you try and meet as many people as you can. Talk to them as well. Start conversations. This is a fantastic way to live your life to the fullest. Friends will be there for you to catch your falls!

    Be fun to be around. Start a club, go bowling with friends, whatever you want to do.
12. 12
    Help others. Do deeds not just for your friends, but also donate to charities. Do a door knock for a good cause, put old clothes and toys in the charity bins they have around. A visit to a hospital or a retirement home to make someones day. Wrap an extra Christmas present and put it under a charity tree (they have these at most shopping centers and big stores). After all, they want to live a great life too.....
