#92 be yourself...

 Don't let who you are be controlled by who you were, who someone else thinks you are, or who someone else thinks you should be.

You are your own person, your soul is a beautiful thing sent here for it's own purpose. You should not judge yourself by anybody else standards, and you should not hold on to past perceptions and acts to let that define you. Each day is a new sheet of paper to be written.

Your past has helped you understand how to make a better future but should not define your future. The same way someone elses beliefs of who you are should not define you. They have their own perception and their own journey to travel.

I will let myself be influenced by people that I respect but I will not try to emulate them. I will not try to be a mother theresa, to be a mohammad ghandi, a martin luther king, a john kennedy, a thomas jefferson. 

When I reach judgement day I will not be judged by how close to those individuals I have come. I will be judged on whether I was the best "Buddy Guthrie" that I could be.

#93 don't be a slave to your past

they say that it's not the strongest of the species that survives, but the one most adaptable to change, the world changes around us and we must be constantly able to adapt to best fit into it,
what worked yesterday might not work today, and what works today might not work tomorrow, you should learn from every experience and carry the knowledge with you, but do not carry the burden of mistakes, the past is the past, nothing more, nothing less, it happened, you went through it, your here now, leave the past behind, let it go, live in this moment the stronger person that you are because of it, plan for the future, but don't be so set it your plans that you can not adapt as needed to enjoy today, moments are all that we have, they are precious, they are few, sometimes they are amazing, sometimes they suck, but they end, and the next one comes, tomorrow is going to be hard enough to deal with on it's own, so why carry the weight of yesterday with you, let that shit go, move on, live and learn, learn and live...

# 94 the only thing that can strengthen a man's charachter more than the confidence from courage, is the humbleness that comes from humility

enough said

#95 admit your mistakes, know your weaknesses, learn from your faults

We quite often focus on the things we do right, or our accomplishments. These are great to learn from, but we can learn as much if not more from our mistakes and failures. The bigger man is not one who believes he has no faults, makes no mistakes, does nothing wrong (because that man (woman) does not exist. The bigger man and the one that become true leaders, leading by example, is the one that owsn up to his mistakes, admits his weaknesses, and works to overcome them.

#96 get outside often

your body was made to interact with nature, walk barefoot, feel the grass, feel the stones, let the sun hit your body without sunscreen, absorb the vitamin D (that doesn’t mean lay out for hours without moving and wonder why you get sunburned,) this means play outside, work outside, walk outside, run outside, experience the heat, the cold, the rain, the wind, swim in a lake or a river, play in the sand, climb rocks, run through fields of grass, catch a fish, climb a tree, be one with nature and not one with your television set,

#97 give up on excuses

the only thing that stands between you and your dreams are the bullshit excuses you put there. I would but.... ehhhh-naaaahhh, i always wanted to however.... ummmm bullshit, you dont need howevers, buts, if only's , would haves, always wanted to's...
you need did's, in the process of doing, going to do agains...
to achieve some of your dreams will ...take hard work, sweat, sometimes blood, perseverance, dedication, humility, suffering, and sactifice, but your choice is what do you want to sacrifice your dreams so that you have more time to sit on the couch and let the television rot your brain, or sacrifice your wasted time to put that effort towards pursuing your dreams, the journey is yours, no one can chose for you which path to take.....

#98 make a habit out of watching sunrises and sunsets

these transitional times of the day pull together a tranquility that can only be described as hypnotizing, when one fully submerges themselves in those moments they can truly become one with the day, whether it be symbolic of the closing of one and the opening of another or just the transition between darkness and light, there is no denying the power of these moments, they are a great time to reflect on the day that has passed, or dream of the day that will come, they are also a great time to cook bacon...

#99 don't wait for happiness,

goals are good, but not at the expense of enjoying today, tomorrow is not promised and you shouldn't put of being happy, life is about the journey not the destination, make sure you enjoy the journey that your are on

#100: Get rid of excess bullshit...

be a minimalist, having extra things that you never, and probably will never use just takes up valuable real estate,and gets in the way slowing you down from getting to the things you actually need, besides if you need something in a pinch, most likely all your friends who don’t follow this rule will have one you can borrow, otherwise good riddance....
