I would advise them that life it too short to worry and stress over lifes problems. Take it a day at a time and be grateful for all that you have. Never miss an opportunity to let those close to you know how much you care about them. Don't let your heart grow bitter over past experiences but learn to grow from them. And never be scared to love out of fear of a broken heart....Your heart will only grow stronger from the pain and when you finally meet that someone, You will fully appreciate all that they are.

Forget the past... forgiveness is the key. Life is so fleeting and you get so few chances and good things.... don't let your eyes be closed to what life has to offer because of a few bad experiences... it is all a learning experience and in the end the only think you have are your family and yourself... accept and love yourself and the rest will fall into place.

The very most important one thing I could ever teach/tell my children is that they are "WORTHY". This means they are worthy of respect, self respect, love - unconditionally, consideration, time, caring, thoughtfullness, etc.
I could never think of every possible scenario my children/loved ones would be in, so the very fact that they are worthy gives them the foundation that they will need to behave or react accordingly.

I would say climb more mountains, cross more seas, do not neglect the small things in life, see more sunrise and sunsets, smell more flowers, say i love you to your loved ones. Try not to be perfect, be hilarious at times, cry out loud, try not to be too prim and proper without hurting somebody, be yourself and most importantly, take more risks because only risk takers can say how far they can go. By then I could say I'm ready to meet my creator.

I would advice them not to make the same mistales i made in life and to liove each day like they will die the next day. And ensure that they know that liifeis much more precious than gold. Let themknow that in life they should" NEVER DIE TO FIT IN BECAUSE THEY ARE BORN TO STAND OUT"
"IF YOU STAND FOR THE TRUTH YOU WILL ALWYAS STAND ALONE"
"HE WHO HAS A SHARP TONGUE WJILL SOON SLIT HIS OWN THROAT"
"BE GOOD TO PEOPLE ON THE WAY UP THE LADDER CAUSE YOU WILL NEED THEM ON YOUR WAY DOWN"

Live everyday to the fullest. Don't wait to go for what you really want. It's never too late to change your life. Never go to bed angry at the ones you love. Don't take life for granted because before you know it...it's over. Don't sweat the small stuff.

The same good moral values I've taught them all the while I've been alive. I'm confident I won't have to make a last moment effort to get those points across.

Listen to your little voice....if you follow it .....you will find true happiness...that which is most important !! Love yourself first, and then all other love will flow naturally with perfect ease. You are perfect in your eyes, "I am that I am". You have free will to choose for you...there is no fear unless you choose it to be so. Let your light shine so very bright and powerful for all to see !!

Treat regrets as experiences and not let them wear you down.
