People you can laugh and play with, that will always make your day worth living. People you can turn to for advice and sympathy, for support and for guidance.
Nobody's perfect. You find that some friends are better for some things, while others are better for others. Always focus on the positive, and look for what each friend has to add to your life. If it gets to a point where they don't add anything, maybe they're not really your friend anymore.
The essence of true friendship is to make allowances for one's little lapses --David Storey

Life's about Family
People that will always love you and support you, unconditionally and without limits. People that you should never be afraid to turn to, on any issue.
When you or anybody in your family really messes up, they will probably face all kinds of consequences. They may loose friends, or jobs, or money, or respect. There's a big world full of so much opportunity. So many good people, and good places. Good jobs and relationships. But also bad people, and bad places. And bad jobs, and bad relationships. Your family should always be, the one place that you can turn to, when everything else falls apart.

Life's about Compromise
Give and take. Pick and choose. Balance. Tolerance. Sacrifice. Compromise in all different parts of your life.
You can't do it all, so you need to figure out what's really important. What's important to you, that you want to do, and what's important for your life, that you have to do. And then you have to balance them out. You need both to be happy and successful, but you never want one to overpower the other. I don't think its ever good to be too extreme in anything, no matter what.
Also, you pick your battles. Some things can't be changed. Don't let that drag you down. There's so much to think about in the world, so much to fill your mind with. When you fill it with positive thoughts, you will generally live a happier life. When you fill it with negative thoughts, you might tend to be more sad or angry. I'm not suggesting you go live in a little bubble and block out all the bad things in the world, because they can be important too, just maybe don't fill up on things that can't be changed.
You can't stop the waves but you can learn to surf. --Unknown

Life's about Dreams
What do you want to do with your life? How can you make a difference in the world?
There is definitely a valid approach to life, of just taking things one day at a time. However, you don't want to just wander through life either. Life without dreams is life without purpose. I think that the more clearly you understand just what you want, the easier it is to get it. The only way to really live your life to the fullest, is with some direction. Some destination. Some dream.
Dream as if you'll life forever, live as if you'll die today. -- James Dean

Life's About Love. Life's about Music. Life's about the little challenges. Life's about the little victories.
That's Life, as far as I can tell. And that's Dustin's View.
