Advice for my son:
Appreciate the people and the things in your life.
You are not entitled to anything so you need to work hard and then you will be rewarded. Entitlement just leads to negative feelings towards others, it can build into resentment and will cast a cloud of doom over your head. You dont want to be someone who wakes everyday and is unhappy with their life. In order to be happy with life you need to appreciate it, even if you do not have many possessions or the "nicest" things. Look around and you will see there's always someone who has more and there's plenty of people who have less. So give yourself credit for what you've achieved.
The people you keep in your life should also be treasured. There are simple ways to show them that you value their presence, you should make sure they know it. You never know how long someone will be a part of your life so don't take them for granted.
As you grow older I know you will be influenced by me and your daddy, and our views of life's situations can be very different sometimes. Just remember to enjoy the little things and when you are older looking back you will see them with nothing but the fondest memories.
