12 Wise Advice I Received from My Grandmother
My dear grandmother, rest in peace, used to carry an old notebook with you, wherever you went. She filled him with beautiful thoughts and advice he received from wise people. All through my childhood, I had seen her writing things in her notebook, and I always thought they were her secrets. However, when I was on her deathbed, my grandmother called me and gave me the notebook. The advice that was written there changed my life, and it made me want to share them, hoping that the same thing happens to you. These are the things my grandmother taught me before she died ...

1. Accept things with love and understanding No matter where you are, or what you are doing, always believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Never wait, assume, or demand. Do your best to control your circumstances, and learn to accept that you can not always control everything. Once you have done everything in your power, if something is destined to happen, it will happen.
2. Life can be SIMPLE Even if you often feel life is complicated, it can always be simple. All you have to do is focus on one thing at a time. You do not have to do everything, and you do not have to do it now. Be present, be active, do the best you can. Whatever you invest in life, it will bring you back - with interest.
3. Do not change for others. Make people accept you the way you are, or accept nothing. Always tell what you really think, even if it is not popular opinion. When you are true to yourself, you add beauty to the world - the beauty that was missing. You must remain on the axes, but make sure that they are YOUR axes.
4. You're not who you were before - and that's good. You've been through a lot in your life. You studied, got hurt and changed. Every day we learn something new that changes us in some way or another. Sometimes we realize that we are not what we used to be, but this is perfectly normal. Everyone changes. Many will comment that you have changed, and all you have to do is say "Of course I have, and so have you." Everyone changes.

5. Whatever happens is for the best. Whether meaningful or not, happy or sad, whatever happens will end up being in your favor. Everything that happens to us accumulates and helps us grow. Life will take you to places, show you things, heal you and make you a better person. Do not be afraid to try, or even fail, for in the end, everything is just a small part of the greater plan life has to turn you into who you should be.
6. Choose happiness, not wealth Many people live their lives believing that money will make them happy, but the pursuit of wealth is devoid of meaning. With every choice you make, be sure to consider your happiness, not your bank account. This way, when you reach old age, you will know the true value of things, not their price. In the end, you will understand that the best things in life are the things that money can not buy: love and friendship.
7. Decide to be positive One of the most important things you should understand about life is that if you are not happy, it is not the circumstances, but your decision to be unhappy. Whenever life puts obstacles in your way, give a big smile, accept the existence of the obstacle and overcome it with joy. Make the decision to be happy, take responsibility for your decisions and do everything in your power to achieve your goals. This is the true secret of happiness.
8. Give people you love your full attention. Often we get used to having loved ones around, and we forget to appreciate it. When you ask someone "How are you?" Do not accept a simple "okay". Look into their eyes and ask about their day, and how they really feel. And if you feel you have friends who only remember you when you need something, do not worry - be happy to be a source of light and hope for them.

9. Find Out How to Release Others to the World Sometimes we need to free a loved one so that they can grow and evolve. Every small sprout should leave the greenhouse one day and be planted in a larger pot to grow and bear fruit. It is not what you do for your loved ones that will help them grow, but rather what you have taught them and how they use that knowledge.10. Sometimes you need to leave people behind Unfortunately, not all of our friends help us to be better people. In some cases, friends can keep us atrophied, not out of spite, but because they want to keep us on the same level they are. Learn to recognize when this happens and be alone with friends who help you grow, and inspire you to be who you truly are.

11. Some things you only understand when you are older In the end, people will judge you according to your actions and so instead of trying to impress and please everyone, follow your heart and do what you want to do, without fear. Remember that it's better to remember something and say, "I can not believe I did it!" than to say "I wish I had done this ..."
12. Stop looking for a happy ending. We tend to look for a happy ending to everything that happens to us. We want a sense of closure and conclusion, but sometimes life just is not like that. If you feel like you've been looking for this happy ending for a long time, you may need to instead look for a fresh start. Never be afraid to leave everything behind and start over - you still have time no matter your age. Try to make the most of the time you have on this planet.
This was my grandmother's advice to me. She changed my life, and I hope I can do the same for you. Rest in peace grandma!
