Ten Things a Person Should Do In This Lifetime

1) Pray Daily

2) To leave the world a bit better by my having been here

3) To dream big dreams and be willing to pay the price to make them come true

4) To help a stranger in need

5) To do something others said was impossible

6) To take a stand on something and not back down under pressure

7) To never lose childlike enthusiasm

8) To use what I'm good at and give it back to the world

9) To love unconditionally

10) Adopt a pet
