What Is The True Nature Of Humankind?

DO WHAT YOU DO. Just be you!! Find people who are like you and like to be around you. Always try your best because you never really fail when you know you tried so hard! Ignore the gossip and drama of life and school, all they do is bring you down and make people hate more and more. That is one of the most important things! The more drama you're in, the less happy you will be!! And after drama usually comes regrets. And those are horrible. Everything you do in your life you have to stop and think, "Will I regret this later on?" And trust me, if you're about to do something and you're already regretting it or fearing it, it's not going to turn out any better afterwards. Unless it's like facing your fear or something! That's a good type of churning gut feeling! :) And never, EVER degrade yourself!! Because if you aren't happy with yourself, how can others be? But if you truly, honestly don't like a certain trait about yourself, change it. You make yourself. No one else does. It's all you and you do have control no matter how much you think you may not!! I hope this advice helped, and good luck! :) I hope you turn out as happy as humanly possible!

The true source to happiness is finding Jesus and HAVING a personal relationship with Him. Also, fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit will give you the strength to maintain your new found happiness.
