Time gets away. Don’t feel bad for forgetting.

Often times we have projects that we enjoy working on. However, as much as we enjoy working on these projects, they aren’t the focus of our lives and sometimes they get put on the back-burner. And sometimes we just leave them there. Maybe permanently or just for a little while but either way is fine. Those little projects aren’t always meant to be completed. They can be there to help you grow.

Even best friends can have different opinions

No one is the same, we each have our own set of ideals and beliefs that come from our own experiences; it shouldn’t come as a surprise to find out that a friend of yours doesn’t think the same way on one thing, if not multiple. Part of being a loyal friend is respecting what your friends think as long as it isn’t harmful; don’t ruin a good friendship simply because you’re “right” and they’re “wrong”.

Be Loyal to yourself as well

Loyalty to yourself is just as important as loyalty to others. Sometimes, you need to take care of yourself before you can be there for others. If you aren’t all good, then it’s going to be harder to be there and help your friends. It isn’t selfish to worry about your own problems first. If someone demands you put them before yourself every time, it might be time to reconsider if they’re really your friend

It doesn’t hurt to keep trying

Often times, we want to give up when it gets difficult. But progress is never made by not trying. You may fail a lot, but ultimately you’ll be better off if you keep at it because eventually you will do it. No matter what it is.

Celebrate the small victories

Big successes can be far apart, and it makes it seem as if you aren’t doing well; but it’s all the small victories in between that have as much impacts as the big ones. Reward yourself every now and then for those things, whether it’s making that phone call that’s been filling you with anxiety, making it through a job interview whether you did well or not, or making it through a really tough day. Get yourself something, take a break; just remind yourself that you’re doing alright.

Make your dreams a reality.

In life, you can be guided, but it’s your choices that make your reality. The choices you make create the person you become. Isn’t it great to see that person living their dreams? It’s all possible, just open your mind and see how to make it happen.

The future is always brighter

No matter how bad things seem, it’ll always get better. Whatever problems are plaguing you can and will be fixed with time. You’ll make real friends, you’ll get out of any toxic environment you’re in, and you’re life will be yours. A lot of things aren’t fair, I know. You’re undeserving of the pain you go through. But just keep trying and you’ll make it. I promise.

Sometimes it helps to let it all out

Bottling up your emotions just lets them build up. Taking the time for a good cry every now and then will help you move/take on whatever’s causing the negative emotions. Don’t just dwell and think about the stuff that makes you hurt; sometimes letting it out in any form, even saying it out loud to yourself, is good for you.

Not everypony can be your friend. But friendship is what you should intend.

Do not get me wrong and think "make some ponies your foes". But all I am saying is to be on your toes. Showing true goodness does not come with ease - especially if its everypony you try to please. But there will be a pony who tries to ruin the fun. But do not let them into your head - not that one. When you find somepony who acts really mean, never forget that you are the seam. Goodness should be the number one line, that ponies will draw to make everything fine. Nopony deserves the worst of another, evil should not be a gift for each other. Friend or foe, you should intend. To work, or to make, an enemy a friend.

Everyone Makes Mistakes

No one is perfect, and so we’re all bound to mess up a few times. Some only mess up a little while some might mess up a lot, but that’s okay. With mistakes come learning, and with learning comes being a better you. Dwelling on them can keep you down, so the best way to go about it is to accept the mistake and to work on fixing it. Mistakes are just opportunities to learn, so treat them as such. Trust me, as someone who makes a lot of mistakes, it’s never the end of the world.

Getting behind on work is okay.

It’s just fine to get a little behind on your work, just so long as you don’t let it all pile up and overwhelm you. Try your best to meet deadlines, but it’s not the end of the world if you can’t.

Don’t let others bring you down for enjoying something.

This is a very common thing that a lot of us do without knowing it. It’s also something I’m sure many of us, if not all of us have been through or going through right now. It may seem like it will never end, but bring a smiling attitude. You have every right to like the things you enjoy despite what others will say. They are not you and they have no right to tell you what you should and shouldn't like. Just smile and tell them that it’s not their decision so respect yours.

Having one good friend is better than having lots of flaky friends. 

Everypony wants to have LOTS of friends, but sometimes when you focus on the quantity of your friends instead of the quality, you’ll end up with friends who are your friends for the wrong reasons. One or two really good friends can make all the difference, though, so work on building quality friendships instead of trying to get the most friends.

It’s okay to live in the shadows. You’ll end up shining brighter.

Sometimes it feels like there’s someone to steal the spotlight and you live in the shadows. The shadows aren’t so bad as long as you don’t give up and fight to be seen. Once you’re in the spotlight, you’ll shine brighter than ever imagined. It’ll give you the thrill you need to keep you going! -- even when you take a nap in the shadows to recharge!

Don’t change yourself to please others

You are just fine the way you are! Stay true to yourself, and remember that other ponies opinions of you don’t matter!
