I 'was' a very dyslectic and hyperactive child when I was young.
You know...the usual hyperactive kid with the constant habit of interrupting people.
I also had trouble reading.
But I wasn't retarded. No No no....I was quite smart.

But as I got older, my sense of self-awareness finally created stability.

But it's not like I was functioning on a different level of intelligence, just that I process information differently.

When I turned 18, I was simply thinking 'clearer'.
My mind finally slowed down a little instead of racing like mad all the time.

And I'm just glad that I never made any bad decisions growing up.

What I learned most importantly...is that you must find a sense of 'inner-peace'.

Always be calm in your decisions.
And never put yourself in a situation where you have to be rushed.

So here's my personal list.
*(I don't always follow this)

1. Always be self-aware in your manners, but not self-concious of your emotions.
2. Find inner peace by consulting with your own sense of rationality.
3. If your rationality doesn't make sense, seek guidance through the knowledge of elders and books.
4. If you're too lazy for books, download an audio book for relatively the same price as buying a book.
5. Always exercise and eat healthy.
6. Always invest time for sleep. It helps you exercise and eat healthier foods.
7. Don't be lazy.
8. It's all in the attitude.
9. Even if you can't accomplish anything you plan, be gentle on yourself.
10. Encourage yourself, don't punish yourself.

The way I see it, even if you can't follow your own list, it's far better than giving in to bad habits.
You only get one life.
You might as well try to live it the way you truly want to live it.

If life is 'cyclical' as most Buddhists and Hindus view life, then you might as well live it the way you want to.

No regrets!

Now...don't take that out of context. Because "living life the way you want to" may cause 'HUGE regrets."

So you really should plan things out. And contemplate your own rationality.

But don't waste your life completely with rationality.

You need to act too. Sometimes like a dyslectic child...in the 'spur' of the moment.

Instead of planing or vowing...Just DO IT!
