Old to Young

Dear Young Tim,  
 
    You're worrying for nothing. There are so many things you can't control, so worrying about them won't change a thing.
    Whether you are happy or not is a choice. When you wake up, wake up happy. Make the world convince you that it's a bad day.  
    Be bolder. If you want to sing, then sing. You get better by practicing. Take lessons when you are young. Learn to play a guitar. Learn to play the piano. Learn to handle money. No matter what you do, money will be important.
    Life is short. Do things. Try things. See things.
    People come and go in your life. Don't be sad when they leave. Enjoy them while they are there.
    Don't be blinded by pretty people. Looks fade. Long term beauty is in the soul.  
 
Good luck always,
Old Tim

P.S.
    Blame is a worthless endeavor. Don't bother assigning blame, instead look for solutions to the situation. If someone screwed up, they already know it, and odds are they are already beating themselves up for it.
