*D--Decide *
Decide that you'll be successful and happy come what may, and good
things will find you. The roadblocks are only minor obstacles along
the way.
*E--Explore *
Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have
much to give. And every time you try something new, you'll learn more

*K--Know *
Know that no matter how bad things seem, they'll always get better.

room for endless happiness.

Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you'll suffer less
stress and worry. Then you'll be able to focus on the important things
in life.

your assistance when possible, and always your kindness and
understanding.

Open your eyes and take in all the beauty around you. Even during the
worst of times, there's still much to be thankful for.

happiness.

over.
*T--Try *
Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach, try anyway. You'll be
amazed by what you can accomplish.
