Dream, but don’t escape.
Strive, but don’t stress.
Care, but don’t control.
Learn, but don’t boast.
Help, but don’t impose.
Listen, but don’t judge.
Hope, but don’t rely.
Speak, but don’t deceive.
Admire, but don’t envy.
Seek, but don’t force.
Live, but don’t rush.
Rest, but don’t idle.
Create, but don’t compare.
Give, but don’t expect.
Feel, but don’t dwell.
Love, but don’t depend.
Observe, but don’t absorb.
Desire, but don’t need.
Move, but don’t haste.
Dance, but don’t falter.
Explore, but don’t wander.
Trust, but don’t blind.
Grow, but don’t overreach.
Shine, but don’t glare.
Cherish, but don’t cling.
Value, but don’t hoard.
Guide, but don’t control.
Ask, but don’t demand.
Smile, but don’t feign.
Thank, but don’t flatter.

You gave a lot of good advice but how many do you think will follow for some are kind of hard to do at times.
