Don't judge, lest ye be judged. Treat everyone else they way you expect them to treat you. Love who you are, and never be ashamed of it!

As a child, I was raised in pretty strict, religious settings and had plenty of expectations lumped onto me that I had no desire to live up to. This put a lot of strain on my relationships with my family, so as much as I want to pass these lessons on to my kids, I'm also learning the same lessons from them, and trying my damnedest to not push them to be anything other than everything they want to be. My kids seem to be doing much better with it than I am, however...

not pushing them to be anything other than everything they want to be.

I feel like that's an important one.
