Jealousy  is a complete waste of time and is usually wasted on someone who's not worth it in the end. The only person you should be worried about is you and you cant control others actions nor should you be jealous of them. I believe that life is about improving yourself not feeling sorry for yourself because others have it better than you. If your feeling jealous of them its probably cause you haven't worked as hard as them. Good things don't come to those who wait good things come to those who work there buts off. Also don't be jealous of others looks you were born the way you were for a reason so don't stress about it. There is nothing bad about a little jealousy because it motivates you to work harder just don't let it get out of control.

In wikipedia it says Dreams are successions of images, ideas, emotions, and  sensations that occur involuntarily in the mind during certain stages of sleep. I once had a dream where i was fighting a scorpion on a tilting platform that shot out acid. I was was wearing spartan armor (not halo armor) and had a rubber spear. Anyways long weird dream short i ended up ... undressed in the forest covered in what seemed to be whipped cream and honey. Thats really the only dream i can vividly remember. I have dreams all the time but just forget them really fast. My brother told me about this thing called lucid dreaming. Lucid dreaming is basically like being conscious during a dream and being able to control it. He mentioned that there are some techniques to be able to put yourself into a lucid dream so i looked it up and this is what i found. Okay so step one is to ask yourself repeatedly throughout the day "Am i dreaming". If you do it enough you can remember it during a dream then suddenly become aware you are dreaming. Step two is to keep a dream journal. If you keep it by your nightstand and record your dream when you wake up yo can  then can go though it and recognize signs of stuff you dream about often. Step 3 tell yourself you are going to have a lucid dream before you go to sleep. Step four is ... HAVE FUN ! Of course there are more techniques than this but these are the most common. 

Embarrassment is just a part of life we all have to endure. Embarrassment is a painful but important emotion. It makes us feel bad so we don't repeat mistakes.  Don't be embarrassed about stuff that is in sync with your values. If you feel embarrassed because someone is trying to peer pressure into using drugs and you don't feel "cool" don't worry because its not something to be embarrassed about. Embarrassment is unavoidable so the best thing you can do is just shrug it off and move pass it. There are however ways you can avoid embarrassment ... basically just use common sense and don't be stupid.

Fear is just a collection of thoughts we have in our mind - Will Smith. I think fear is a great motivator and a great teacher. By conquering our fears we can achieve greatness intrinsically and extrinsically . Fear can be our best friend and our worst enemy. Franklin Roosevelt once said " The only thing you have to fear is fear itself". I hate being afraid to do something . I hate being afraid of fear. I think the only way to get rid of fear is to tackle everything your afraid of one at time. Fear can help motivate you but at the same time  it can hurt you by making you to afraid to progress. My suggestion is get outside your comfort zone and pick one thing your afraid of and work on beating that fear everyday until you conquer it. Then when your done find something else your afraid of and do the same. Change your mind set and thought process. Everyday instead of thinking i can't do this switch it to i can do this! Either you conquer fear or it conquers you.
