What's the single most important thing you've learned about yourself as a result of answering these questions?

Stop Judging Yourself- Be nicer to yourself. Stop having negative conversations with yourself. Stop putting yourself down. (Harder than it looks)

Stop Judging Others- We are not here to judge one another.

Pursue Fun With A Vengeance- Fun should not be squeezed into a week long vacation. Fun should always be a part of your life.
