LIFE SKILLS TIP:

“There are consequences to your actions. It may not be today or tomorrow but be mindful of what youdo because there are consequences also no YOLO. That “you only live once” – don’t do that, because youcould die tomorrow, but what if you don’t die tomorrow? The decisions you make today could affectyour tomorrow and here on out. So that’s advice I give to my students . . . who have this mentality of,“But I could die tomorrow!” Well, there’s a big chance you won’t, so don’t do that today. That’s mybiggest mantra is be mindful of what you do because it will come back to you eventually.”
