I know that for many people, if not most, family love is vital to personal growth. It helps to have a support system when you’re trying to achieve, and a person can often can do more when those who have known them longest and are deeply connected to them believe in them. Family love is often unconditional, and that in itself can be a huge help, to know that if you fail at trying to grow a particular way, there will still be those who love you.
I would encourage them not only to think about how their loving family members can support them in their growth efforts, but think about how they can support the family members they love. Often (but not always) our love and support comes back to us if we’re willing to give it away, and we can find a new source of strength in being able to love and support openly.
It’s like finding strength in vulnerability, because you’re doing something good even if it’s a somewhat vulnerable act, and no one can take away from you the fact that in the big picture, sharing love is what is right. If you can find the courage to openly do what is right, you can find new strength to grow with.

Family Love
- Don’t try to be someone you’re not. You are what your parents are and that is your destiny. Don’t try to fall far from the tree. Stick to your roots. It is your destiny.
- The most important thing in life is your family and friends.
- Think of your family and what you have or someone that means the world to you.
- Do what makes you happy. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, then you are not truly living. Keep family close.
- Don’t let life pass you by, go out and take control. Better yourself and the people around you, be there for your family and friends, and enjoy life because you only live once.
- I would tell them to live their life without regrets but also to respect their parents and laws. I would tell them this because later on they could say they wished they did something but they might not have the time or strengths anymore.
- Enjoy explore and do what you think you want to do at present with no regrets in future even in your career, family or in your social life.
- Don’t take everything so seriously. Enjoy life , work, and family. Make sure you are doing something you love.
- Dill Ki sun – always be positive, respect your parents, never hurt your loved one , trust on things which you have done for happening something good
- Take you own decisions, listen to others opinion but decide yourself. Respect your family and Make good friends, Travel the world, as much as you can.
- Do whatever it takes to find out what you really want to do with your life, especially when it comes to your work. Don’t have a job; have a career. Seek out teachers, family friends, coaches, and family, whoever it may be to help you uncover your passion. When you are able to discover whatever it may be set off on a path to follow it.
- Strike a balance between career and family. Learn as much as you much as you can.
- Most important questions i ask myself is about the a better tomorrow. That can be a week later or a year. How i can do better for my family and try to provide them the best possible life. An advice for any young adult is to keep focused and clear and anything they chose to do. that can be anything in the world which will give them and their family’s ultimate happiness and satisfaction.
- To follow the order of parents as it will pay through in the future.
- Don’t be afraid of standing out among the world and stay true to your family.
- I would tell young parents to embrace their babies as much as possible.
- Live life to the fullest. Be a good person and good things will happen. Being happy is not all about money and fame, but rather about family friends and health.
- To spend quality time with your family and the one you love.
- Respect yourself and your family. Only surround yourself with people that bring you up! Life is too short to live it anything but happy!
- Learn to forgive and love again. When we are at such a young age we strongly believe that the world is on our hands, but as we age, realize nothing is worth without the love of your family and friends. Unfortunately people tend to make wrong decisions when mad and bitter.
- To serve the society at your best. Wish I was the DC or social worker where I could bring in some changes and work for the downtrodden and help them to the best of my ability. Wish I had made my Parents/family proud by being a good wife/a good mother and treat me in laws as my own and clear any dispute happening in the family. Wish I was in a capacity to give financial/moral support to my friends……wish I had stood on my own feet without depending on anybody……
- Always listen to the advice that your parents give you. Your parent is the most important people in your life and the advice they give you is from experience. Also follow what you like to do, if you have interest or hobbies follow that interest or hobbies
- I would ask him to love his family and be honest to himself.
- It really depends on who is this person… but anyhow I would prefer having my family around to tell them how much I love them and how much is important to have their love… I think everyone has an impact on the world by living their lives. Therefore, I don’t feel the need to give an advise on my death bed!
- I would tell him to enjoy the simple pleasures in life. Don’t work too hard, spend the time building relationships with friends and family.
- Listen to your parents and the wise. Seek counsel of two or more people on big decisions
- Live Life how you want to not how your parents or friends tell you. Do what makes you happy not what makes other people.
- What I would tell the people that to don’t do don’t do drugs to be a better person and don’t make wrong decisions cause then they will realize it too late. to be nice with their parents, to don’t be mean to them and help them when they don’t ask you for cause their them sometimes they buy you things without a thank you from your own self.
- I would say: love your friends, love what you do, have a family of your own and most of all find a reason every day to be happy. These will give you a joyful and well deserve life :)
- Take care of the environment where you are living. Set an example to others. Love and respect your parents.
- Set goals, value family, save your money for your goals
- I would tell them to live life to the fullest and always listen to your parents because most of the time they are right and give good advice but we are all young once and know we don’t want to listen to them but really when you get older you would wish you would have listened to them and wish they were still here to have them give you advice and tell you what is wrong or right.
- Be true to yourself, know your value and worth and don’t settle for anything less. Besides family and friends, you are number 1 in your own life so make decisions for YOU. There will be many people who try to manipulate or use you, trust your instinct and gut feeling – it never lies. Money is NOT everything and cannot buy you happiness – appreciate the finer, non-material things in life x
- Do what makes you happy, not what your parents want you to do. No matter what as long as you do your best, they ‘ll be proud.
- Focus on the things that make you happy such as your family and hobbies and incorporate them as much as you can info your career.
- Follow your dreams and always let your parents know what it is you really want as early as possible so that they can support you.
- Look after the people you care about. Your family is all you really have.
