I dislike who I am, and want to reinvent myself. I know I can do it! The only problem is I'm not sure who I want to become, I know who I DON'T want to be, but not exactly what I should focus on, you know?
My biggest priority is to become an HONEST person because I have lied so much in my life and ended up in the worst situations (WHOEVER READS THIS - NEVER LIE - ITS NOT WORTH IT - I MESSED UP MY LIFE AND LOST SO MUCH - PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE, especially don't lie about your past experiences to boys! they'll eventually know what you have/havn't done!!) so I'm coming up with ways to make sure I don't lie, or tell the truth when I do. And I thought I was making life EASIER by lying - but boy is life so much better now that I tell the truth!!
But now I need other goals to focus on, other qualities I want.. can you help me on what they could be and how to reach them??
Additional info, added Thursday August 2 2007, 8:49 am: PS. small goals that would make me a better person are good too! like i heard someone say "remember someones name every day" or "say hello to someone you think is lonely"! Anything really, I just wanna go all the way now that I'm finally letting go of my old ways!
Here's another one I would focus on: make it a goal to be a person with a POSITIVE outlook on life. Try to avoid anything negative- talking bad about others, negative people, negative thoughts.
It's amazing what can be accomplished just with a positive attitude! You will also attract people who are more positive in nature themselves. Every time you catch yourself thinking something negative try to turn it around into a positive. You will be like a ray of sunshine for everyone around you and I guarantee that you will like this 'new you'.

Well everybody loves a good, honest, fun, and enjoyable person. So as long as you have a positive attitude always, I don't see why people won't like you.
Here are some things that came to my mind-
always live life to the fullest (aka- be brave and confident)
be independant (people don't like people who are always counting on others)
be ambitious (when you start something, don't quit)
smile!!! if you are always depressed, nobody will want to be around you. Someone wants a friend who will lift their spirits up when they are feeling down. So they will choose a friend who is always happy.
keep your head up high ( if someone makes a rude comment about you, don't go spreading rumors about them.... just ignore them and let them be the desperate one for attention, not you )
don't be selfish ( think of others before you make a choice )
If you do all of those things, plus being honest... i gaurntee you that you're life will be much more pleasant, then a persons life who is always lying, cheating, selfish etc.

and you can try and be there for your friends and family if your not already - like if they need someone to listen to them, listen to them and help them out [not sure if you do this already just a suggestion :)]
also you could try and smile at everyone, or anyone that looks sad so you come off as a happy person that people can talk to!
