Father's Day

Robert Montoya 1952-2007

There are many life lessons that I learned from my dad, some while he was alive and some after he passed:
Always be who you are and true to yourself even if others want you to be something else
Have fun, but don't forget about your responsibilities
Find your passions and make them a part of your life
There is great satisfaction in teaching 
Sing and play the guitar, even if you're not that great at it
Work hard
Live life as an adventure
Enjoy the beauty in nature
Have compassion towards others
Make many friends and hold certain ones close to your heart forever
Be free
Strive
Dance
Have dreams and goals
Never settle for less than the best
Let go of that which does not serve you well
Push yourself to be all you can be
Never underestimate yourself
Take chances
Be fearless
Educate yourself
Never be afraid to tell someone how you feel
Our time here is limited and you never know when it will end so be grateful and happy as much as you can
