Today I had a conversation that got me thinking about a lot of things. As I am in the process of growing, and trying to become the person that I want to be, I realized that I need some kind of map. I need a set of rules that can guide me towards my goal. This is the list I have made.
1. Creativity is free. Don’t be afraid to be silly.
2. The golden rule still means something, even more so in adulthood.
3. It’s taken you a long time to become who you are. Don’t compromise that for anyone.
4. The best cure for having a million things to do is to actually get them done.
5. Considering other points of view doesn’t mean you are giving yours up. Eschew obfuscation.
6. Relaxation is the perfect reward for putting forth effort. But rewards should be proportional to effort.
7. You have rationale and emotion. Use them in tandem.
8. Check your privilege in all situations.
9. Music will always be there. Enjoy it every single day.
10. If you haven’t felt alive today, it’s time to start.
11. Remember that good people can do bad things. Forgiveness takes effort.
12. Never pass up an opportunity to learn something new.
13. You’ve been in your comfort zone long enough. Time to relocate.
14. Confidence really is the sexiest thing a person can have.
15. Your problems don’t solely effect you. Remember those that have been there.
