Guiding Principles

These are a few of the principles I live my life by.

1. Life isn’t fair, but it’s still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. You don’t have to win every argument.  Agree to disagree.
4. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
5. Don’t compare your life to others.  You have no idea what their journey is all about.
6.  Everything can change in the blink of an eye.  But don’t worry; God never blinks.
7. Take a deep breath.  It calms the mind.
8. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
9. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
10. It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.  But the second one is up to you and no one else.
11.  When it comes to going after what you love in life, don’t take no for an answer.
12. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
13. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
14. Forgive everyone everything.
15. Time heals almost everything.  Give time.
16. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
17. Believe in miracles.
18. Don’t audit life.  Show up and make the most of it now.
19. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
20. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
21. The best is yet to come.
