When I wrote this, I was thinking of my nieces and nephews. I asked myself what lesson’s I’d like to share with them and just wrote down what came to mind.
Some things to live by:
Love people well.
Have values for yourself that are sacred to you.
Live in alignment with your values. If one of your values is love - be mindful of ANY areas of your life where you have fear, hatred, or disgust in you. Allow those moments to invite you back into alignment.
Don’t allow frustration or hatred to harbor in your heart. Have systems for cleansing your entire being on a regular basis.
Take ownership and responsibility for your communication. If what you say to someone doesn’t communicate accurately what you were hoping, take ownership for that and go again.
Learn mindfulness and meditation.
Take cold showers and ice baths. There is so much to learn from being uncomfortable.
If you have hatred in your heart towards someone else - that is on you. It is not about them. It is about your willingness to allow hatred.
Done is better than perfect.
Discipline is superior to motivation.
An amateur practices until they can play it correctly. A professional practices until they can play it incorrectly.
Live life with a desired breakthrough in mind.
Get really good at clearly defining the problem.
Find problems worth solving.
You have a plan. A time traveler from 10 years in the future appears and tells you your plan failed. Which part of the plan do you think is the one that fails? Fix that part.
To start defining your problems, say out loud “everything in my life is completely fine.” Notice what objections arise.
