Have a bias for action. If I can do something in a few minutes, do it now. If I hesitate on things that take little time, I won’t be decisive on things that take a lot of deliberation. Act fast is not as risky as it seems, because I can stop quickly.
Optimism and courage are difficult to maintain, so protect them at all cost. It is easy to doubt. Self-doubt is especially harmful because it provides a circular logic to how everything seems to work.
Serve others. We are capable of giving way more than what we receive. There is nothing to lose by giving more, as the well will overflow with fresh spring.
My happiness comes from peace. Peace with others. Peace with myself.
You don’t need a big audience when you have the right audience.
