Choose a star and journey towards it. You might ask, ‘Which star?’. The answer is, ‘It doesn’t matter’. If you are moving, you are defeating entropy. Entropy, the second law of thermodynamics, is always there to get you. Don’t let it get you.
Every day, ask yourself, ‘What stupid things am I doing that I should stop?’
Ask and ye shall receive an answer. Stop doing those stupid things. Do this daily and your life can be repaired beyond your imagination.
Don’t compare yourself to other people. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday. Improve upon your shortcomings. That’s how you keep getting better with each day. Soon you’ll like what you see in the mirror.
Assume responsibility. Things go wrong in life often. Assume as if you have something to do about that. Then you can work towards being better prepared when things go wrong again in the future.
Be humble. You are nowhere near as cool as you could be. Open your eyes and look for areas for improvement. Listen to other people as if they have something important to teach you.
Sacrifice. Clinging to your ideas is what makes you stale and stops you from growing. You have to die a little to be reborn as a better person.
Don’t lie. Especially to yourself. You’re easier to deceive than you think. It creates great suffering when someone fools themselves.
Do all of this poorly. Don’t aim for perfection in the first go. Even when you’re doing just an assignment, do it poorly at first. You can always improve what you’ve made. But trying to be perfect in the first go will paralyze you with fear of failure.
And last but not the least, clean your bloody room bucko!
