Rules to live by

Some of the rules I learned from people smarter than me:

IN EVERYDAY LIFE – Don’t take anything personally – most things that seem malicious are better explained by ignorance or self-hatred/anger having nothing to do with you – Recognize that where you are now is just where you are now. History does not equal destiny. Your present state is just a snapshot, a balance sheet of today – Avoid negative, toxic people, and complainers. You are the average of the 5 people  you surround yourself with

IN CRISIS OR DIFFICULT SITUATIONS: – Acknowledge reality –> Make a decision –> Take action – Ask  “what’s good about this?” – Always do the best you can, with what you have, from where you are
