1) Discover your purpose. Know that you’re alive for a reason. Find your passion. Don’t be afraid to live it out.
2) Life is happening. Live it now. Do not wait for perfect conditions. They will not come. Make a plan. Make it happen.
3) Be someone you want to spend your life with. If you find something you don’t like, change it.
4) Exude generosity. In relationships. At the grocery store. In long lines at the state fair. At a stoplight.
5) Be both respectful and respectable.
6) “Fake it till you make it” is a real thing. Sometimes you just have to. Deal with it.
7) Choose joy. In every circumstance, find the positive, dwell in that place. You and your surroundings will be much better off.
8) Do it. You will likely regret the things you said ‘no’ to rather than the things you tried.
9) Travel far and often. It’s amazing how the world can get so large and so small all at the same time.
10) Have a heart of gratitude. Show it.
11) Apologize. Admit your mistakes, take ownership and fix it. Still, apologize.
12) Be positive. Moods and attitudes are more contagious than Ebola. Have an attitude worth dying for.
13) Allow yourself to be coachable. Nobody is the best at everything and that is ok.
14) Laugh at yourself. Embrace your quirks.
15) Never stop learning. Always have a book your reading or a trade you’re learning.
16) Be intentional.
17) Go out of your way to show people you care.
18) Comparison is a cruel, hateful thing. Just don’t.
19) Run from evil. You cannot conquer it, do not try.
20) Be real. Letting people in is actually a good thing. We were created to be in community, embrace it.
21) Take care of yourself. Nobody else will do it for you.
22) Be a good steward of more than money. Be aware of how you spend your time and energy.
23) Spend time with the Creator. Daily.
24) Get comfy with nature.
25) Set goals. Make a plan. Discover your strengths and weaknesses. Utilize them. Achieve success.
