Seek the things that make you make smile, then smile about them
Find a life so exciting that others cannot help but grin when they think about you
Find money and material items to be some of the least important things on Earth
Love yourself
Let your inner glow, light, madness, and weird-irasity shine
See everyone as perfect at a soul level
Have empathy, or at least, have sympathy
Do little surprises for those you love all the time
Know it is better to be tricked a couple of times in your whole life than to be suspicious all of your life
Dance when your spirit call you to
Know that everyone is a ‘bad dancer’, ‘nervous about public speaking’, ‘afraid to talk to that person’, and could ‘never do that’ even though they’d love to — and then go be the person that shows everyone how awesome life is on the other side of fear
Love animals, nature, and life
Listen to other intelligent opinions
Know your worth, and refuse to spend time with anyone who doesn’t treat you as a magical, beautiful, perfect being
Seek adventure
Always have a beginner’s spirit and a master’s patience
Find the one thing you were put on Earth to do, and do it
Put down the phone when you are already in a room with people you love
Look others in the eye when talking to them
Never make jokes that are cruel
Give your ‘positions of power’ away but keep your strength
Love everyone
Live in the now
Know that you are worth it
Don’t sweat the small stuff
Turn off the TV and talk to others
Be a geek about anything you love
Be kind in words and thoughts, even to those who are cruel — especially to those who are cruel
Don’t steal
Look at life as a blessed, gifted miracle
Release worry
Embrace how awesome you are
Live the life of your dreams
Realize that you need only be and act from your highest, truest self and you will be instantly beloved by those you are meant for — and those who don’t understand and value your perfection you are happy to release to go on their way
Be kick ass
Remember that in a hundred years none of this will matter
