Life's Little Rules

Over the years, I've come up with various rules for living my best life. Some I thought up, some I stole borrowed from elsewhere. Here's some of them.

  • An it harm none, do as ye will.
  • The one thing you truly have is yourself.
  • Always be ready to fight for what's right.
  • Never eat popcorn while doing a jigsaw puzzle.
  • Sometimes, to put yourself back together, you must fall apart first.
  • Words define you and the world around you. Always use words that are true, lest they become true.
  • If you don't know the answer, "I don't know" is an honest answer.
  • Foster an indomitable spirit.
  • An empty room is full of potential.
  • It doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be better.
  • The path to success is paved with failure.
  • Staying up late and getting up late makes me happy, healthy, and late.
  • It's never wise to use someone who's walking past as a garment rack.

I could swear I had a bunch more floating around in my head. If I remember any of them, I'll add them later. I'd like to see other people's rules.

    Besides picking and choosing your battles, I don't think there is much left to add to your list. Oh, maybe the don't eat yellow snow one...

  • Both are important things to remember.

    Also: If you don't take care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else.

  • 💯 great list. Maybe I’ll think of something to add

    1) Never eat at a place called Mom's.
    2) Never play cards with a guy named Doc.
    3) Never sleep with anyone who has more troubles than you do.

  • Also never play cards while wearing mirrored sunglasses.

  • There are two sides to honesty. One side is someone telling the truth. The other side is someone who can believe and accept the truth.

    When all around is dark, even a small candle feels like a great light.

  • You shouldn’t drink water considering all the disgusting things fish do in it.

    If you smile when you are alone, then you really mean it.

  • Don't eat the yellow snow and don't go where the Huskies go.

  • Don't look for a job, build a career.

  • Always spend less than you ern.

  • In honor of Dr Ruth who died today at age 96:

    When asked what sexual act was the most unconventional she responded:

    “What’s wrong with peanut butter or new uses for onion rings as long as there’s a relationship?”

    OMG, Dr. Ruth, she taught me so much - I will forever be grateful to her and her direct no-nonsense wisdom.

    Many life lessons that I learned because of her…

    (Edited because no one wants to hear my personal rant lol)

  • I heard this on youtube a while back. “You can choose to be superman” seems fitting.
