Because there is some order in chaos, and some chaos in order.
Bold text by me. The ones marked are the ones I strive to follow every day.
- Own the morning
- Only focus on what’s in your control
- Don’t suffer imagined troubles
- Treat success and failure the same
- Just do one thing every day
- Make beautiful choices
- Constantly ask, “is this necessary?”
- Love your fate
- Speak with the dead
- Be strict with yourself and tolerant with others
- Turn obstacles upside down
- Remember: you are dying every day
Rule 3 is very powerful. Next time you are feeling stressed or anxious, repeat: stay in the now, focus on what you can control.
