Rules for Living

I wanted to share a simple set of rules for living that I’ve personally found incredibly useful. These rules build upon each other in order, and it’s a continual struggle to climb this metaphorical ladder. I constantly slip—I imagine anyone will—but the point is to fall, dust myself off and keep climbing. Let me know what you think!

1. Show up
2. Be present
3. Do your best effort with balance
4. Be as honest with yourself and others with as much kindness as you can muster
5. Let go of the illusion of control
