One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen a lot. Ready to see A LOT more!

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't know sh*t, but here's a few things I've picked up along the way:

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
(This sentiment is found in nearly every major religious text in some capacity, AND I think it's just a loving, logical approach to human interaction.)

Gratitude and love can change everything.

Learn moderation when it comes to the consumption of anything - booze, drugs, food, sex - whatever.
Indulgence can be delicious, but overall moderation in consumption is key for continued and enduring health, pleasure, and positive experiences.

Learn to forgive.

Learn to let go.

If you are a procrastinator, take time out of your busy life and do whatever it takes to CHANGE and effectively ELIMINATE this habit. The power and potential within you is likely to be severely hampered because of it.

Just get out there and enjoy yourself because life is WAY too short not to!
