1. Act - action is better than inaction. This includes too much tv and sleep
2. Read - good reading expands your mind and is important to being a good human being.
3. Don’t read - too much. It shuts you off from real life.
4. Be independent -not everyone does or will like you no matter who you are
5. Get a pet - pets will love even when you don't deserve it. This makes life a little brighter
6. Find a life partner –someone who loves you (almost) unconditionally and inspires you to be your best self.
7. Clean your house –this also does not make you a good person, but it does make life easier. Messy does not equal productive
8. Stay healthy -health problems take way more time and energy than they deserve .
9. Be interested in others –even if you have to fake it. It makes people feel better about themselves and you might learn something
10. Raise a child-having kids forces you to grow up.
11. Raise a teenager -having teenagers forces you to admit how old you are
12. Don’t (always) listen to your family -they do not necessarily have your best interests at heart
13. Forgive your parents –they may not always have done the best they could but it’s time to get over it, move on and take responsibility for your own actions. If you can’t do this, get the kind of help that will allow you to
14. Exercise –because you need to (see 9) and it makes you feel way better about yourself and life in general
15. Be productive –busy does not equal productive; know the difference.
16. Change your hair –it lifts your spirits. Hairstyles are like drawings on a chalkboard -if you don’t like yours, change it. If you don’t like your teen’s, shut up. It will change eventually.
17. Get obsessed – find something that takes you outside yourself and makes you joyful. Do it frequently.
18. Be nice - even when no one else is. It does make you a better person and life runs a whole lot more smoothly.
