Rules to Cultivate a Life Worth Loving
In no particular order:
Grow your hair out, at least once in your life
Fall in love, over and over again, so you know how it feels to live life in love. When you meet the one, strive to create that feeling every day
Always be open to possibilities
Say ‘Yes’ to everything, at least once
Connect with strangers on a regular basis
Do at least one good thing every day
Learn to love to cook, for yourself and others
Create a playlist that you can go back to at any time
Be minimal. Everything of yours should serve a purpose
Go into nature by yourself. Glamping is NOT allowed, unless it’s a unique experience
Go into nature with others
Host people at your place
Travel, as minimally as possible. Get lost in another country
Find the most authentic version of yourself. Love that person. Inauthenticity breeds inauthenticity, contempt, and general dislike
Do not get involved with people who aren’t in the process of doing the above
Only compete with yourself. You are the highest barometer of your own success
Practice contentment. Everything, ultimately, will be OK
Be kind, but fair, to yourself. Don’t blame others for your mistake. Own it, grow from it, and don’t make the same mistake twice
