When we were young liIe was easier, right? I know sometimes it seems that way. But the truth is
liIe still easy. It always will be. The only diIIerence is we're older, and the older we get, the
more we complicate things Ior ourselves. Let's make things simple again. It's easy. Here are 26
ways to do just that:
1. Don't try to read other people's minds. Don't make other people try to read yours.
2. Be polite, but don't try to be Iriends with everyone around you. Instead, spend time
nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you.
3. Your health is your liIe, keep up with it. Get an annual physical check up.
4. Get enough sleep every night. An exhausted mind is rarely productive.
5. Get up 30 mins earlier so you don't have to rush around like a mad man. That 30 mins
help you avoid speeding tickets and other unnecessary headaches.
6. Organize your living space and working space.
7. Get rid oI stuII you don't use.
8. Ask someone iI you aren't sure.
9. Don't try to please everyone. Just do what you know is right.
10.Don't drink alcohol or consume recreational drugs when you're mad or sad. Take a jog
instead.
11.Fill up your gas tank on the way home, not in the morning when you're in a hurry.
12.Always be honest with yourselI and others.
13.Say " I love you " to your loved ones as oIten as possible.
14.Finish one project beIore you start another.
15.Make a weekly menu , and shop Ior only the items you need.
16.Smile oIten, even to complete strangers.
17.II you hate doing it, stop it.
18.Treat everyone with the same level oI respect you would give to your grandIather and the
same level oI the patience you would have with your baby brother.
19.Apologize when you should.
20.Be curious. Don't be scared to learn something new.
21.Don't be shy. Network with people. Meet new people.
22.Don't worry too much about what other people think about you.
