2. Status is overrated.
3. Be generous to others.
4. Give yourself space and adequate sleep.
5. Don’t listen to people who misunderstand you.
6. Be present, not just productive.
7. Expect good things to take time.
8. Follow things that edify you.
9. Be a visionary.
10. Be a positive force.
11. Test your worldview by exploring it deeper.
12. Life is beautiful.
13. Always forgive.
