Things I would say to my 20-year-old self:

1. Breath

2. Wake up early

3. Stand up straight

4. Move

5. Smile

6. Watch a funny show

7. Get a dog

8. Take a long drive

9. Connect with people

10. Connect with nature

11. Don’t just test your limits. Create new limits. Aspire for self-transformation by trying on the values that you would hope to one day possess. All growth is on the other side of the resistance.

12. Mood follows action

13. Try. If you fail, great! Most won’t even try.

14. Go after contentment. Happiness is an emotion. Contentment is a state. Pursue contentment and happiness will then come, as a side effect.

15. A wise man once said nothing. Sit. Take stock.

16. Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Hume, Camus, Sarte, Kant, Spinoza

17. Nostr - that’ll be the way
