Posits for better living

1. Eat more plants
2. Sustenance is essential to feeling good about yourself
3. Drinking coffee–it’s not as bad as they say–is a beautiful way to start your day
4. Organize everything into lists: groceries, ideas and people
5. How you look in the morning is far less important than how you feel
6. Try to make time to watch the sunrise or sunset
7. Listen to music regularly if you can–it’s your exploration to uncharted territory, renewal, and hope
8. Cook for your friends, it could be a gateway into their lives
9. Live in a city different to the one you were born in—if possible in another country
10. Try not to explain everything, they’ll either understand or not
11. Creativity is required more than rationality; the world needs beauty
12. This very moment, right now, is perfection
13. Done well, utility becomes the art
14. Build a universe, not a product or a service
15. Delineate ideas and thoughts into systems to help with execution
16. Set forth the mistakes of the past, to inform the present
17. Iteration is sometimes better than returning to zero, but the latter could lead to actualization
18. The best experiment to conduct is the one on yourself (n=1)
19. Buy things from people with stories, they’re less likely to exploit
20. Solitude is the antidote to suppressed emotions
21. Be the hope and pursuit of good in this world
22. Contrarian opinions are what affords us the chance to dream
23. Create your own meaning, then use agency to live it
24. Enjoy the seasons—Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring—neither is better or worse
25. Fatigue and pain are the body’s feedback loop for authenticity
26. Become anti-fragile … facilitate growth through stress
27. Surround yourself with kind people, but principally, become one yourself
