Life is like a hurricane.
So this is basically my general outline of life that I might flesh out into a book one day called "How to soar, by not giving a flying fuck." Alot of it probably wont make sense, and might even be a little contradictory, but that's kind of a point into itself.
1: Balance. Everything's got a balance to be kept. Be serious, and smart, but dont forget to be goofy and stupid. Be good AND bad. You can acheive good by doing bad. Bad, but never malicious. It's how I can remain sort of myserious and unpredictable, because my palet is various.
2: Be well rounded, and keep an open mind. You dont have to try and know everything about everything, but a little bit can go a long way. Read whatever you can, and keep an open mind, but stay skeptical. Don't be afraid to question anything, and always remember The String Theory is exactly that, a theory. It doesnt matter how "widely accepted" it is, if you think diffrent, question it, they probably wont be able to prove in the favor of either side.
3: Stand your ground. If you believe in something, you stand your god damned ground. Dont back down ever. Nobody has anymore right to an opinion. Everythings open to interpritation. Time's not the only thing that's relitive, perception itself is. Check out Goodmans Paradox.
4: Self Control. Do what you want, but remember self control. If you wanna drink, go for it as long as you're in control, concious of your actions, and concious
5: Understand Yourself. Look inside yourself, get to know yourself, love yourself. It's the only place youre going to find the answers that really matter. Clear the bullshit, the things that dont matter like how others think of you, or what you own, and get to know the you that thinks, the you that loves music, or dancing, or seweing.
6: Be in the now. The past was better and worse than you remember, the future wont ever be what you expect, so focus on now. How do you feel today, what can you do for someone today. When you're in the now, you're focused, undistraced, and are better because of it.
7: Trust yourself. You can do anything if you want it bad enough. You can make yourself into an unstopable machine by pure determination. How many times do people pull though, and beat the odds? How many doctors have been proven wrong? Fuck what people say, odds might be stacked aginst you, but the smallest chance is a chance. Nothing is more than an armslength away.
8: The Little things. A small flower on the way to work, a good cup of tea, a nice rain, finding a quarter in the couch. The small things are the most important, and paying attention to them will make such a differance to your everyday life. Even if youre locked in a cage, at least you can see the sky through the bars.
9: Perfection. Everything is perfect because of its imperfections. They make variety, which makes infinate possibility. I love imperfections, and I love your imperfections. If you think you've got some extra weight, I love it about you. Lazy eye? I love it about you. Rough times, and feeling vulnerable? I love it about you. Be vulnerable, put yourself out there, let them know you're not afraid of them trying to hurt you, because they can't.
10: Everything is choice/Help People. You are what you think you are, and you arent what you think you arent. You're no less than yourself, which isnt less or more than anybody else. If you dont like a situation, change it. I hope if you dont like yourself or your life, you have the courage to change it, because till people learn the meaning of being selfless, nobody's going to help you. Take the initive be the first to compliment a stranger. Give them a slower, hell just a smile could be all someone needs to make it through the day.
