3. Believing in common measures of success (money, position,<br />

family) is believing in a ready-made lunch box of<br />

meaning that society is opening up and shoving down<br />

your throat. WHo CAReS. Figure out what success is<br />

for yourself and then just focus on pursuing that.<br />

4. You are in your twenties, so be prepared to witness some<br />

epic personal collapses of those whom you are currently<br />

envious of.<br />

5. You can't do anything besides what you can do. If you're<br />

giving it your all and staying focused on your values, then<br />

your life is progressing exactly as it should be. Did you<br />

hear that? eXACTLY AS IT SHoULD Be.<br />

6. When you have an episode of crippling self-doubt, picture<br />

each doubt as a single sheet of paper. Then crunch all<br />

of them together and throw them into the toilet of your<br />

mind. now angrily kick-flush that toilet with your foot.<br />

7. Actively work to express gratitude for what you do have<br />

every morning. The happiest people I know are full of<br />

gratitude, and they are profoundly in touch with their innate<br />

talents.<br />

8. Before you read number nine, think of at least one person<br />

who thinks you're awesome. Try to think of yourself as<br />

that person does.<br />

9. Isn't the universe so vast, so deep, so incredibly amazing?<br />

Who could possibly worry about a thirty two hundred dollar<br />

difference in salary when there are stars supernova-ing<br />

right this very minute?<br />

10. It's a marathon, not a sprint. near the finish line, you'll<br />

realize you've only been racing against yourself.<br />
