Values

  • Never kill an animal or eat some animal's meat (as I can't know the conditions it lived its life, most often its horrendous)
  • Support animal welfare in any way I can (i.e. by donating to organizations)
  • Be compassionate to others, try see their point of view always
  • Always follow my daily habits. They are at the core of everything I do.
  • Never waste time. Sort tasks by priority and just do them. One task at a time. Surround myself with people that share my values. Optimize every second.
  • Always be free. Do what I want to be doing, assuming this hurts no one else. Freedom above all, never compromise unless its actually required (especially never compromise on my values).
  • Never get jealous or compare myself to others. Just do better and grow. No one cares about me or how I feel, just focus on being kind & useful.
  • Never complain. Never blame anyone for anything. Simply learn from mistakes and move forward.
  • Send that message. Meet that person. Do not be afraid. It will happen or not, but always reach out.
  • Only obsess over things you have power to get or change. Finalize possible solution. If there is one, go at it. If not, let go forever. Otherwise it will eat me endlessly with no resolution.
  • All failures and rejections are lessons. New info needed to move forward in life. Adjust life/routines/habits/mindset accordingly. No regrets. It's now in the past. You will fail again, fail fast, recover faster.
  • No regrets. Live each day as if it is my last as it may well can be. Maximize impact in all decisions made and do not wait. Act fast but thoughtful always.
  • Play the long game. Just put the work, every day towards each of the goals (task by task). Share the progress. Everything else is noise.
  • Have self worth. Value your time and energy. If someone does not appreciate it or is cold to it, let them go.
  • Try and not burn bridges. Don't say mean things or hurt anyone for no reason.
  • Appreciate the love I am given and the effort put to help me. Always remember and reciperecate. Be thankful.
  • Express genuine feelings and don't be afraid to share them. Don't be afraid to ask for help or be vulnerable.
  • The past is the past. Always. Never dwell on mistakes or regrets. There is always now and the future. Given what you now know. Focus on that. Make the future better. Step by step.
  • The picture I have of how the world is or should work or how certain people feel about me is always different to what reality is. Always test against reality and be real with what results I get. Never live in illusion.
  • Do not spend time thinking about other people's lives. Focus on my own. Never obsess over anyone but my partner.
  • Don't invest time in people that bring no value to my life.
  • Do not have ego. I am good at some things, everyone else is great at other things. No one is better than anybody else. What matters is that they are kind and are curious about what this universe is all about.
  • Do not rush things. Don't assume bad intent or them wanting to ignore me, people have stuff to do. Be fast but thoughtful/respectful in responses/messages and calm/kind above all.
  • If someone is not replying, just kindly ask if things are still in place (ask once), if not, it's ok, no blaming. No one owes me an immediate reply. Never be needy. Always calm. There is abundance of beautiful choices and people in this world.
  • Show love to my partner and never let my frustrations and unhappiness in life fall out on the person closest to me. Always be calm and focus on making each other happy & enjoy each day.
  • Always feel free. If something limits you, be it the relationship or something else, always evaluate each compromise. It's not worth not being free. Always do what you want to do within respectful bounds.
  • Find partner that makes you feel free and gives you no bounds to do what you want to do. Does not mean open relationship. Just means feeling free in every choice you make that there is no judgement or pressure attached to it.
  • Be better always. Every day.
  • Never put myself down. Always be kind to myself first of all. Existing and being kind is already enough for a good life well lived.
  • Do everything according to the plan I have set. Adapt plan accordingly but don't switch directions too often or nothing will get done.
  • Always have a crush on some person. It personally gives me meaning and energy to go after someone I love. If they are a partner of mine, even better.
  • Never compromise to live a better life. Always strive to be better but above all free and respecting the values I have set for myself.
  • Measure and control time. Don't be mindless.
  • Break rules. Don't think in categories, be free.
