Simple Rules

I can’t remember where I gleamed this, but the sticky note has been sitting on my desktop for at least six months now.  I’ve edited it over time, boiling it down to the essential.  A little silly, but it certainly puts things in perspective for me when I’m feeling uninspired.

• Consider everything an experiment
• Find something to trust and then trust it for a while
• There are no wins, mistakes, or failures - there is only Make
• Be happy whenever you can be
• Don’t try to create and analyse at the same time, they are different processes
• The only rule is work

And to complement my little self-help exercise, here’s a linear pathological flowchart:

Thoughts -> Words -> Actions -> Habits -> Character -> Destiny.

Again, it’s goofy common sense that I think most of us too often forget.
