Own your time. Speak your mind. Don’t be afraid. Think big things. Do small favors. Take long walks. Read more books. Smile more often. Listen to others. Speak simple words. Think about difficulties. Know their impact. Don’t be careful. Stop being cautious. Don’t over think. Don’t undersell yourself. Don’t overdeliver needlessly.

Have a drink. Make your bed. Polish your shoes. Earn without stress. Exercise without flaunting. Enjoy the moments. Change the bad. Amplify the good. Always try harder. Always plan smarter. Always write longer. Always read longer. Give your time. Take their suggestion. Make your decisions. Don’t explain yourself. Don’t be mysterious.

You’re not money. You’re not gadgets. You’re not paychecks. You’re not spreadsheets. You’re not statistics. You’re a human. Be a human. See the humans. Don’t see divisions. Don’t acknowledge segregations. Be more inclusive. Be more simple. They are human. All are human. It doesn’t matter. Love everyone around. Ignore everyone around. Enjoy being alone. Enjoy being together. Enjoy more often. Enjoy every moment.

Forget about past. Plan for future. Live for today. Don’t worry arbitrarily. Don’t be flippant. Be more attentive. Choose your focus. Stay on it. Ignore everything else. Work for impact. Plan for change. Hope for betterment. Strive for improvement. Have more sex. Have more coffee. Have more laughter. Have more conversations. Don’t be shy. Don’t be overconfident. Don’t fool anyone. Don’t trust blindly.

Read more articles. Read more stories. Write your story. Create your stories. Sing songs often. Learn to compose. Learn to rhyme. Forget about rhyming. Just sing aloud. Hum the tunes. Talk to kids. Listen to them. Play with puppies. Play with kittens. Care for them. Look after them. Travel to Paris. Or to Brazil. Or maybe London. Wherever you want. It doesn’t matter. Just travel, okay?

Change your life. Own your life. Live your life. Rest doesn’t matter. It’s your life. Happens only once. Live it large.
