My Overly Simple Rules for a Good Life
9 rules to live by so you outperform in life.
Rules provide constraints in your life. Constraints help you focus. Focus provides clarity. Clarity helps you take badass actions.
So, I have created these rules in my life. They will inspire you to create a few for yourself.
Be Quiet Most of the Time
There is a lot of noisy attention-seeking. Gain massive attention and then have it taken away. This has happened to me. It taught me that fame and attention is a nightmare.
Be quiet more than you talk. When you do talk, make it worth it. Talk for a small few. Take to 1000 small fans.
Don’t be a Donald (Duck)…. quack, quack, quack, quack. Me, me, me, me.
Quietness is old school self-help.
Read A Lot
Measure the days you have left in the number of books you can read.
Books force you to imagine the images. Movies rob you of that gift. Movies are the heavily curated, edited version of a story. The book is the full story. The book is always better than the movie.
Read a lot to learn through other people’s stories. It’s easier than learning the hard way through failure.
