Simple Facts to Succeed at Life

1. Be confident. Even if you do not feel confident, fake it. You can get away with anything if you look like you know what you are doing, are calm, and act like you belong.

2. Don't spend money on stuff. Things that don't add to your life experiences are just going to own you.

Language Warning!

3. If you do marry (you don't have to) make sure the other person is worth all the hard work it will take to live with them. All marriages are hard work. Sometimes the hard work is keeping your mouth shut. Sometimes it means speaking up when you don't want to. It should always have proper boundaries.

4. Find something you can do well AND enjoy doing enough that you wont get tired of doing it repeatedly for 40 years. If you do what you love you will never work a day in your life. Too many people try and do what they want, but stink at it or get burned out. If you are not amazingly lucky enough to find such a job that doesn't already have a 300 people waiting line, then remember one simple fact. GAMES are just WORK you ENJOY. Playing video games, collectible card games, WOW, whatever, is you PAYING to WORK. So it had better be worth it. And don't do something you are good at for free. Just don't strive to be good at something everyone else can do.

5. Unwritten rules are holding back most of humanity from enjoying their lives.

“Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.”

Talking to strangers is awesome sometimes, going for a run in the rain is a blast, and yelling goofy things at the top of your lungs is cathartic. If it is legal, and doesn't hurt anyone else, and especially doesn't hurt yourself in any way.

6. I can't believe I have to say this. Don't be a d***head or a b***h. It is easy to do if you think you are better than others. It is easy to think you are better than other if you have excuses for your actions. It is easy to have excuses for your actions if you don't think sin exists. It is easy to think sin doesn't exist if you don't think God exists. It is easy to think God doesn't exist if you don't want to be held accountable for your actions. And thus the cycle completes. 

7. Anger is not bad. It is a tool. It tells you something is wrong. Figure out what is wrong before you act on any anger. If you can do that you are ahead of most of the world.

8. WORK OUT! No ripped guy or toned girl had low confidence.

Also, endorphin's. Also, best excuse to watch TV. Also, It can be easy for even nerds.

9. Live like an actual Christian. This means Church more than twice a year, loving your neighbor, and letting the Holy Spirit change you after you have accepted Christ as your savior. It's a slow process, but God has much more patience for you than you ever will.
