An Incomplete Manifesto For Life/Things I Have Learnt About My Life So Far #1

1. Be prepared for good luck.

If you are always prepared for good luck, it'll always find a way of happening to you.

2. Breathe.

Slowly.  In and out.  By breathing slowly, the craziness in your brain will slow down and get closer to the original impulse/truth of the thought.

3. Always be open.

Talk to people on the tram.  People can surprise you in the most delightful of ways.

4. The first idea is not always the best idea.

But go with it anyway.  And breathe.  It might lead you on to the one that's masked by the first.

5. Let go.

Breathe through late night lightning bolts.  Things that are interesting will keep coming back.

6. Keep digging.

Keep digging to find the kernel.  And the discoveries you make around the digging will help create deepen and define that thought.

7. The best things develop slowly over time, have much time and detail invested in them, and are more satisfying.

Oh boy, yes they are.

8. Have faith.

Trust yourself.

9. Worrying is not useful.

Breathe.  Then make a change.

This is highly incomplete but for the moment will have to do.  My brain hurts lots.
