Slow DownUrgency and haste instantly diminish accuracy, awareness and happiness. There is a big difference between getting things done and getting things done effectively.

Appreciate Life's Simple PleasuresThe best things in life are free. From a quiet lakeside sunset to sleeping in on a rainy day, life's greatest simple pleasures can only be purchased with mindful awareness.

Foster and Nurture RelationshipsA happy, fulfilling life is a life shared with family and friends.

Be Self SufficientFreedom is the greatest gift. Self sufficiency is the greatest freedom.

Concentrate on Your PassionsTrue wealth comes naturally to those who are passionate about their endeavors.

Travel to Distant PlacesThere are places in this world that will open your mind to realities you've never imagined in your wildest dreams. These realities will inject your conscience with healthy, new perspectives.

Talk to StrangersQuite simply, this is how you will meet great people.

Exercise Your 5 SensesSight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. Each provides a gateway to rewarding personal experiences.

Be Clear on Your GoalsYou will never get where you want to go if you don't know what you want.

Educate Yourself on the FactsIgnorance is only bliss in a vacuum. In the real world you will eventually be confronted with the facts, and by then it may`be too late. Be aware of reality, get your facts straight and make educated decisions.

Think More, Talk LessThe more you think and the less you talk, the more you will learn and the less you will miss.

Own Up to Your ActionsEither you own up to your actions or your actions will ultimately own you.

Keep Your PromisesNot doing so guarantees loneliness and failure.

Always Find the Positive LessonEvery negative outcome holds a positive lesson. Finding it is the key to greatness.
