---Embrace life.
Fully embrace every part of it – in good times, as in bad times. There’s always hope. There’s always a lesson to be learned. There’s always a game to be made of it. There’s always room to have some stupid fun.

---Be a little less certain of yourself.
Most things are way more complex than they seem. Be open to hear about other perspectives – and try to understand them. This grows wisdom, emotional strength and intelligence, …., and more.

---Forgive.
Forgiveness is for yourself. Rejecting forgiveness is like drinking poison, expecting it to kill the other person.

---Be gracious.
Frustration is a child of the own incompetence to meet inadequacy with grace. Being gracious sets free from pressure and brings forth life.

---Take care of your heart.
Taking care of the self is no egoistic behavior – it is a necessity to be the best you that you can be for others.

---Be the change you wish to see.
The only place in which you have full control over change is you. Knowing who you are will naturally affect what surrounds you. If things don’t work, look at what you do. Repetitive action that doesn’t lead to change is part of the problem.

---Be thankful.
When you can read this, you already have a whole lot to be thankful for. Thankfulness leads to contentment, contentment leads to patience. Thankfulness births inner peace.

---Happiness is found in a thorough worldview.
First, there are three tests that a worldview must pass. It must be:
1. logically consistent – Its teachings cannot be self-contradictory.
2. empirically adequate – Its teachings must match what we see in reality.
3. existentially relevant – Its teachings must speak directly to how we actually live our lives.
Second, each worldview must address the following four ultimate questions:
1. origin – Where do the universe and human beings come from?
2. meaning – What is the meaning or purpose of life?
3. morality – How do we know what is right and what is wrong?
4. destiny – What happens to us after we die?
Third, there are five academic disciplines that must be employed to study a worldview:
1. theology – the study of God
2. metaphysics – the study of what is ultimately real
3. epistemology – the study of how we can know things
4. ethics – the study of moral right and wrong
5. anthropology – the study of what and who humans are
