To my future child,
Over the years I have collected a lot of advices and kept the ones that are quite useful. Here are some simple rules so you can navigate the boring stuff of life and enjoy the less boring parts of it.
I hope that they will help you and that you may add some more to them, pass them along so people you care about will enjoy life with you, because a life in solitary and with no one to share what you know with, is a life not well lived.
Try to create free content around your work that other people can get value of.
Never ever be with someone that is jealous, needy or a stalker.
Find your mission and stick to it. That might be creating a family or any other cause. Pick one and make it your main focus. There are also other things that you will encounter around your mission, evaluate them but don't go down the rabbit hole.
Remove multiple alarms from your phone. When you wake up have the willpower to get up on your own. Be the one that is in control, not the alarm.
Never try to strike a deal with someone you find morally indignant. If you gut thinks that this person is no good, trust it, it usually is right.
If you are successful at one thing, then more opportunities will come your way. You will meet more people and more people open even more doors for you which lead to the manifestation of more opportunities.
If you want to create something that will last for a long time, target something that will work today and would have worked also 30 years ago.
Learn from your children as soon as possible, they may have a different angle on stuff than you, which is always helpful.
Go out in the world and do what you are good at and your mind will be fully focused.
Do not wander around asking what the meaning of life is, great philosophers have yet to answer that question. Turn that question around and go ahead and live your life by giving meaning to it.
