Advice

A few things I've learned along the way.

Nothing is ever as good or bad as it seems.
Get in great shape.
Drink clean water — there's nothing you'll consume more of in a lifetime.
Get a good mattress and toothbrush. You use them every day.
Eat real food. If your grandma wouldn't know what it is, don't eat it.
Avoid plastic as much as possible.
Sauna — do it as often as possible.
Have zero tolerance for fake friends.
Strong opinions, loosely held. Changing your mind when information changes makes you a high-rung thinker, not a low-rung thinker.
Never trust anyone on the far right or the far left.
Staying angry is a waste of energy.
Use your phone less.
Be spontaneous.
Say yes to strangers.
Don't get offended easily.
Comfort isn't always a good thing. Discomfort isn't always a bad thing.
Tip well.
Be kind to service people.
Be a regular at a least one restaurant.
You'll open more doors smiling than yelling.
If you're in your own head, you're in enemy territory.
Be curious, not judgmental.
At work, how you manage down is a better testament to your character than how you manage up.
Don't overanalyze health. If you're constantly worried about eating the cheesecake, it's worse for you than just eating the cheesecake.
Memento Mori. Remembering you'll be dead one day makes life less serious.
Study the universe. It will make you feel incredibly small and incredibly important at the time.
Not taking risk is a risk.
The grass is greener on the other side because it's fertilized with bullshit.
There will be liars and cheaters in life. Sometimes they'll win. In the long term, they always lose.
You never know what worse luck your bad luck has saved you from.
Feeling like a victim is a perfectly disastrous way to go through life.
The vast majority of people in this world are good. We're hardwired to remember the bad ones. Don't let them ruin it for you.
Never trust a thought you have indoors.
Walk far and often.
Find a hobby — preferably one where you're outdoors and moving.
You can always tell someone to go to hell tomorrow.
The Serenity Prayer sums up life in a single verse.
Do 25 pushups every morning when you wake up.
Do the hardest thing in your day first, always.
Never put off something you can get done today.
Be hard on yourself, easy on others.
Think less, do more.
Always say hi to the pretty girl. The potential for love vastly outweighs any potential embarrassment.
If you have a why you can endure any how.
Always ask. "You miss 100% of the shots you never take" is a cliché for a reason.
Frame is the most important concept in life.
Emotional regulation is the second most important.
If you don't learn to discipline your emotions, your enemies will use them against you.

Don't drink in your 30s without a good reason to.
Avoid mentally ill people in relationships at all costs.
Discipline over dopamine is usually the right call.
Be truth-seeking above all else, even when the truth is difficult.
Don't blindly trust what you read. Most of it isn't true. This is 100% true if the story doesn't quote both sides.
On that point, be familiar with the Gell-Mann Amnesia Effect.
In every room you walk into, do the 2 C's: give someone a compliment, and find something in common.
Helping others is the most important thing you can do in life.
If you want to cheer yourself up, cheer someone else up.
The purpose of life is to live a life of purpose.
Thinking life should be fair is a childish expectation.
The answer is usually somewhere in the middle.
Almost all of life can be explained by incentives.
This too shall pass.
Everything works out, always.
