15 Rules You Can't Argue With

Occasionally a person reaches a point in life where they feel like they’ve learned a lot about living and had enough experiences to know a few things. That usually comes before a massive crisis where they realize they know nothing about anything and in fact, their knowledge of life only makes them realize how little they know. I recently turned 21 and am feeling that young, brazen confidence that I know all there is to know about life and love. I’ve concluded that I should take advantage of this knowledge as I sit on the cusp of a crisis, “ therefore, I’ve written down everything I’ve learned about life before the inevitable crash comes. Here is my complete and exhaustive list of things to do to lead a successful life on Planet Earth.”

therefore, I’ve written down everything I’ve learned about life before the inevitable crash comes. Here is my complete and exhaustive list of things to do to lead a successful life on Planet Earth.
  1. Water is life. Drink it. Jump in it. Float on it. 

2. Carrying a water bottle with you everywhere you go is a sign of maturity. Do it and don’t freeload off of others’ water bottles. 

3. Exercise first thing in the morning.

4. Don’t let your mind wander too long in what could be.

5. Pick up a book instead of picking up your phone.

6. Don’t listen to the same song too many times.

7. Sleep is good, but don’t let it get in the way of other good things.

8. The only way to get a difficult thing off your to do list is to do it. 

9. Naps ruin lives. Sleep at night, not in the middle of the day.

10. A shower and a clean face make a lot of problems shrink to their actual size.

11. Watch out for sodium.

12. Being late is a habit, not a lifestyle. You can change a habit. Don’t make people wait on you.

13. Hurry is a joy killer. Slow your life down so that you can drive slow and still be punctual.

14. There is no point in arguing about what tastes good. Don’t argue about food.

15. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths.
