For me, for you, and for anybody else who needs a list of reminders to follow—in life, in love, and everything in between . . .
- Our self-worth has nothing to do with how many clicks, likes, comments, or messages we receive.
- We’re all human and we’re all being vulnerable by putting our hearts on the line. Treat everyone with the same kindness and respect as we’d like to receive.
- Don’t fear the long road. Good things come to those who show up and remain true to themselves.
- A new message notification is not puppet string. An immediate response is not a requirement—nor is it a sign of like or dislike.
- The goal is to meet new people and make connections. That is all. Trust that the other stuff will fall into place.
- Life is not lived behind the computer screen. Get out and do things you enjoy—or think you might enjoy. Explore. Try. And then try again.
- Smile. Say hello. Make eye contact.
- Make the first move. Strike up conversations. Take the gamble. The real living happens across the line that bounds our comfort zone.
- It’s not just in the doing—but also in the being—that positive, lasting change takes place.
- There is no timetable or growth chart or other measuring stick needed for us to live happy and fulfilled lives.
