Rules of a Renegade

The more I learn and think about how I want to design my life, the more I believe it is important to write my own rules, have my own set of commandments, my own guiding principles for success.

This list here includes some of the most important ways in which I wish to serve the world. I am sure it will grow and change as I progress. Does anything ring true with you? Anything you recommend to add?

1. If I don’t feel it, I won’t do it.
2. Set (very) clear expectations with everyone.
3. Build my life on truth and all will be okay.
4. Don’t be a slave to striving.
5. Grit, what it takes to persevere, is a combination of gratitude, optimism, self-control, social intelligence, enthusiasm and curiosity.
6. Pros do what they have to do. I choose to go pro.
7. Don’t act on auto pilot.
8. Seek to discover new solutions to sticky, old problems.
9. Slow down a bit. Give myself some more time to complete things in an improved way.
10. Say know. Know what I must do to make the day just 1% better, each day.
11. Don’t try to control what others are doing.
12. Beware of getting caught up in group think – the delusion of the masses.
