Stay Away From Dishonest Liars and Other Advice to Live By
My alter ego Tug and I live by a few simple philosophical precepts. Here is the short list:
- Know what you know and know what you don’t know.
- Don’t dabble in matters of significant consequence.
- If you’re a light sleeper and knowingly marry a snorer it’s your fault.
- Own a dog.
- Take the path of least resistance unless it really matters.
- Know your balance and be mindful of change.
- Accept what is.
- If you can’t control “it,” don’t let “it” control you.
- Trust is absolute.
- If you lie, be truthful about it.
- Stay away from dishonest liars.
- Don’t be an annoying phony, there’s no other kind.
- You have the power not to consent.
- Negative energy comes back to its source.
- Don’t harm others.
- You’re not entitled to crap, so lose the attitude.
- Own two dogs.
- Stay in the moment.
- We all profile, but don’t use it to pass judgment.
- Know, acknowledge and embrace your flaws.
- Make your faults known so you don’t disappoint others by being yourself.
- We’re drawn to what is familiar, so make sure whatever that is won’t keep you down.
- Beware of empathic listeners who hug you with their words – they have motive.
- Don’t trap yourself in ambivalent relationships.
- Everything is fair.
- You are how you’ve acted so own your conduct.
- When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
- Own three dogs.
