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.
