You're going to lose some fights in life

If you’re going to lose a fight, make sure the other person thinks twice before fighting you again. You're going to lose some fights in life. That's ok, but make sure your opponent remembers the pain they felt in beating you.

No one has ever argued their way to happiness

When someone wants to argue with you, you can either (a) argue back or (b) do literally anything else with your life. Option (b) should always win out.

Don't delay difficult conversations

Treat your body like a house you have to live in for another 70 years. Invest in keeping the foundation and structure sound. A little bit of regular maintenance can go a long way.

The joy of love

Don’t fear sadness, as it tends to sit right next to love. This is part of the fundamental balance and tension of life. The joy of love comes in the same package as the pain of loss.

If tomorrow is never guaranteed

Stop waiting to enjoy the finer things. If tomorrow is never guaranteed, find the time to enjoy them today.
