Make up the rules as you go along.
No two rules can be the same.
Adapt.
Accept rules from each player introduced.
Try to capture the flag.
Use any piece of equipment as you see fit to score points.
Get messy sometimes.
Feel crazy sometimes.
Apologize.
Let people know when you are hurt.
Stand up for yourself.
Maybe dodge bullets.
Maybe listen to other people's advice.
But don't lose your own voice.
Don't overthink trivial things.
Let people in.
Let people out.
Juggle all your balls equally ––
Work, family, health, friends, integrity.
Except work.
Work is a rubber ball that will bounce back up if you drop it.
The others are made of glass.
They will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, or even shatter.*
Be smart.
Don't burn bridges.
Smile.
Work hard.
Make a difference.
Work towards a goal.
Shrug at idiosyncrasies.
Color outside the lines.
Agree with your imagination.
If you can dream it, make it happen.
Live on the edge.
Choose with no regret.
Be true to yourself.
Love freely.
Live passionately.
Follow your "what ifs."
Maintain your dignity.
Don't be afraid to change.
Enjoy the journey.
Have the courage to talk about how you feel.
Show up and be seen.
Ask for what you need.
Don't step on other people's toes.
Know when you need to take a time-out.
Take them frequently.
Love yourself.
Let this love spill over to others.
Do your best.
Then do it again.
Never make assumptions.
And don't take things personally.
Own the moment.
Don't get too caught up to enjoy the sunsets.
Never settle.
Always challenge yourself.
Break down barriers.
Dance in the rain.
Sing along to the songs.
Indulge yourself often.
But not too often.
Check every so often that you're headed in the right direction.
Choose your partner wisely.
Help others.
But not if it hurts you.
Laugh.
Learn.
Repeat.
Play nice.
Be the author of your story.
If you get a chance, take it.
Ride the waves.
Keep fighting.
Don't forget to have fun!
