A dog is not considered a good dog because he is a good barker. A man is not considered a good man because he is a good talker.

On any given day, you wake up to certain realities: Things you must do, people you must interface with, costs you must pay.
Make it a point every morning to spend a few moments treasuring your options: Things you want to do, people you want to see, and things you want to spend your money on.
Gliding along trying to catch your options is basically what keeps you facing reality.
Being "rich," or becoming "suddenly rich" has been the downfall of too many people to count; and simply "acting rich" or acting in a manner of detachment is probably the leading cause of unhappiness in this era.
Remain engaged in your life, and appreciate its positive points.
Here are 5 lifestyle goodies:
1) Poop BEFORE you shower - yer butt will be daisy fresh all day. (Yeah, I'm serious about this - it reflects a certain amount of discipline and respect for others...)
2) Never go to bed mad, dirty, or unhappy. The sleep you get will be flawed and it will negatively influence the following day in your life.
3) Put off to tomorrow things which are better done on that day, but don't put off things you don't feel like dealing with - make time to handle issues.
4) Sleep with anyone you like, so long as you both meet each others' criteria - that way, you'll both be happy in a guilt-free way.
5) Never do anything without considering its implications - if you're smart enough to be reading this, you're smart enough to know what I mean. Think things through, avoid speaking or acting in haste.
