Eight lessons to live by.

Number one, remind yourself to see those things we've taught ourselves not to see.

The things that don't directly correlate to money or status or ascension up some social hierarchy.

Underneath those things are what keeps us alive.

Keep our souls lit, our eyes open, our days meaningful.

We don't think we need music to invigorate the soul. We don't think we need music to invigorate the soul.

We don't think we need wind on our face or sand on our feet.

We don't think we need to shut the world off so we can hear ourselves think.

Now we fall into the trap of believing that beautiful is a luxury.

It's not.

It's why we're here.

And it's not about being anti-money or status or whatever your goals are.

But it is about realizing

that those things without beauty and art and nature and calm are empty.

There are plain without wings, lungs without air.

The things we have taught ourselves not to see are the things we need above all else. Number two,

you are stronger than you think you are. You are made to endure, to pave, a path, find a way, rise to the occasion. And we know this when it's easy,

but we forget when it's not. When the world feels stacked against us. When you're writing things,

no one reads, saying things, no one hears, making things no one sees. When you're writing things, no one reads, saying things, no one hears, making things, no one sees.

When you know you have somewhere to go but aren't sure where that is,

no, you need to evolve into something but have no idea what?

This is when you need to know that you have everything you need.
