Do  

More than anything, this is a note to self; my personal recipe for happiness.
It is, and probably always will be, a work in progress!

Test everything for yourself before you blindly take advice.

Work hard, play hard – just don’t half ass both. Don’t spend your life pretending you’re too busy for friends and family.

Spend your effort making your strengths stronger rather than improving your weaknesses.

Do things. Trouble figuring out what, exactly? Don’t pick based on ‘what you love’ or ‘are passionate about’. That’s too abstract. Imagine what you’ll regret not trying when you’re 80. Then do it.

Have blind faith in trying over and over and knowing you’ll get to success. Why does it always take a million failures first? Who knows but that’s reality.

If you starve yourself of enjoyment until the end, you’ll never be happy. The journey is everything.

Make as much of daily life routine as possible. The clothes you wear, the meals you enjoy, personal budgets – figure it out once and set on auto. It’ll make your life more exciting, not more boring. You’ll have more mental cycles left over for the fun stuff, the people around you and your life’s work.

Know this fact: willpower is finite. Motivation won’t get you to all your goals – putting in the time to set up habits for success, will. You don’t need ‘more motivation’ or ‘more inspiration’ when you’re stuck. You just need to spend the time, now, figuring out the habits that cause you to be productive.

Work out everyday.

Getting paid for something you enjoy doing is worth more than any salary that asks you to do otherwise.
