Rule of 2:
Only the 2 most recent events are relevant. The current one, because it’s happening now; and the one before it, because it affects expectations.

No one is thinking about you or paying attention. They’re doing what you’re doing; obsessing about themselves.

When walking in a wood, break the branches, tap the syrup, eat the berries and leave no footprints.


Rule of ‘at least half’:
If you truly strive towards completing a goal, you will be at least half successful.


Reversal of niceties:
When conduct rules are senseless, or arbitrary, follow their opposite.


Rule of agreement:
When 2 fundamentally different sources agree on something; it is true.


Throw the first punch:
When something will inevitably happen, you are at an advantage to take the first action.


Aristotle has been dead for mad long:
Moderation isn’t key, it’s a waste. Excess or abstinence are the best choices.


Self awareness:
Self awareness will prolong pleasure.


No one loves you:
They don’t, and can’t, know your true character.


The hard truth:
It is always better to tell the truth, particularly when it causes distress.


Rule of “getting away with it”:
If you are undeserving of a certain pleasure, yet it is available to you, indulge in it thoroughly.

If your life decisions are accompanied with love and support from others, they're probably bad choices. Thoroughly reconsider them.
