Try hard. Care deeply. Put yourself out there. Don’t be scared of coming up short, it’s how you grow. Be patient. Realize good things tend to take time. Never sacrifice your health. Walk. Run. Lift. Swim. Dance. Cycle. Depression hates a moving target. Ask for help. Help others too. Learn from failure. Learn from success. But also embrace a next-play mentality. The past is in the past. The future is in your imagination. You’ve only got the moment you are in. Stay curious. Never stop learning. Focus on what you can control. Try not to waste energy on what you can’t. Find things that make you feel alive and pursue them relentlessly. Love deeply: people, places, crafts. Build community. Stand up for what you believe in. Be strong. Be kind. Be confident. Be humble. Take the work seriously, but yourself not so much. Don’t wait for everything to be perfect, lest you’ll spend your entire existence waiting. Fall off the path. Get back on the path. Sleep when you are tired. Life is an infinite game. You never know what’s going to happen next. Keep going.
