I wrote these “rules” just before 2022 began. I will never be perfect; no one is. But I want to strive for excellence after living a half-assed life. This is a list of things I want to keep in mind as I turn my life into something better. It’s a long journey, but what else are we on the earth for, if not to grow, learn, be, and do? I worded these in the third person, but these are really what I hope to implement in my own life. Enjoy!
