Rule #1: Be Selfish
You are the only person that you have to spend the rest of your life with.
So be selfish and prioritize yourself.
Tell your friends, family, and co workers “No” when you need to so that you can prioritize your life and your goals.
Accept that being selfish isn’t a bad thing.
You’re SUPPOSED to think that you’re more important than other people.
Because, to you, you are.
This doesn’t mean you can go out and be a complete jackass.
But it does mean that you should feel no shame about taking time for yourself, investing in yourself, and telling other people “no” so that you can focus on yourself.
Rule #2: Never Do With More What Can Be Done With Less
If a project can be finished in one hour, don’t spend two trying to perfect it.
Doing more than is necessary is the ultimate form of laziness.
Learn to maximize your time and energy by putting in the least amount of effort possible to achieve the results that you want.
Rule #3: Your Health is Your Wealth
Never sacrifice your health for anything.
Exercise daily, eat a clean diet, and sleep 8 hours a night.
Money will always be out there. But you’ll never be able to earn that money if you’re chronically sick, injured, or fatigued.
Take care of your health because it is the gateway to a life of abundance.
Rule #4: Live Below Your Means so That You Can Live Any Way You Please
Live below your means and spend less than you earn.
The more diligently that you can save money and build lasting wealth for yourself, the better your life will be in the long term.
As Gary Vee says: Eat sh*t for 2 years so that you can eat caviar for life.
Rule #5: Lifestyle Before Money… But Money Too
Life is meant to be lived, not worked away.
Prioritize your lifestyle over money.
Spend more time enjoying your life, experiencing the world, and building relationships and less time slaving away at the office.
Money IS important and you should try and earn as much of it as possible.
But don’t let your quest to make a living interfere with your ability to have a life.
Rule #6: Love and Laugh without Holding Back
Because life is too short to be serious and closed off to love.
Laugh until it hurts everyday and love without fear of loss.
Those are the two greatest keys to a happy life.
Rule #7: Choose Happiness Now
Choose happiness now. No matter how terrible your life may be, there is always a way to find meaning and happiness even in the midst of terrible suffering.
Choose happiness now and forever and you have achieved success.
