Principles

1.) Not lying is the best choice to make in every situation.

2.) Do not soil your character. (In the end it’s all you’ve got.)

3.) The best goal to take on in life is one which is in service of the self-transcendent and helps to reduce human suffering wherever possible.

4.) Humility, gratitude, empathy, compassion, love, forgiveness and presence are real-life superpowers.

5.) Don’t sacrifice the future stupidly for the present. (Play the “long game”.)

6.) Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient.

7.) In all your actions make sure the intent is to tilt the world closer to heaven and not hell. And take appropriate action to that end, even when you are afraid to.
