These are the beliefs I live by.

  1. Master myself. Help others.
  2. If it is not a hell yeah, it is a no.
  3. Believe in Evolution. Not in Revolution.
  4. Base goals on Identity. Not on Performance or Appearance.
  5. Rely on Habits, rules, rituals and systems. Not on goals or willpower.

They apply to everything I do including my relationships, friendships, habits, and ambitions.

I learned the first two from Derek Sivers at the end of 2015 and the last two from James Clear at the end of 2013. I chanced upon the third one in July 2013.
