Step 1
Practice Living In Love - “Am I making this decision out of love?”

my opinion:
Unfortunately the practicality of certain decisions require you to sometimes decide against “love.” ex. You may not “love” what your doing as a profession and want to attempt a change. However the fact that the economy is what it is, you may want to make a cognitive, rather than emotive decision.

Step 4
Live Each Day As If It Were Your Last - “Don’t worry about what people think…in fact who really cares what people think.”

my opinion:
To a certain degree, you should care what people think. Perception is key; and not just in a business model. Many people have a proclivity of making mistakes and then using “I don’t care what people think” as a veil over those mistakes. Think about what you do and the impression that you give off. I’m not saying to conform to certain norms or to dramatically alter your personality; also, don’t become an iconoclast just to be a nonconformist. Hopefully this isn’t your last day. Live like you have a goal to reach and that you’ll be around to reach it. That goal, and intelligence, will leave a positive impression on those around you.

Step 5
Try Not To Judge

my opinion:
Impossible. It’s not only the society in which we live, but it could also be human nature to judge. We judge each others political views, intelligence, beauty etc. Don’t allow your judgments to become a prejudice or blind you from holistically viewing the situation/person/world etc.

People will rarely say “That’s their journey.” In the same vein as that suggestion, then we must rid ourselves of offering or giving advice. Since advice is solely based on our own journeys, then they become void to someone else.

These are just my opinions and I’m sure that I’ll take a verbal/written beating on a few, if not all of them.
