1. We all start out wholly and completely incompetent, and then we start to grow in endless ways. We learn who we are are and who we want to be. This process will change again and again, and that’s a good thing. Be open. Stay open. Change is our calling.

2. Learn to love this process. It’s what we’re here for.

3. Eat when you’re hungry. Sleep when you’re tired.

4. What we see in life is impacted heavily by where we’re standing. Get out of your own way and look past yourself. There’s a lot of magic in the world once you learn to see beyond your own nose.

5. Everyone likes a little nuzzling. Don’t close yourself up.
