I found this list of (68!) lessons from 2006 and was amazed at how many could be in my list (if I had such a list). So here's a somewhat condensed, somewhat edited, "best of" according to me:
1. Health comes first.
2. Press the off button.
3. Drink more water.
4. Change venue often.
5. Breathe.
6. Write on day one, edit on day two.
7. Age only matters if you’re a cheese.
8. Establish and defend your boundaries.
9. Honor yourself in every thought and action.
10. Inspiration comes unannounced. Pay attention.
11. No one is important enough to make you angry (this was in my fortune cookie).
12. Tell your friends that you love them more often.
13. Smaller, more frequent feedings.
14. Eat when you're hungry, stop before you're not.
15. A person will act cruel or mean to you because: (a) he thinks you don’t like him, (b) he feels threatened by you, (c) you did something to upset him, or (d) he’s an asshole to everybody. Anyway, it's about him, not you.
16. You can only work a job that sucks for so long.
17. Pay attention to the road.
18. Get more massages (or pedicures).
19. 8 words or less.
20. Is what you’re doing right now consistent with your #1 goal?
21. It's interaction, not interruption.
22. Marketing and dating is the exact same thing.
23. Kindness and/or exercise solve just about everything.
24. The best work is not always (ever?) linear.
25. Travel minus plans = magic.
26. Authenticity delivers the best results.
