Investing the lessons....................

 ...............of the past into the future.  Tony Isola offers 41 hard-earned tips for living the examined life.  Here are a handful:

1. Embrace impermanence. Clinging is the root of all suffering. Everything changes, and there’s nothing you can do about it.
2. Read books. Paper ones. Stop reading books that don’t interest you and reread the ones that do.
3. Give at least one sincere compliment every day. The only thing people remember about you is how you made them feel.
4. Try to go for a daily 45-minute nature walk. Make sure you wave or say hi to strangers along the way.
5. Comparison is the enemy of happiness. Compete with yourself, not others.
6. Tribalism makes the world smaller and meaner. Open your mind to new viewpoints.
7. Learn to say I don’t know – a lot.
8. Ignore the iron laws of compounding at your peril. Compound your wealth, health, and emotional well-being.
