Two or three times a year, set aside four days, away from work, family, and technology, to check in with yourself, gain perspective, daydream, and evaluate your life.

Having less stuff is great. You will have fewer things to clean, maintain, fix, pay for, worry about, and obsess over. Best of all, the less you have, the more space and freedom you have. The more freedom you have, the easier life becomes. And the easier life becomes, the more pleasurable it can be.

s far as the Law of Attraction and your power vision go, once you’ve come up with what you want to manifest, don’t worry too much about how it’s going to happen. Instead, put in regular effort doing your envisioning.

When we’re constantly stuck in our screens, we’re missing out on what’s happening around us and within us.

One of the things that I believe defines kindness is making others feel important. And one of my big pet peeves in life is speaking badly of other people. I’m a big proponent of—“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” If you want to start showing kindness, simply do not say anything negative about anyone.

You need to allow yourself at least one or two grand extravagances in your life. Not extras, I’m talking big enchilada extravagances. If you have a dream item, one you’ve always wanted—a fancy car, a vacation home, a luxurious trip—if you can afford it, go for it. You need to get it out of your system, love it, and then move on with life.

Some misers never spend, saving everything because they think they’ll live forever. On the other end are the wasters, who believe they’ll die tomorrow, so they might as well spend it all today. They’re both wrong. Many people have become rich by living poorly while others have become poor by living richly. But there is no need to go to extremes. You can be extra without breaking the bank, and you can preserve the bank by not being extravagant.

What I call “power vision” is the powerful effect that comes from visualizing something that you want to happen, believing in it, practicing that visualization, and then—shazam!—like a superpower, it becomes true. All you have to do is imagine what you want, envision it, and believe.

There is a caveat to pursuing pleasures: never do so at the expense of others. Your pleasures should never harm others. Never hurt another person’s feelings or dignity. As in all things, pursue your pleasures with class.
