Good stuff
I would add: learn a musical instrument.
Great list, most people can take a lot of good from this. However, I’m going to disagree with the “don’t hold grudges”, I get it takes energy from your life, but there are people who should be removed from your life, career, etc, and sometimes you can’t just cut ties, so holding the grudge will remind you why they got put in the corner.
Ah this list is cool but life isn’t movie simple and we’re all just trying our best to get through. I do quite a lot already of these
I’d summarise this list as “be kind, be curious and don’t stop learning” which is pretty amazing advice.
If you’re nice some people will think you’re weak and try to take advantage. Their shallow mindset might give them the advantage in the short term. Don’t let that put you off. In the long term you’ll go far further and be far happier than they do.
>Be friends with the cleaners, gardeners, security guards, cashiers, etc. Ask their names, ask about their day. They have a hard life. Make them feel better. Let them know you care.
Oh, the rich people CARE about LITTLE OLD ME! I’m going home to tell my spouse about the amazing dude who said hi!!!!!

Condescending jerk…
This isn’t a LPT. This is you telling people how to live their lives.
And always look on the bright side of life !
I love this list. Thanks for sharing
This is the same shit you find in every self help book written by so called gurus that prey on gullible people.
Put your hands together for captain obvious!
Isn’t this just normal behavior?
Are you dying or what?
So try to get into The Good Place?
THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!
They just got engaged guys. If you’ve got nothing nice to say: 💨
I feel like I’ve seen this list on posters being sold at Target.
That’s exactly it.
Are the best parts of life really just finding momentary distractions to keep yourself busy so you think about the harsh realities of life for a second?
I can ride roller coasters, meet new friends, and spend time with my family all day long.
It doesn’t change the fact that the Sun is just going to explode, and all this was for nothing.

I appreciate that these are tips in general. Far too many LPTs are just peoples uninformed opinions.
It’s funny I do most of these I believe. I truly think my mom raised me well. BUT, being a sociopath, like my brother, gets you far in life.
I grew up well, so I had the ability to appreciate these things. But think about a terrible neighborhood for a growing child. It’s not up to them, they are automatically surrounded by the anger and hate of those around them. I think a lot of what you say needs almost a life time to appreciate. One has to experience hate, a lot of it (if they are not a sociopath and empathetic) in order to recognize love. Ying and yang.
What new adventure in life are you to embark upon? Sorry if that’s poor grammar.
This is good advice, but I feel like it falls into the usual trap of easier said than done. We all know how to be a great man, but actually doing it is something else.
1) make money
2) be nice
3) make money
Simple.
I grew up singing, now it makes sense.
This is all solid life advice. Thank you for sharing.
So every self helf book ever? Every utopian society idealism ever? These are garbage tips on how to be miserable. Reminds me of annoyingly positive attitude in professional environment that are 0% real.
Good list of 12 non LPT
Don’t sweat about things that are out of your control.
I love all of this!
Good advice. I saw some familiar stuff that wise people from place to place have mentioned. One that popped to mind was Moondogs Do Your Thing, which has some of the wisest lyrics I have heard.
“Do your thing!
Be fancy-free to call the tune you sing
Don’t give up!
That’s not the way to win a loving-cup
Do your best
And Opportunity will do the rest
Don’t give in!
Capitulation is the greatest sin
Do what’s right
What’s right for you, to do with all your might
Don’t regret!
What might have been, you might as well forget
Stand your ground
And while you’re standing there, be duty-bound
Learn to wait
And while you’re waiting, learn to concentrate
Make amends!
All enemies I call potential friends
Calm your fears
And hope to cope at least a hundred years
Make your mark!
If need be, even make it in the dark
Mum’s the word!
My sage advice, pretend you haven’t heard “
I remember sitting in a long line a McDonald’s once. When I got the window, I asked how his night was going. And no shit, dude almost in tears said “No one ever asks how my night is going, thank you so much.” I know it’s south Florida at a random McDonald’s. I’m genuinely a social person and genuinely care, just didn’t expect that reaction. It’s true was OP says, a little compassion for other folks can completely change someone’s night or day. It cost me nothing, but meant everything to them.
You forgot about wearing sunscreen.
I know someone who did all that. And now nearing the end of their life, having helped others; been kind to others; not allowing themselves to be lauded for their achievements- they live alone, broke, not remembered.
A wonderful, gentle soul who is intelligent, witty, classy and has done so much- says their life is hollow now.
One thing that I find interesting is that if you tell people that most of what you said is in the Bible they would most likely get upset.
You talk a big game but do you walk the walk? Yeah, every body think they gangsta until the blue eyes show up. Deadass
I would add, undestand the importance of practicing discipline. Because otherwise you will forever be a slave to your own mind. It will literally help you with everything in life. Anything you want to accomplish requires discipline i.e setting aside your emotions in order to do what is needed.
