SOME RULES TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER AT EARLY STAGE
1. Make your bed every day, even if itโs right before you get in it.
2. Donโt wear holey underwearโฆin case youโre in an accident and they cut your clothes off.
3. Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.
4. Itโs okay to cry when youโre hurt. Itโs also okay to smash (some) things; but, wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when youโre done. You donโt belong down there.
5. If youโre going to curse, be clever. If youโre going to curse in public, know your audience.
6. Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.
7. Just because you can, doesnโt mean you should.
8. 5-second rule. Itโs just dirt. There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.
9. Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is. Donโt confuse these.
10. If youโre staying more than one night, unpack your bag.
11. Never walk through an alley alone.
12. Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as youโre able to without compromising yourself.
13. Canโt is a cop-out.
14. Hold your heroes to a high standard. Be your own hero.
15. If you canโt smile with your eyes, donโt smile. Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.
16. Never lie to yourself.
17. Your body, your rules.
18. If you have an opinion, you better know why.
19. Practice your passions.
20. Ask for what you want. The worst thing they can say is no.
21. Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work to make them happen.
22. Stay as sweet as you are.
23. Fall in love often. Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.
24. Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.
25. Say Please, Thank You, and Pardon Me, whenever the situation warrants it.
26. Reserve โIโm sorryโ for when you truly are.
27. Naps are for grown-ups, too.
28. Question everything, except your own intuition.
29. You have enough. You are enough.
30. You are amazing!
