Face hardship directly. Endurance grows trust in yourself. Call pain what it is. Freedom comes through brave choices that align you with forces beyond sight.
Speak with intention, not vanity. Let action match substance. Hold discipline, but break it when spirit demands. Throw yourself into real work, and if not, dignify the labor you have.
When wounded, see it as shaping, not punishment. Grieve fully when grief comes, then attend to what follows. Complaint drains life.
Reject shallow ambition. Responsibility deepens freedom. If attacked, know yourself, speak clearly, and defend fiercely if you must.
Stay strange. Where you differ is where you matter. Stand your ground against fear-driven contempt.
Accept fate, feel fully, sacrifice deeply, then care for yourself without excuse. Love with focus. Desire has roots, not branches.
Learn a trade. Touch the world beyond screens and markets. Blend with nature; don’t conquer it. Speak words as sharp as swords, but without glory in others’ pain.
Honor life as sacrament. Be undisguised. Laugh when the weight cracks. Let strangeness, love, and intensity mark you. Leave less harm than you found, and let your trace live in wild things and stars.
