Interestingly, oddly, I haven’t yet met Erik Benson of 43things.com though I have met his co-founders. Ok, maybe Seattle is bigger than I thought. In any case, I was wandering around the interweb this morning and came across his personal site. I actually thought his “manifesto of 12 things you can do to make your life more interesting” was thoughtful, useful and worth sharing. So, with all credit to Erik, here’s the list:
1. You must not dilly-dally.
2. You must be your word.
3. You must have good intentions.
4. You must admit to being the maker of meaning.
5. You must not feel sorry for yourself.
6. You must have a vision that you are striving for.
7. You must tie creativity and experimentation with survival.
8. You must be the change.
9. You must rally others with your vision.
10. You must stake your reputation on your better self.
11. You must be responsible for your own failure and success.
12. You must be comfortable with big failure.
