When I was growing up, I used to always say that I wished that life had an instruction book.  As my girls have grown up, I’ve come to realize that I have a lot of the knowledge to give them the guidance to make good life choices.  I recognize that I can’t always be available to give them advice when they need it, so it makes sense to me to put my knowledge in writing so that it can always be available to them, and maybe it can help you too.

There are a couple of main themes that you will see here, based on my rules for living life.

The first rule is “Live Life on Purpose.”  By this, I mean that if you think about why you do what you do, rather than just going through the motions of life, you will be much happier with your life.

The second is “The Harder Choice is Usually the Right Choice.”  You don’t get the good things in life by making the easier choices.  You get them by making the harder choices, and working for the good stuff.

Even if you don’t read anything else, remember those two rules if you want to have a happy life.
