Entirely from personal experience — no basis in any kind of fact or science — life is balanced. Good and bad, equal. Good deeds have a bad counterpart or side effect and visa versa. Maybe it’s not true. Probably, in fact. But it seems that way.

In less words, life is a rollercoaster.

It doesn’t mean good isn’t worth it. On the contrary, it’s all the more so. Good is always worth it.

On a similar note, I’m a born cynic. But I’m also beginning to realise that sometimes cynicism holds you back. Sometimes you gotta take a leap of faith instead of always planning for the worst.

Though planning for the worst is good. Almost as good as seeing the future in fact.

That was an odd mix and match of sections of my life philosophy. A philosophy in a near constant state of flux. But with some core, unshakable values. Honesty being utmost.

Inspired by Gibbs from NCIS I sat down and wrote out a life code for myself. I’d encourage you to do the same. But also — don’t be afraid to rehash and edit those rules as you change and grow.

Or don’t. At the very least, think. Step back and think about your life philosophy. In the meantime, see you tommorow!

Thought for the day: Without the darkness we’d never see the stars. (Yes, I know that’s a quotation from Twilight of all things, but even a broken clock is right twice a day)
