“25 Principles of Adult Behavior” by John Perry Barlow - 1. Be patient. No matter what. 2. Don’t badmouth: Assign responsibility, never blame. Say nothing behind another’s back you’d be unwilling to say, in exactly the same tone and language, to his face. 3. Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you. 4. Expand your sense of the possible. 5. Don’t trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change. 6. Expect no more of anyone than you yourself can deliver. 7. Tolerate ambiguity. 8. Laugh at yourself frequently. 9. Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right. 10. Never forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong. 11. Give up blood sports. 12. Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Do not endanger it frivolously. And never endanger the life of another. 13. Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.) 14. Learn the needs of those around you and respect them. 15. Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that. 16. Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun. 17. Praise at least as often as you disparage. 18. Never let your errors pass without admission. 19. Become less suspicious of joy. 20. Understand humility. 21. Forgive. 22. Foster dignity. 23. Live memorably. 24. Love yourself. 25. Endure. Here’s what these principles meant to Barlow: I don’t expect the perfect attainment of these principles. However, I post them as a standard for my conduct as an adult. Should any of my friends or colleagues catch me violating one of them, bust me. - I love these principles. Number 12 stopped me dead in my tracks. I feel untethered in my existence and perhaps sometimes selfishly take unnecessary risks. - Though I would rather die than live in fear, I’m aware that there are those who would hurt were something to happen to me. - I hold the balance of these two in my hands with care, I promise. - I first heard these principles read by @thatchrisryan on his podcast #tangentiallyspeaking. - Which numbers are you working on? #royalenfield #himalayan #colombia #mototravel #ohbehave

Great episode! #tangentiallyspeaking (at Detroit Yoga)

🙌🏼🔥🙌🏼 stoked to have come across @thatchrisryan podcast, as a student in school for psychology mixed with having a passion for riding and the risks involved and all the fascinating ways the mind works and how everything plays out on and off the bike, pertaining to calculated risks and trying something for the gain of another, whether it’s socially said to be acceptable or not-he’s quite the guy. He’s got a PhD and has what I like to call an action sports mindset, he’s a knowledgeable individual and interesting listen... check it out! #podcasts #chrisryan #tangentiallyspeaking
