First, play this song and read on:

1. Play Games, Always

Everyone plays games whether you're aware it or not. Life has these arbitrary game rules that can be broken at any time but most people live in a fog of routine and think "That's the way things are buddy". But normal is anything but. In any social situation you're either the Parent, Adult, or the Child, and different dynamics play out between these 3. Every interaction has many ways it can go and life is literally a choose your own adventure game. The problem is people take these games more seriously than life itself, rather than taking life as the Art of Playing Games. Learn the rules in your own life, break them, then do what you want. Go from being this:

to this:

Find your middle ground. Ultimately, we all die in the end so YOLO mofo.

Embrace Chaos

Everyday, chaos reigns. It is impossible to plan the next 24 hours of your day. Randomness always provides novelty, good or bad. Seeing an old friend at the store to a car accident, chaos is a force of nature. In a journal write down exactly what you think will happen in the next 24 hours. Not a guideline, not a general outline, write it exactly, minute by minute. It is completely impossible to even do the next hour, unless, of course you plan on sitting on the couch for an hour, but generally, if you're interacting with the world, you're interacting with chaos. So how to deal with it? Simply realize: There are limits to what I can control and anything I can't control is not worth trippin about. "Roll with the Punches". Chaos reigns, enjoy the ride. Develop a love for disorder and AMOR FATI.

Dont take things so seriously

Remember you always have the choice to look at ANY situation differently. Yes, maybe you lost your job, but you hated it anyway. Maybe you're partner left you, so what? Now you can do you. Maybe you were in a horrible accident, but you're not dead and now have a deeper appreciation for it. Nothing is as bad as your own personal worst case scenario, but sometimes it just isn't real. Barring extreme circumstances, no matter what, you can always choose to laugh. Put a smile on your face no matter how hard. Sometimes you just gotta bow to the absurd:

That's it, implement these 3 heuristics and you'll be a Life Wizard in no time.

TLDR;

1. Life is the Art of Playing Games, all interactions have game rules, pay attention and have fun.
2. Embrace Chaos, you can't control everything, but you can control your own mind. Amor fati.
3. Don't take Life so Seriously, being alive is a trip not worth wasting on BS. Force a smile if you have to.
