1 Keep breathing for as long as you can.
2 Nothing is as it seems long enough to be permanent.
3 When all seems lost keep going, you still have you.
4 Remember your true nature.
5 Travel light, take only what you need.
6 The time to look behind is after the finish.
7 Everything you encounter will either drain you or empower you.
8 Don’t believe everything your senses tell you.
9 Hope comes after the courage to begin.
10 Trust in your-self; if it feels right it probably is.
11 Beware of pickpockets.
12 Ignore barking dogs but carry a stick anyway.
13 Take note of your intuition, it’s there for a reason.
14 Don’t horde or you’ll have to de-clutter often.
15 Be aware of what you think, your thoughts have energy.
16 Wisdom comes after the learning, not before.
17 Gratitude comes with gratification.
