Manifestos for Life

Charles Gaines’ ‘Manifestos’ at UCLA Hammer Museum
In the goal towards being a more complete human being, serving your life’s purpose, a modern day renaissance person and more simply put; just being really damn happy – manifestos are a way to get to the point, recognize your main goals and live life to the fullest. I am brought to this destination while researching more of my passion, how to live an inspired life, and while writing a mission statement for my second company!!!!! It was brought to my attention at a young age, that life is delicate and full of unexpected lemon flavored twists and turns from which you may A) make a sour-face, spit the lemon out and pout, or B) make delicious lemonade, share the wealth and sit back and smile with friends.
In my quest for inspiration, knowledge, spiritual connection, mind, body and soul, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera… I have lists and lists and notebooks and notebooks filled with goals, missions, theories and more, yet I have digressed from sitting my arse down and creating one complete guideline for how I determine to live my life, with the option of course to add / delete and edit anything that I deem fit at anytime (hehe).
If you are anything like me, starting a new company, first, second or third, starting a new project, starting a new job, career path, have a new lease on life, or just want to get a lease on life to begin with, then I suggest you do the same.
Check out this amazing article from one of my faves, Scott Belsky’s website for creatives
5 Manifestos For Art, Life and Business on The99Percent.com
Here Jocelyn K. Glei writes about 5 of her top manifestos, including that of Architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Marketer Seth Godin, Designer John Maeda, Writer Leo Tolstoy and Innovative Power Company Apple.
I know that any time I meet a person I admire, whether a friend, business person or an accomplished or motivated individual – I always ask them about their morning routine. I always like to understand how this person is able to do what they do and how they do it. For me, if every one gets the same 24 hours in a day to do what they do, I want to know – how they spend their time, what do they value and HOW DO I DO THAT!!!
SO I ask YOU, please send me your Manifestos – I would LOVE to hear them!
As for mine, it is a work in progress, but here are the creeds I strive to live by.
My Manifesto (a work in progress).
1. Always make time for Mind, Body and Soul. Tune in to what your body tells you.
2. Be Authentic.
3. Seek the fun in everything, do what you love, and love what you have.
4. Seek to live a life full of meaningful relationships that benefit both yourself and many other people.
5. Believe in constant innovation, reaching beyond what has been conceived as possible, and reinventing that belief.
6. Strive to inspire and empower yourself and others to increase our ability to improve the world for the greater good.
7. Keep aligned with my mission to share my visions with the world and to create beautiful things for the masses to enjoy.
8. “Peace and happiness come from within, not from with out.” – Buddha
9. Trust myself and always listen to my inner voice.
10. Focus on sustainability (the capacity to endure) in everything you do.
For the more specifics:
11. Always have a life time goal, a 5 year goal, a yearly goal, a quarterly goal, a monthly goal, a weekly goal, a daily goal and an hourly goal – but don’t freak out if you didn’t accomplish it.
12. Work out or do something physical every day!
13. Substitute water for all juices or sodas all day long, and drink water with your social cocktails.
14. Send beautiful thank you notes to those you love.
15. Always let people underestimate you 😉
16. Spoil yourself rotten and love yourself as much as you love your favorite person.
17. Never go to bed angry, never end on a bad note.
18. Give compliments to strangers.
19. Follow your heart and don’t have regrets.
20. Life is meant to be LIVED!
