What's the best advice you've learned though your time on Earth (as opposed to the moon)?

A friend had this mantra of "You do you." that I've really embraced. Stop giving a shit about the things you don't agree with or views other people are into. I'm not looking to change minds, just being personally receptive and open is enough for me.

In line with that one: you don't have to have an opinion on everything

There's this push sometimes to pick a side, rank the options, etc. We don't have to do that. The world is complex, and being ok with that is ok :)

Focus your mental and emotional energy on the things that truly matter to you, while also remaining open to learning and growing through the perspectives of others
