HAVING

ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS

IN YOUR LIFE
(This is not infallible or inevitable.  It is, however, healing.)

 1. CHANGE YOUR SOURCES OF ENERGY
Friction from problems and conflicts is energizing but expensive

 2. HANG OUT ONLY WITH THE PEOPLE WHO DON’T HAVE PROBLEMS
This may require a new rolodex

 3. ELIMINATE TOLERATIONS IN ALL THEIR FORMS
Tolerations are the breeding ground for problems

 4. SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE
A complicated life is just asking for problems

 5. ADOPT A MORE SOPHISTICATED PERSONAL OPERATING SYSTEM
If yours is buggy or outdated, upgrade

 6. PERFECT YOUR PERSONAL FOUNDATION
When boundaries are extensive and standards are high, problems disappear

 7. FULLY EMBRACE INTEGRITY
When there are no cracks in your life, problems have no place to start

 8. AUTOMATE EVERYTHING THAT IS AUTOMATIONAL
Bill-paying, reminders, paperwork, checklists, and administration

 9. HAVE HEALTHY RESERVES IN ALL AREA
I.e., time, money, space, opportunities, solutions — reserves prevent problems

 10. DECLARE YOURSELF TO BE A “PROBLEM FREE AREA”
Tell yourself — tell your friends — tell the world — that will make it so

 11. TAKE THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE
There is always an easier and probably better way — why force things on yourself

 12. ABANDON ALL HOPE
Hope causes problems because you take your eyes off the present/real
