B4 Ayn Rand

Before I get deeper into Ayn Rand's objectivist philosophy, perhaps I should outline belief statements I've held on to for a length. Belief statements to me are guidelines to live by which reflect one's values and some of which may be grounded or influenced by one's religion.

1) Do not take more than what is already given.
2) One can only be certain of 2 things in this world: love for fellows
and the love of God
3) Count your blessings, no matter how small and pay it forward in some way
without asking for anything in return.
4) Gut feelings are valid....almost 90 percent. These may be indicative of something
which one cannot put in words.
5) Wallowing in self doubt and self pity leads to nowhere.
6) Nothing is sustainable....so live for the moment...life is short.
7) When all fails, at the end of the day, hug your kids to sleep.
