QUOTE : <b>25. Seek Out The Five Fs<br /><br />My dad always told me that living a good life was about ‘looking after your friends and family and having the courage to go for your dreams’. That was life in a nutshell for him.</b><br /><br />Luckily those simple values meant much more to him than my school reports - which weren’t always glowing!<br /><br />I have always tried to follow his advice, but I also adapted his mantra to take it one stage further…<br /><br />So here is what I tell young Scouts or young adventurers who ask me what the key is to living a fulfilled life. I keep it pretty simple. I call them the five Fs.<br /><br /><b>Family.<br />Friends.<br />Faith.<br />Fun.<br />Follow your dreams.</b><br /><br />None of them requires a degree, and all of them are within our reach. Just make them your priority, write them on your bathroom mirror, let them seep into your subconscious over time, and soon they will be like a compass guiding you to make the right decisions for your life.<br /><br /><b>When faced with big decisions, just ask yourself: ‘Will this choice or that one support or detract from the five Fs in my life?</b>
