Some of the best rules for life are surprisingly simple.

When you say I love you, mean it.

When you say I’m sorry, own it.

When you disagree, fight fair.

Don’t make fun of someone’s dream just because you don’t understand it.

Don’t let one disagreement destroy years of friendship.

And every once in a while, call someone simply because you were thinking about them.

We spend a lot of time trying to say the right things.

Maybe what matters more is making sure the people around us know they matter.

People may forget the conversation. They rarely forget how the conversation made them feel.
