Advice about hosting from a travel guide

I think the art of hosting has made a big impact on me this week, as I’m seeing resonance everywhere! Here’s advice from a travel guide that appeared in my Facebook stream this morning:

• believe that others can be trusted
• see beauty in the dark wintery sky
• recognize that envy is the greatest enemy of happiness
• change your attitude when you can't change the situation
• attend to the moments in one's life
• have a certain amount of boredom
• have choices about things that matter
• know how much is enough
• value connectivity and celebrate the happiness of others
• have a short commute (really)
• spend five minutes a day thinking about death to reset priorities </ul> (hat tip to Gina)
