21 Rules

Dance of Youth, Pablo Picasso

This is one of my favorite prints, and it's by Pablo Picasso. Maybe it's because it just has such a carefree nature jumping out at you, and I try to base my life off of being...youthful. Maybe it's genetics, or maybe it's the overall outlook on life that's keeping me young, I don't know. But I'm thankful.

One of the other favorite 'prints' I have is H. Jackson Brown Jr's 21 Suggestions for Success:
