Living Rules





  • Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
  • Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
  • Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplhishing this.
  • Thou shall face each problem as is comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.
  • Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
  • Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you can.
  • Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!
  • Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear different ideas from your own. It is hard to learn some things that you do not know.
  • Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.
  • Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.

Live With Passion!
