Rules For a Better Way to Live

Rule #1

Count Your Blessings
Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will breakout, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward toward the life that God intended for you...with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

Rule #2

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long
Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseperable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth.

Rule #3

Keep a Positive Attitude Daily
Each day is a special gift from God. While life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way.

Rule #4

Live This Day as if it Will be Your Last
Remember that you will only find "tomorrow" on the calendar of fools. Forget yesterday's defeats, and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it...Doomsday. All you have...make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are: "If only I had my life to live over again."

Rule #5

Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight
Extend to each person no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Rule #6

Welcome Every Morning With a Smile
Look on each new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day. Today will never happen again. Don't waste it with a false start or not start at all. You were not born to fail.
