9 Simple Rules That Will Make Your Life Better
When
we came into this world, we did not get an instruction manual on how to
live a happy life, but if you think about it for a moment, you realize
that we don’t really need one. Life can be much simpler than we think it
is, and the only thing we need to do to be happy is to remember these
rules. These are my own guidelines to life, and remind me each and every
day how I should be looking at the world and at life.
|
Before
your say something bad,
Think about those who can’t talk and say something back. |
|
Before
you complain about the taste or variety of your
food,
remember there are starving people in the world. |
|
Before
you yell at your partner,
think of how lonely some people feel as they go to sleep in an empty bed. |
|
Before
you complain about the state of things today,
think about all the people who never got to see this day. |
|
Before
you get upset because the house is messy,
remember that there are people who don’t have a roof over their head. |
|
Before
you let traffic and long commutes irritate you,
think about how fortunate you are to have a job and a car. |
|
Before
you point an accusing finger at someone,
remember that you’re not perfect, and you make mistakes too. |
|
And
the most important rule of them all:
Before
you let a depressing thought ruin your mood,
put a smile on your face and be thankful you’re alive! |
|
And
don't forget, every day, to look in five different
directions:
|
|
Forwards – To
know where you’re going and plan ahead.
Backwards – To
remember where you came from and avoid past mistakes.
Down – To
make sure you don’t step on others or ruin things along the
way.
Sideways – To
see who is there to support you, and who needs your help.
Up – To
remind yourself that there’s someone who’s watching over you.
