The Ten Commandments for a long and peaceful life.
- Thou shalt not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
- Thou shalt not be fearful, for most things we fear never come to pass.
- Thou shalt face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time.
- Thou shalt not cross bridges until you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
- Thou shalt not take problems to bed, for they make very poor pillows.
- Thou shalt not borrow other peoples problems. They can take better care of them than you can.
- Thou shalt be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is very hard to learn something new when you are always talking.
- Thou shalt not re-live yesterday, for good or ill – it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.
- Thou shalt not become bogged down by frustration, for 50% of it is rooted in self pity and will only interfere with positive actions.
- Thou shalt count thy blessings, never over looking the small one, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
