Thoughts on How to Live

Follow the 10 commandments.
Live the Golden Rule.
Believe in yourself; you know just as much as most people.
Showing up is 90% of life.
Don't say anything about others that you wouldn't want them to know you've said.
Discipline your children. Inspire them for good.
Don't get bullied into following political correctness.
Being yourself is always better than pretense.
Call your relatives, tell them you love them, even when you don't want to.
People's lives behind closed doors rarely looks like what you think it does.
What you do everyday is way more important than what you do occasionally.
Never compare yourself to the image others project.
Say positive words ten times more than negative words.
Stop assuming it's about you; it's probably not.
Do what you are afraid to do; your fear will frequently vanish.
Act as if you'll be successful. Remember: what the mind believes, the person achieves.
Make a habit out of smiling. People will smile back at you!
Lipstick and sunglasses do wonders.
People live up or down to the expectations you put upon them. Be optimistic and expect the best.
Words can't be taken back, so choose them wisely.
A glass of red wine makes the evenings much better.
Hug your children and your spouse at least three times per day.
Tell your friends and family all the nice things you are thinking about them.
When anyone walks into your presence greet them with a smile.
People are just doing the best they can.
Everyone craves encouragement and love.
No one really wants your opinion, unless they have specifically asked for it.
Supporting others’ success doesn't lessen your chances to succeed.
Most problems won't matter next week, next month, next year.
More Stuff doesn’t equal More Happiness; it never has and never will.
Don't yell at other drivers while you're behind the wheel. You just wind up ruining your own attitude.
Complaining about things is the sad hobby of life's losers.
Remember that life is a gift and can be gone in a flash. Treasure every day.
