As the old adage goes, man does not live by bread alone; in fact men should learn how to nourish their souls to lead a better life. I found Og Mandino’s 17 Rules of a Better Way to Live. I would like to share it with you the excerpts and hoping it will help satisfy your daily lives.
Rule 1 – Count your blessings.
Rule 2 – Today, and everyday, deliver more than you are getting paid to do.
Rule 3 – Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, do not look back at it too long.
Rule 4 – Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family.
Rule 5 – Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts.
Rule 6 – Let your actions always speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress.
Rule 7 – Each day is a special gift from God, and 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.
Rule 8 – Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along.
Rule 9 – Live this day as if it will only find “tomorrow” on the calendar of fools.
Rule 10 – Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight.
Rule 11 – Laugh at yourself and at life.
Rule 12 – Never neglect the little things.
Rule 13 – Welcome every morning with a smile.
Rule 14 – You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day- not long and difficult projects, but chores that will take you, step by step, toward your rainbow.
Rule 15 – Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day.
Rule 16 – Search for the good seed in every adversity.
Rule 17 – Realize that true happiness lies within you.
