10 thoughts to live by

Published Oct. 15, 2008

  1. Thou shalt not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
  2. Thou shalt not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
  3. Thou shalt not cross bridges before you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
  4. Thou shalt face each problem as it comes. You can handle only one at a time anyway.
  5. Thou shalt not take problems to bed with you for they make very poor bedfellows.
  6. Thou shalt not borrow other people's problems. They can take better care of them than you can.
  7. Thou shalt not try to relive yesterday for good or ill — it is gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.
  8. Thou shalt count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
  9. 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 talking.
  10. Thou shalt not become bogged down by frustration, for 90 percent of it is rooted in self-pity, and it will only interfere with positive action.

My friend told me she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight for too many worries. I sent her these rules and she said she will put them by the bed. Thanks!

This is great,Thank you.

Thanks Mary!

That's a keeper GodBless!

My Daddy used to tell me:

If worrying will make it any better...I'll start right now!

I remember him saying that at least a million times!

I heard number one when I was in high school and have tried to live with that philosophy my whole life, it makes so much sense. I graduated in 74, so it's been a short life, but one, whose blood pressure is still good. lol

AMEN, AND AMEN!!!

God bless.
