10 Rules for a Happy Day
“10 Rules for a Happy Day
- Today I will not strike back: If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind, I will not respond in a like manner.
- Today I will ask God to Bless my “enemy”: If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. I understand the “enemy” could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker, or stranger.
- Today I will be careful about what I say: I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.
- Today I will go the extra mile: I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
- Today I will forgive: I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
- Today I will do something nice for someone, but I will do it secretly: I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
- Today I will treat others the way I wish to be treated: I will practice the golden rule- “Do unto others as I would have them do unto me” – with everyone I encounter.
- Today I will raise the spirits of someone who is discouraged: My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
- Today I will nurture my body: I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body.
- Today I will grow spiritually: I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place at some point during the day and listen to God’s voice!” – Anonymous
