Every Single Day You Make A Choice

7 Rules of Life


1. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.

2. What others think of you is none of your business.

3. Time heals almost everything, give it time.

4. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.

5. Stop thinking too much, it's alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.

6.No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.

7. Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world.
 
Wife and I don't agree with all of these, but that is us.

Wonderful advice and we all need to be reminded of those Rules of Life.
Our days would be so much better if we could remember to live by them every day.
 
I disagree with statements 2,3,5, very much. Time does not heal all wounds, what other people think ofyou matters much sometimes
though you cannot control it, Nothing is wrong with thinking "too much". Some people just
don't think enough, that's another problem. Of course, we cannot answer all questions, hopefully a few anyway.
 
Everyone makes choices every day. Some are good and some are not so good.

I'm not sure that I agree with the 7 rules... but remember "Rules were made for the guidance of wise men and the obedience of fools".
Sometimes attributed to the WW2 ace, Douglas Bader, but probably has a much earlier origin.

Rule 8. Wear sunscreen.

I just base my life on Objectivism, the principles set out by Ayn Rand . I have done for over fifty years and it is a philosophy that has served me well.

I like your rules and many, many more!

I think of these quite often.

You can never change the facts but you can always change your attitude.

Every morning when you wake up you get a fresh chance to start over.

In a hundred years it won't matter if ...

and this thought from my working years.

4. Don't compare your life to others and don't judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about. I so agree with this one. Years back I was very judgemental and thinking the only reason people were in the position they were in was because of poor choices. I hear that statement quite a bit and I cringe when I hear it now. I have some very good friends who have fallen on hard times. Maybe some of their choices were poor, but I'm sure for them it was the right choice at the time or maybe their only choice. In any case I doubt I could have done better in their circumstances.
