These are a few rules that I swear by, to help me get through this crazy/beautiful thing called LIFE (they are in random order). If you can APPLY at least 1-4 of these rules to your every day life, then living life may become easier! If I don't swear by these, I am all out of order..kind of like a broken machine ;)
Okay, so lets start!
1.
You are in control of your own happiness
(This means that. no one can control you being happy. Only you can. Sure, some of you may have been dealt shitty cards in life, but even with the shittiest cards you can make order and some sense out of it. The only person that can make yourself happy is YOURSELF. No one is living your life, but you. So make it worth it)
2.
Treat People How you Would Want to Be Treated
(Treat everyone with the same kindness that you would expect to be treated. Generous, sincere, loyal, and trusting are all good traits of RESPECTING another person)
3.
Karma
(Like Lil Wayne says "Karma can be a bi**%, depending how you dress her". What goes around, comes around. Therefore...what YOU put out in this world, you receive. If you are not a good friend, most likely you will find yourself friendless. You get the idea.
4.
Do What Makes you Happy
(Meaning, find what it is in life that truly you feel that you love. My mom once told me, that having all the money in the world is not worth it, if you don't have a burning desire to wake up every morning and be excited about doing it. If you feel like this, maybe some more self -discovery can help lead you in the right path. You have ONE life to live, and you don't want to be miserable all for a dollar and some change!)
5.
Always Forgive but Never Forget
(I am sure that many of you have been done wrong by someone in your life. I know I have. But to dwell on that and the person who caused you stress and harm is not worth it. That can actually bring you down. Don't focus on revenge. The best thing to do, is in your heart is to forgive that person so that you can move on with your life. Don't let one person take away your happiness over something that was probably petty anyways. Move on, forgive, but NEVER forget what that person did, so that way it doesn't make you look like a fool in the end to get burnt twice!!)
6.
Always Be Accountable for Your Actions
(If you know you messed up, don't sit back and let others take the blame. Fess up for your wrong doings and don't make the same mistake twice)
7.
Get Up, Get Dressed, and Show Up
(This reads what it means. Don't waste your precious time. Get up every day, get dressed and show up to life. Life is ticking away, day by day! Make the most out of it before God calls you home)
8.
Let Go and Let YOUR God
(Many of us want to fix something that is beyond our control. I will be the first to admit that. I tend to beat myself up over things that are way out of my hands. Maybe your stressed at work, having a situation with a partner or friend...instead of beating yourself up over it, let YOUR God take care of it. I say "your God" because not all of us believe in ONE. Put your heart and mind at ease and know that your God has your back)
9.
It's Okay to Cry
(Holding back how you feel is not good. That can be stressful. And stress is not good for your heart. Whether you cry alone or in front of someone, its okay! It really is. Its way healthier to have a snob fest then let it reach a boiling point where it becomes anger instead of tears)
10.
Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover
(This is kind of broad. But it's the same thing as "Don't judge someone until you have walked a mile in their shoe". People are human with emotions. People have bad and good days. Days filled with laughter and joy and some are filled with pain and tears. You might meet someone from what others have told you, or met them one time and maybe they were having a bad day. Until you know someone and can start picking their brains, you don't have the right to belittle someone form here-say. That breaks rule #2)
