20 Rules To Live By

I was looking for a photo that was saved on my phone and came across something from a couple of years ago.  I have no recollection of where I saw it and where it originated from but the fact that I saved it meant it resonated with me.  I don’t even know the title but let’s call it “20 Rules To Live By”:

1. Compliment three people every day.
2. Watch a sunrise at least once a year.
3. Be the first to say, “Hello.”
4. Live beneath your means.
5. Treat everyone like you want to be treated.
6. Never give up on anybody. Miracles happen.
7. Forget the Joneses.
8. Never deprive someone of hope. It may be all he has.
9. Pray not for things, but for wisdom and courage.
10. Be tough-minded but tenderhearted.
11. Be kinder than necessary.
12. Don’t forget, a person’s greatest emotional need is to feel appreciated.
13. Keep your promises.
14. Learn to show cheerfulness, even when you don’t feel like it.
15. Remember that overnight success usually takes about 15 years.
16. Leave everything better than you found it.
17. Remember that winners do what loser’s don’t want to do.
18. When you arrive at your job in the morning, let the first thing you say brighten everyone’s day.
19. Don’t rain on other people’s parades.
20. Never waste an opportunity to tell someone you love them.

Spot on!
