10 RULES FOR GREAT DAY

1. 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. 2. 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 a stranger. 3. 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. 4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:  I will find ways to help share the burden of another person. 5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:  I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way. 6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:  I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another. 7. 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. 8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE I DISCOURAGED:  My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling life. 9. TODAY I WILL NUTURE MY BODY:  I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank God for my body. 10. 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)!
