A friend emailed me these and I wanted to share to rules. Live your life by them and feel the difference.

1.Ignore other people’s negativity.

2.Appreciate what you have.

3.Say yes more often. (I think this one's really important - the more you say yes, the more experiences you'll have and the more people you'll meet. Plus people always like people who are always up for something.)

4.Try to do one selfless act every day. (One day I bought the big issue from the woman outside markies and had a nice chat with her and I felt good all day.)

5.Smile.

6.Be nice to everyone, even if they are not nice to you. (This is a toughie but it helps you stay in a good mood!)

7.Be positive.

8.Focus on reality. (Don't get too caught up in what your life should be like, or how people's lives are in movies, concentrate on the important things that are really happening, and the people in your lives that really matter!)

9.Accept and move on. (This is one of my faves- don't dwell on the past, don't keep re running embarassing moments in your head, just accept that it happened and move on from it.)

    The paradoxical commandments:
    People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered; forgive them anyway
    If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway
    If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway
    If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway
    What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; build anyway.
    If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway
    The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway.
    Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough;
    give the world the best you’ve got anyway.
    You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and the Universe;
    it was never between you and them anyway.
