This was in our bulletin this morning and I thought it was excellent:
These points come from a list of "Wise Ways To Live Without Regrets". It's origins are unsure, but the suggestions are timeless....
1. Compliment at least 3 people everyday
2. Watch a sunrise at least once a week.
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 anyone - they can change!
7. Forget the Joneses.
8. Never deprive someone of hope - it may be all they have.
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 that a person’s 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. Remember that winners “do” what losers don’t want to do!
17. Never waste an opportunity t tell someone you love them.
18. Let the first thing you say brighten everyone’s day.
19. Give God “first place” in your life.
If we would live by such principles then we could change the world! |
