When we came into this world, we did not get an instruction manual on how to live a happy life, but if you think about it for a moment, you realize that we don’t really need one. Life can be much simpler than we think it is, and the only thing we need to do to be happy is to remember these rules. These are my own guidelines to life, and remind me each and every day how I should be looking at the world and at life. |

Before your say something bad, |
 |
|
Before you complain about the taste or variety of your food, |
 |
|
Before you yell at your partner, |
 |
|
Before you complain about the state of things today, |
 |
|
Before you get upset because the house is messy, |
 |
|
Before you let traffic and long commutes irritate you, |
 |
|
Before you point an accusing finger at someone, |
 |
|
And the most important rule of them all:
Before you let a depressing thought ruin your mood, |
 |
|
And don't forget, every day, to look in five different directions: |
 |
|
Forwards – To know where you’re going and plan ahead. Backwards – To remember where you came from and avoid past mistakes. Down – To make sure you don’t step on others or ruin things along the way. Sideways – To see who is there to support you, and who needs your help. Up – To remind yourself that there’s someone who’s watching over you.
