10 Rules for a Happy 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 "enemy" could be a familiar member, neighbor, co-worker, or stranger.
3. Today I wil 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 do it in secret...
• 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 who is discouraged...
• My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
9. Today I will nurture my body...
• I will eat healthy and reasonable portions. I will thank God for the body He gave me.
10. Today I will grow spiritually...
• I will spend a little more time in prayer today. I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to God's voice.
