Here are a few rules and guidelines for life I've garnered
over the past two years.
- Pay your Bills. Do so on time. Else you will learn that people do care if you are alive!
- “A great democracy has got to be progressive or it will soon cease to be great or a democracy.” ~ Theodore Roosevelt
- George Carlin reminds us: “If crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part to us, do they?”
- “Did
you know
- “The reason why people give up so fast is because they tend to look at how far they still have to go instead of how far they have come.” ~www.wisdomquotesandstories.com
- “When Jesus broke the law by healing on the Sabbath, he was making a point.” ~Mark 3:1-6 “…you are no longer bound by the old laws…the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself’.” ~Col. 2:20-21, Gal 3:23-25; 5:18, Rom 13:8-10
- The Minnesota Atheists.org reminds us: “Please don’t indoctrinate me with religion. Teach me to think for myself.”
- Tweety Bird insists on this rule: “If you’re going to be a smart ass – first you have to be smart; otherwise you’re just an ass.”
- Beware of lying on the floor. “At my age rolling out of bed in the morning is easy… Getting up off the floor is another story.” ~Author Unknown
Surely there are many more rules. We live a life in a sea of
laws and regulations. Not all apply all the time. Many are situational. Knowing
when to use them requires another set of rules!
I've learned a few really good rules to guide my life. They
are hard to realize and harder to live by. I do so imperfectly. Here are two
that make the most sense to me:
-Find
humility in your life; do not take things so seriously
-Treat others as you want them to
treat you. No ifs ands or buts. Humility helps to do this well.
A short posting today. However, it is well worth studying,
and chuckling a little as well!
