10 Rules for Successful Life

An early morning e-mail with inspirational thoughts always enlightens my day. This excerpt was sent by my dearest friend Nihira today J via emai

 

Here the 10 Rules for Successful Life:

 

(1)  Never think or speak negatively about yourself; that puts you in disagreement with God.

(2)  Meditate on your God-given strengths and learn to encourage yourself, for much of the time nobody else will.

(3)  Don't compare yourself to anybody else.  You're unique, one of a kind, an original.  So don't settle for being a copy.

(4)  Focus on your potential, not your limitations.  Remember, God lives in you!

(5)  Find what you like to do, do well, and strive to do it with excellence.

(6)  Have the courage to be different.  Be a God pleaser, not a people pleaser.

(7)  Learn to handle criticism.  Let it develop you instead of discourage you.

(8)  Determine your own worth instead of letting others do it for you.  They'll short-change you!

(9)  Keep your shortcomings in perspective - you're still a work in progress.

(10)  Focus daily on your greatest source of confidence - the God Who lives in you.

 

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future and relationships. Please try it in your life
