Life has taught me that success, abundance, prosperity, peace, and happiness are all created through exercising a planned routine. To create a happy and prosperous life, we need some instructions, or rules, for living.
Rule 1: Spread love. In order to produce great achievements, we have to take great risks. The greater the required achievement, the greater the personal risk involved. The greater the love we show and give, the greater the vulnerability, but the greater the return.
Rule 2: Learn from life. We have to learn from the lessons in life. When we do lose, as we all will from time to time, we should lose gracefully and learn from the lesson that life has taught us through the experience, turning it into a positive to build on.
Rule 3: Show respect. We need to respect others as we respect ourselves. Above all we should respect ourselves and show that respect. In today's society, there seems to be a great lack of self-respect. Just look at the way people behave and dress.
Rule 4: Be responsible. We need to take full responsibility for all our actions. Always do things for the right reason and from a position of love for your fellow man. Remember that anything done for the greater good will always succeed.
Rule 5: Be ethical. Live a life that is honorable and ethical. Especially in today's world, there seem to be a lot of questions about ethics and deceit. It is very important to stay true and honest to the fundamental rules of ethics and fairness.
Rule 6: Admit fallibility. Remember to take immediate action when you realize you have made a mistake. It is very important that you admit when you have made a mistake and that you take immediate steps to correct the mistake.
Rule 7: Show forgiveness. Do not let little things interfere or destroy a great relationship. Show forgiveness.
Rule 8: Allow change. Be open to change, but do not compromise on your values and ethics. Through change we grow and learn.
Rule 9: Learn to listen. There are times when it is better to be silent than to speak. It is through listening that we learn the other person's point of view and get a better understanding of the situation under consideration.
Rule 10: Create abundance. Create a loving and harmonious atmosphere in the home. When we create an atmosphere of love, we create the foundation for happiness. Remember that it is through giving that we receive the greatest joy and rewards.
Rule 11: Practice quiet reflection. Spend some time alone at least once a day.
Rule 12: Give of yourself. Remember that in any relationship your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
These twelve simple rules, when followed in a consistent manner, will bring you lots of abundance, prosperity, and happiness.
