12 Wonderful Commandments

I am pure love. Love is my essence, it is what arises from me and what is drawn to me. I live in eternity and am protected.

1> Make your mind up to be happy.

Learn to find Pleasure in Simple things.

2> Make the Best of your Circumstances.

No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness in their life.

The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.

3> Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Don’t think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.

4> You can’t please everyone.

Don’t let criticism worry you.

5> Don’t let your neighbor set your standards.

Be yourself.

6> Do the things you enjoy doing…

But stay out of debt.

7> Never borrow trouble.

Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.

8> Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy,

Avoid people who make you unhappy.

9> Have many interests.

If you can’t travel, read about new places.

10> Don’t hold postmortems.

Don’t spend your time brooding over sorrows and mistakes.

Don’t be the one who never gets over things.

11> Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.

12> Keep busy at something.

A busy person never has time to be unhappy.

And don’t forget to always be thankful.

Love,
