This handbook is very simple. If you make the effort, positive results are destined to happen! You are never too old or too young to start anything, so consider this the best time to start...NOW. The source of these directions are universal truths that can help anyone live life to their fullest!
HEALTH:
Drink plenty of water.
Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is processed with chemicals. Consider transitioning to a vegetarian diet. Watch Forks Over Knives to understand why...
Practice the three E's: Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
Make time to pray and meditate.
Play more games.
Read more, learn more. Share more.
Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
Sleep for 7 hours.
Take at least 10-30 minutes a day to exercise. Smile while you do it.
PERSONALITY:
Set your intention to pursue dreams and share your gifts with others.
Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is about.
Don't have negative thoughts of things you cannot control. Invest your energy in the positive present moment.
Don't take yourself too seriously. No one else does.
Dream more while you are actually awake.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
Forget issues of the past. Quit reminding people of their mistakes of the past. This action ruins your happiness.
Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present and impact the future.
No one is in charge of your happiness except YOU.
Smile,laugh, and love more.
SOCIETY:
Call those you love often.
Each day give something good to others.
Forgive everyone for everything.
Try to make at least 3 people smile each day.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6. You will learn much from both.
Your job won't be there when you need love, support, or reach the end of your journey. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
LIFE:
Practice the "Golden Rule"...if we all did, it would be a very different world.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change. Nothing is permanent.
Pursue your dreams...do not let perceived failure stop you. It serves a purpose to perhaps direct you in a way you did not "see" before.
Follow your heart and the best result will manifest.
When you awake alive in the morning, thank the Higher Power for it.
Know that every thought, word or deed of yours has a ripple effect on many. Make it a beautiful ripple.
If any of these rules are not what your currently follow, set the intention to change it. See what subtle changes occur. Some results will appear quickly, some will emerge over time. Save the excuses, spare the blame and accept the opportunity to make your life one that will be most gratifying for YOU!
