The top of the list is The Ten Commandments. Regardless of your religious convictions, whether you are Christian, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist, etc. these rules are hard to argue with.
My second code is the Scout oath: trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and reverent. If everyone lived these values day, what a different place this world would be.
Without love, you have nothing. Jesus said the 2nd greatest commandment was to love your neighbor. This is a lot harder, isn't it?
Risk is a necessary component of growth and progress. You had to fall down many times when learning to walk.
As you grow, continue to learn. Never stop learning.
There is nothing more important than your children. Do what it takes to make them your top priority. Spend all the time you can with them.
Never put yourself in a position today where you will look back tomorrow and say "I wish I had taken the time to...................."
Admit your mistakes. Learn from them. Take responsibility for them.
Relax. Take a vacation. See a show. Smell the proverbial flowers.
If you don’t like your job, quit and do something else.
Hold yourself to high standards.
Continue searching all your life, for only when you look will you find something. When you quit looking, the search ends.
Never look back except for a lesson learned or a fond memory. Live today, and look forward to tomorrow.
Scout motto: Do a good turn daily. Small gestures count. Sometimes a smile and kind word can make someone's day.
I believe God puts us in someone's way. That means, you end up in situations where only you can help someone and only you can make a difference.
Eliminate negative thoughts. Thoughts become actions. So focus on the positive, and focus on happiness.
Stop and BREATHE. Remember the moment you are in. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow never comes.
Never lie. Tell the truth, even if it hurts.
Forgive yourself, and others, quickly and easily. Do not hold negative emotions.
A relationship should enhance each other, but never define either.
