10 Rules For A Good Day

 1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind...
I will not respond in a like manner.



2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY "ENEMY":
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, 
I will quietly ask God to bless that individual. 
I understand the "enemy" could be a family member, 
neighbor, co-worker, or a stranger.



3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:
I will carefully choose and guard my words 
being certain that I do not spread gossip.



4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.



5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.



6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, 
BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.



7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS 
THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED:
I will practice the golden rule - 
"Do unto others as I would have them do unto me" - 
with everyone I encounter.



8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS 
OF SOMEONE I DISCOURAGED:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, 
can make the difference to someone who is wrestling life.



9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY:
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. 
I will thank God for my body.



10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: 
I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; 
I will find a quiet place (at some point during the day) 
and listen to God's voice!!!
