Suggestions

 

I saw this on a friend's FB and wanted to share -- but thought the title "Rules for Everyone" sounded a bit offensive.  Don't we have enough rules already?

Send Thank You cards for every act of hospitality -- except another Thank You card.

Travel light through life. Keep only what you need.

That little piece of chocolate won't kill you - everything in moderation.

It's okay to cry when you're hurt.  It's also okay to smash things, but wash your face, clean your mess, and get up off the floor when you done.  You don't belong down there.

If you're going to curse, be clever.  If you're going to curse in public, know your audience.

Seek out the people and places that resonate with your soul.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.

5-second rule: It's just dirt.  There are worse things in a fast food cheeseburger.

Happiness is not a permanent state. Wholeness is.  Don't confuse the two.

Be a good guest and leave it as you found it.

Never walk through an alley.

Be less sugar, more spice, and only as nice as you're able without compromise yourself.

Can't is a cop-out.  Don't want to is perfectly acceptable.

Hold your heroes to a high standard.  Be your own hero.

If you can't smile with your eyes, don't smile.  Insincerity is nothing to aspire to.

Never lie to yourself.

Your body, your rules.

If you have an opinion, you better know why.

Study your curiosities and practice your passions.

Ask for what you want.

Wish on stars and dandelions, then get to work.

Don't skimp on good sheets.

Fall in love often.  Particularly with ideas, art, music, literature, food and far-off places.

Fall hard and forever in love with nothing but yourself.

Say "Please", "Thank You" and "Pardon Me" whenever the situation warrants it.

Reserve "I'm sorry" for when you truly are.

Naps are for grown-ups, too.

Question everything except your own intuition.

You have enough. You are enough.

Hugs,
