TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR A NEW YEAR 1. Be Kinder. Most people carry a heavy load. They need kindness more than criticism. 2. Be more understanding. Every person has troubles the world knows nothing of. Often we call a man cold when he is sad. 3. Encourage people more. Accentuate the positive - eliminate the negative. 4. Trust people more. Suspicion and lack of trust destroy relationships. 5. Show greater enthusiasm for life. Boredom-dullness-monotony-squeeze the goodness out of existence. 6. Smile more often. A pleasant smile has the power to lift others’ spirits. 7. Be less sensitive to your own feelings. Be more sensitive to the feelings of others. 8. Be less rigid in meeting change. Everything old is not necessarily good. Everything new is not necessarily bad. 9. Learn what it means to love your fellow man. Love of man proceeds from love of God. 10. Remember that God helps those who help themselves Act as if everything depends upon you, and pray as if everything depended upon God. |
