These seem like simple little rules; wouldn't it be great if everyone could live by them?
"1. Marry the right person. This one decision will determine 90% of your happiness or misery.
2. Work at something you enjoy and that's worthy of your time and talent.
3. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
4. Become the most positive and enthusiastic person you know.
5. Be forgiving of yourself and others.
6. Be generous.
7. Have a grateful heart.
8. Persistence, persistence, persistence.
9. Discipline yourself to save money on even the most modest salary.
10. Treat everyone you meet like you want to be treated.
11. Commit yourself to constant improvement.
12. Commit yourself to quality.
13. Understand that happiness is not based on possessions, power or prestige, but on relationship with people you love and respect.
14. Be loyal.
15. Be honest.
16. Be a self-starter.
17. Be decisive even it it means you'll sometimes be wrong.
18. Stop blaming others. Take responsibility for every area of your life.
19. Be bold and courageous. When you look back on your life, you'll regret the things you didn't do more than the ones you did.
20. Take good care of those you love.
21. Don't do anything that wouldn't make your Mom proud."H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Great list Stephanie...That first one is a biggie...Unfortunately, there are a few of us that had to work on that one a couple of times to get it right.
I think the most important one is making mom proud. I think if most people did that one alone, we would live in a better world.
I think we all forget about these from time to time...thanks for the reminder! Have a great day!
As my wise old grandmother used to say, "Be the best you can be at whatever you choose to be."

#18 is where the most problems seem to linger in my opinion. Thanks Stephanie!
Twenty-One good rules to live by. As Ceil says, make each day special and accomplish at least one good deed each day. That is 365 good deeds for the year.
Wow, that's a lot to take in if you really start thinking about it. Thanks for the motivation, Stephanie. Kevin may be right -- 18 is a biggie! But so is 17. Well, they're all BIG.
Cheers, Stephanie. Have an awesome rest of your week.
#19 is why everyone has started making bucket lists, a term which I have really come to dislike.
