Rule One: Make peace with your past so it won't screw up your present.

Rule Two: What others think of you is none of your business.

Rule Three: Time heals almost everything, give it time.

Rule Four: Don't compare yourself to others and don't judge them. You just don't know what their journey is all about.

Rule Five: Stop thinking too much; it's alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect them.

Rule Six: No one is in charge of your happiness except you.

Rule Seven: Smile. You don't own all the problems in the world.

There is a number 8 and most important one

8. You are 100% responsible for everything that happens in your life

Ducks from the flying eggs..this one may cause a little controversy lol

So when a satellite falls from the sky and crushes me I am responsible? Dang.

nice - I like that it is a little different from the usual list of platitudes and well said

right - people have things happen all the time to them that they did not ask for or deserve.....it's how they handle those events that we are responsilbe for

Its called the Law Of Attraction, more and more people are following this belief now.

Actually, yes. You chose to be in the spot where the satellite was destined to land. Had you chosen another spot, someone else would have been squashed.

Heres one for ya..I was living in a small city of about 30 thousand people. You rarely see anyone around unless you hit the bars lol

This is a true story..this guy was a student from another country, he was walking down a residential street when all of a sudden a Helicopter lost control and landed right on top of him...now explain that one. Apparently he did not hear it as he was listening to music

yeah that "don't tinkle into the wind" didn't hold merit.
~ I once hid behind a huge tree for, 'n Mr. Wind was onto me. Sneaked around the tree he did 'n got meself right in the mug.
lol, yum..but was hard not to laugh ~ true story.

Rule Eight: When someone starts to talk about their home movies or vacation slides don't make eye contact and feign deafness.

Great list.

Create the world around you.
