Not too long ago I posed to some friends the challenge to come up with
ten commandments for living the good life. All had to be secular. To
get things rolling these are mine –
1.don’t kill
2.don’t steal
3.enjoy life
4.love
5.listen
6.use your talents
7.live responsibly
8.keep your body healthy
9.gather regularly with friends
10.think about things
One friend proposed these –
1. Follow the golden rule.
2. You can't change others, only yourself.
3. If you meet 3 assholes in one day, you better take a look at
who the real asshole is.
4. Don't burn any bridges.
5. Work to live, not the other way around.
6. Live consciously as much as possible.
7. Take time off from living consciously to RELAX.
8. Always have a hammock readily available.
9. Keep and protect boundaries.
10. Attend 12 Step meetings often.
Another (and more practical) friend suggests these -
1.Live
2.Love
3.Laugh
4.Never wash socks together; you’re bound to lose one.
5.Have your ATM card swiped and ready to go before the checker
is done scanning your items.
6.Don’t take a phone call when I’m standing in front of you
ready to pay
7.If you get in your car ready to leave a parking spot, how
about you go ahead and back out some time in this millennium
8.Don’t text and drive
9.Dance like nobody is watching.
10.Don’t forward e-mails that I must reply to or I’ll have bad
luck, and no, Bill Gates isn’t sharing his fortune by forwarding this
e-mail.
What would be your ten? Jim
