Rules of life........What are yours?

Including moderation.

If you want the actual quote.

LOL.....loved it.

Perhaps we have a few members that can think after all....

12: I believe that if your heart is at peace with the life your living and your soul is at peace with your creator, who ever you consider that creator to be, than everything else is just icing on the cake.

The point of life is to get what you want.
- Pete Rose

1. Practice mindful kindness to all people & creatures.

2. Treat your body with respect. Eat good quality, nutrient dense food. Follow the 90/10 rule.

3. Give of yourself in any way you can. Time, money, attention. The universe will amplify and return back that which you project.

4. Only eat good chocolate, drink good wine, tea, & coffee. These are affordable luxuries. If you ingest only the good stuff it's better for you. (You don't need crazy, expensive wine either.)

5. Express praise & gratitude to those you love and to God/Universe for the blessings in your life. Everyone can be thankful for at least several things. Food, shelter, a warm bed, clean air and water, a beautiful flower, sunset, your pet........

Love it!!!!

You my friend obviously have some insight beyond the rest on this board.

Please...MORE!!!!!

Good quote, but I kinda disagree with it. Probably just me though....

I am more along the line that the point of life is to learn and to have fun. Name anything you are doing and it will fit in one of those two groups.......

Sheesh, I was going to attempt to add my two cents, but you're too snarky.

And ye harm none, do as ye please.....

I too subscribe to the law of three. It's kept me in check many times....

Get your butt in here girl. Hoarding wisdom is more treacherous than hoarding gold.

The only true thing you have to give to this world is the gift of yourself. Everything else will fade away.

Share, share.....

We need you.........

Violence is bad. Treat others as you'd like to be treated. And no, I'm not a Christian.

13: I believe that hate is a poison to the soul of the person that is doing the hating.

The golden rule is always a good place to be in, regardless of what path you follow.

Thank you for sharing.......

Always forgive
Never forget
Always get even

The crazy thing about this world is that if I actually live in harmony with these rules, I become criminal. I decided a couple of years ago that I didn't want to pay for other people to be murdered (given that the military receive about half of my tax), so to live in integrity and entirely reject violence, makes me a criminal.

That's good.

Forgiveness is not a gift to the person that wronged you. It's a gift to yourself so that you can go on with your own life in peace.

Get even? Ehhhhh....plotting revenge only allows the person that hurt you, to hurt you longer.

Live within your means

It makes you a criminal in the minds of those who profit from murder.....

As long as you can live with your own soul in peace....fuck them.

I can agree with that right up until the day I die.....the last check I'm going to write will bounce...hehehheehehhe

14: I believe that political power in the hands of religion has always, always, led to tyranny. I also believe that political power in the hands of religion will always lead to tyranny.

Respect

Loyalty

&

Precision

Three admirable qualities....I can identify with all of them.

Thank you.

OK, I'll let this thread die now.

I learned a lot from it though and want to thank each of you.

It was truly an insight....
