*** Article: Some Simple Rules for a Satisfying Life - By Andreas Stark ***
----------------------------------------------------
Life has taught
me that success, abundance, prosperity, peace, and happiness are all created
through exercising a planned routine. To create a happy and prosperous life, we
need some instructions, or rules, for living.
Rule 1: Spread love. In
order to produce great achievements, we have to take great risks. The greater
the required achievement, the greater the personal risk involved. The greater
the love we show and give, the greater the vulnerability, but the greater the
return.
Rule 2: Learn from life. We have to learn from the lessons in
life. When we do lose, as we all will from time to time, we should lose
gracefully and learn from the lesson that life has taught us through the
experience, turning it into a positive to build on.
Rule 3: Show respect.
We need to respect others as we respect ourselves. Above all we should respect
ourselves and show that respect. In today's society, there seems to be a great
lack of self-respect. Just look at the way people behave and dress.
Rule
4: Be responsible. We need to take full responsibility for all our actions.
Always do things for the right reason and from a position of love for your
fellow man. Remember that anything done for the greater good will always
succeed.
Rule 5: Be ethical. Live a life that is honorable and ethical.
Especially in today's world, there seem to be a lot of questions about ethics
and deceit. It is very important to stay true and honest to the fundamental
rules of ethics and fairness.
Rule 6: Admit fallibility. Remember to
take immediate action when you realize you have made a mistake. It is very
important that you admit when you have made a mistake and that you take
immediate steps to correct the mistake. It is a sign of maturity and of courage
to own up to your own fallibility.
Rule 7: Show forgiveness. Do not let
little things interfere or destroy a great relationship. Whether in your
personal life or in business, relationships are precious and should not be taken
lightly, so when minor disagreements occur, do not let these destroy the
relationship. Show forgiveness, and move on.
Rule 8: Allow change. Be
open to change, but do not compromise on your values and ethics. Through change
we grow and learn. Too often, however, people tend to change for opportunistic
reasons and are willing to forego all that is good and valuable for immediate
gratification or greed.
Rule 9: Learn to listen. There are times when it
is better to be silent than to speak. Too often, we feel the need to say our
piece, but there are many situations in life where it is better to be quiet and
listen. It is through listening that we learn the other person's point of view
and get a better understanding of the situation under consideration. This could
be a hard rule to master for some of us.
Rule 10: Create abundance.
Create a loving and harmonious atmosphere in the home. When we create an
atmosphere of love, we create the foundation for happiness, abundance, and
prosperity. Remember that it is through giving that we receive the greatest joy
and rewards.
Rule 11: Practice quiet reflection. Spend some time alone at
least once a day. This is the time you can spend to meditate and reflect on the
happenings of the day. This is your opportunity to recharge and to connect with
your inner self. Here you will create the foundation for your abundance and
prosperity.
Rule 12: Give of yourself. Remember that in any relationship
your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. In other words, it is
in the giving of yourself without any attachments or expectations that you
receive the greatest satisfaction and rewards.
These twelve simple
rules, when followed in a consistent manner, will bring you lots of abundance,
prosperity, and happiness. They will create a life experience that you will
gladly look back on. They have certainly helped me in reaching my life and
business goals. It will take time to learn and practice these rules faithfully,
but the time spent will surely pay benefits in your life's journey. Always have
unwavering faith in what you set out to do, as long as it is done for the right
reasons and within the universal rules of ethics.
