7 Cardinal Rules For Life

1. Make peace with your past…
   so it won’t disturb your present. Your past does not define your future – your actions and beliefs do.
   
2. What other people think of you…
   is none of your business.  It’s how much you value yourself and how important you think you are.
   
3. Time heals almost everything…
   Give it time. Pain will be less hurting. Scars make us who we are; they explain our life and why we are the way we are. They challenge us and force us to be stronger.
   
4. No one is in charge…
   of your happiness. Except you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside.
   
5. Don’t compare your life to others…
   and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we just might grab ours back as fast as we could.
   
6. Stop thinking too much…
   It’s alright not to know the answers. Sometimes there is no answer, not going to be any answer, never has been an answer. That’s the answer! Just accept it, move on, NEXT!
   
7. Smile.
   You don’t own all the problems in the world. A smile can brighten the darkest day and make life more beautiful. It is a potential curve to turn a life around and set everything straight.
