I have my guide to THE Law in the Ten Commandments; the following ten tips go some way towards practicalities: 10 things that might help you do everything better… 1. Don’t interrupt other people’s sentences…. People go to therapists because they feel no one is listening to them. Give friends, family and co-workers respect and listen! to what they have to say. They’ll be amazed and your relationships will benefit. 2. Make peace with imperfection… Life is rarely as you want it to be. It’s just one thing, after another. Always has been, always will be. The sooner you can accept that, the better. 3. When you die your in tray won’t be empty… People leave work depressed if they haven’t done everything. Everyone has the same 1440 minutes in a day. Just do the best you can with them. 4. Be the first to act loving or reach out… This is important. We’re all stubborn. “I’m not going to be nice because they’re not being nice to me.” It’s madness. Be first to start the process – you’ll feel good and bring out the best in yourself and in others too. 5. Ask yourself this – “Will this matter a year from now?”… Unless someone is extremely sick, terminally ill, or dead most of the things you’re upset about now won’t matter in an hour, let alone tomorrow. 6. Be aware of the snowball of your thinking… Don’t blow things out of proportion. Dwell on an unimportant event and it quickly turns into a big deal and you don’t realise it’s happening … until the consequences arrive. 7. Let go of the idea that relaxed people can’t be super-achievers… There is myth that unless you’re mean, jumping on people, criticising everything you won’t get on. A relaxed person has a calmer wisdom, access to greater common sense and sees solutions more easily. Try to show a little more tenderness in all that you do. 8. Choose being kind over being right… People are obsessed with being right and proving it. Therefore, everyone else has to be wrong. If you want to be peaceful and happier, allow others to be right some of the time. It helps us all when we think about how others are feeling about what we do and say. 9. Every day, tell one person something you like or appreciate about them… You have to make this a habit. Turn all of your attention to what’s right in your life, not what’s wrong. Even if you don’t receive a compliment in return you will still feel good and happier about who you are. 10. Live this day as if it were your last… … and treat your friends, co-workers, colleagues and contacts as if it might be their last too. It might well be... When you spend time with anyone, or talk with anyone, try to be nice – you’d really regret it if your last conversation was spiteful, mean or nasty.
