Nick’s Ten Rules for Life
Okay, so I’m not going to claim that I have this life thing figured out. Not by a long shot. But I have learned a thing or two along the way, and I thought that I’d share with you ten of the things that I’ve managed to figure out.
I’m not going to claim that these ten things will make you happy. I’m not going to say that I even follow these ten things very well. I will say, though, that they are, on the aggregate, some pretty good advice.
Always Be Grateful
If I could pass on one single thing to you fine people, it would be this. There are a lot of things I don’t want to be, but ungrateful is at or close to the top of the list. Being grateful is a key to happiness in this life. If you aren’t grateful, then you are, well, ungrateful. Being ungrateful is no way to live. Gratefulness leads to humility and thankfulness. Those are good things.
Everybody is different.
Everybody. Not one person on this planet is like another. People aren’t defined by their race, their gender, or their class. Everyone is a unique individual that deserves respect. Not everyone will think or act the way that you want them to. Accepting this, and accepting everyone where they stand, is the way to go.
