Ten Rules to Live By!

If I could detail 10 rules to live by that would guarantee anyone success in this life, would you implement those rules? We all have to remember that it takes a great deal of discipline to “Be Your Best.” It also takes a willingness to sacrifice; successful people in this life are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. In other words, what are you willing to give up in claiming victory or success? There are many books written about taking steps that will lead to success. However, if we would follow the 10 rules below, I 100% guarantee a successful and rewarding life!

1.) Serve only one God!
2.) Stay completely humble in your success, no matter what it is, and always give thanks to those who support you throughout your journey the credit. The minute you think it’s ALL ABOUT YOU, the bubble that you’re surrounded by will surely burst!
3.) Respect that there is a greater power.
4.) Remember to take time to rest, think, pray.
5.) Always give honor to the ones that gave you life, your parents.
6.) Always look for the good in others no matter how hard it is, and automatically others will see the good in you.
7.) Be faithful, loving, and understanding to your spouse.
8.) Operate with honesty and Integrity.
9.) Be truthful in all that you do.
10.) Do not keep up with the Jones!

The 10 rules to live by are easily translated as the 10 commandments. I just wrote them as something a little easier to understand. You probably already recognized them as you read them. There are thousands of self help books that give the many rules or steps for this and that, but if you just start with the 10-commandments and discipline your lives right there, I believe that we will all be on the right path! As I desire happiness and peace, I will start with the 10 commandments as I continue my life’s journey to DO the right thing and to be my best. I have tried it my way, and now I know it is important to try it GOD’s way, I have no choice. I am convinced that the peace, joy and happiness will be found in making my absolute best attempt to live by GOD’s commandments. Now, for many of you that are reading this, you may say that does not make any sense, but it is right there in the word. Proverbs 3: 1-2 states "Keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee." Can you imagine your days filled with the Peace of GOD? GOD’s commandments are the road map that points out the right paths to follow in order to find supreme happiness.

This is not a lesson on the 10 commandments; it is just a plan for successful living as we go into the New Year. Why not start with the word of GOD, he says in Isaiah 55-11 “So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.”

Be Your Best!
