Basic Rules for Daily Living

  • Take some time out for yourself at the beginning of the each day.
  • Live above small troubles by losing yourself in big, worthwhile interests.
  • Grow every day, life is a game-keep your eyes on the ball rather than on the scoreboard.
  • Have power to see things through; keep remembering that most accomplishments are three-fourth drudgery and one-fourth joy.
  • Alternate your interests. It is better to be busy than bored.
  • Balance your life with worship, fellowship, work, play, and love.
  • Be gracious to others; do kind deeds beyond the call of duty; remember that every person is fighting a battle.
  • Talk over your problems with others-confiding friends, fellow saints, and especially, with God.
  • Work and cooperate with God, praying that He will do something through you rather than for you.
