Success

THREE GUIDING PRINCIPLES OF LIFE: 1. DON’T HURT YOURSELF AND DON’T HURT OTHERS. This begins at the physical level: don’t hit people; don’t steal from them; don’t hit yourself in the head with a hammer. These are fairly easy to define. Then it moves to a more subtle level: don’t put things in your body you know are not good for you; keep your body away from situations you know aren’t good for it, etc. It continues onto mental and emotional levels: don’t judge yourself or others; knock off the guilts and resentments. 2. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF SO YOU MAY HELP TAKE CARE OF OTHERS. Physically: get enough (but not too much) food, enough water, enough exercise, enough rest. Mentally and emotionally: praise yourself for work well done; enjoy each moment; love yourself. If you’re not taking care of yourself first, you won’t be able to help take care of others. If you really don’t take care of yourself, others will be helping to take care of you. 3. USE EVERYTHING FOR YOUR UPLIFTMENT, LEARNING, AND GROWTH. Everything. Everything. EVERYTHING . No matter what you do, no matter how stupid, dumb, or damaging you judge it to be, there is a lesson to be learned from it. No matter what happens to you, no matter how unfair, inequitable, or wrong, there’s something you can take from the situation and use for your advancement.
