Top 6 Rules for Life-Part One

I have been away for a bit but am back with the full intent to be a consistent blogger.
I really enjoy it but sometimes just don't take the time to do it in lieu of other things. Here and now that changes. With the thought of reorganizing my thoughts and priorities I wanted to present a list of the top 6 rules for life. ( not that I couldn't think of 10-just wanted to do something different--read on and you'll get it)

1. Have Fun!
For the good of all around you have fun. Don't take yourself too seriously. Remember that life in Christ is to be lived full of joy. Act accordingly. Take the time to laugh. Take the time to read. Take the time to be outside. Do something you enjoy and have fun doing it. You might even try something new and discover a world of fun that you didn't know was there. Try it-Mikey did-and he liked it.

2. Let Go.
Learn to let go of the little things throughout a day that annoy you. People are people and we are all different. We all have our quirks and eccentricities that make us who we are. Learn to accept these things in others-people will in turn be more accepting of you. You may not like these things but you can get around them without letting them upset your daily apple cart. Think of a ridiculous story that you have heard--especially one from a kid--and laugh a little and let those annoyances fall away from you. It's just not worth holding onto. Life is too short too let anger, annoyance, jealousy or perceived wrongs rule you and determine the course (or alter the course) of your day.

3. Move ahead-nothing to see here!
Let's settle it-the past is past and nothing we do now will change it. Live for the present and the future. Look to what is ahead and not what is behind. Paul had some good words on this. Looking behind is like dragging a heavy weight behind you-it does no good and only serves to slow you down and keep you from attaining the great things in your future. Think about how bad some roadways are now--imagine of everyone was looking behind them while driving--it would be chaos--probably slightly worse than it is now. The lunacy of looking back while driving is readily apparent--why would it be different with our lives? Focus forward. Move Ahead.

I will stop here for today. Be looking for the rest of the list in the coming days.

Make sure to put these things in play today and see how much more freedom you feel.
