The following are my life rules (Beliefs, values and standards)
Rule 1
The future is not set in stone, tomorrow is a new day! Right now is the most important time in your whole life, yesterday is just a memory, and tomorrow is just a dream, but now, right now, in this one moment, it’s real….. It’s the very moment you turn your dreams into your memories.
Rule 2
You are what you do, not what you say you will do!
Rule 3
What have you done today to make your tomorrow better?
Rule 4
Everything in life is a tool. Learn to use them creatively.
Rule 5
It’s always better to be overdressed than underdressed! You can always dress something down in the moment if you really need to.
Rule 6
Influence, persuade and ask people if you want them to do something. Enlighten them to how it adds value to their life as well as yours.
NEVER, manipulate, control or tell people what to do. It adds no value to their life, it is detrimental to or implies penalties on them.
It’s important to understand the differences in case anybody tries to accuse you of the above.
Rule 7
NEVER judge people. Everyone on this planet has the right to live their life the way they choose.
NEVER intentionally harm or offend anyone. Where practically possible do not cause anyone to change the way they live their life. Never ever, tell someone what to do! (See rule 6)
Should you choose to “take” offence to the way another person lives their life, first remember the above points. You should, with the minimum of disruption, change your own way of life so you are no longer offended. Remember, if you choose to take offence, it’s your problem, not theirs!
Rule 8
Beware of those who demand you change your life to solve their problem! It’s their problem, not yours. don’t let them convince you otherwise.
Rule 9
You may or may not be responsible for the things that happen in your life. You are responsible for how you choose to respond/react to those events, and the consequences that follow. Never try to pass your responsibility or your responsibility for the consequences onto others. Remember, it’s your responsibility, not theirs!
Rule 10
Life is like a game of cards. Some people will complain and bitch about the hand they are dealt. Smart people will play that hand to the best of their abilities. (See rule above)
Rule 11
There are only 3 things you “need” in life! 1, Shelter/clothing. 2, food/water. 3, companionship. Everything else is something you “want”, you don’t need it to survive.
Rule 12
Always remember these 3 types of people;
Those who helped you in difficult times, those who left you in difficult times, and those who created the difficult times.
Rule 13
Never make it personal, don’t use insults, stick to the facts, and focus on the solution, not the problem. What is the outcome you want?
Rule 14
Insults from others are a compliment (remember to say thank you). It means the other person no longer has a credible argument.
Rule 15
Everything in life is a negotiation. There will be one of 3 outcomes, yes, no, let's negotiate further.
You can ask for anything as long as you understand the answer could be no, and you are prepared to accept that unconditionally.
Rule 16
You always have a minimum of 3 options in life (yes, no, let's negotiate further). Anyone who tells you differently is lying.
Rule 17
You may sometimes feel lonely, but you are never alone, you will always be your own best friend (BFF).
