As we fly into the New Year I am reminded of the 20 important rules that I try to live by.  I thought I would share them with you:

1. Be in the moment
2. Everyday be thankful for the small things
3. Make someone else feel special each day
4. Recognize everyday miracles
5. Breath deeply
6. Think before you speak
7. Revisit your goals everyday
8. Mean what you say and say what you mean
9. Be clear when you speak

10.  Do what you say you are going to do

11.  If you do something good or nice, do it because it feels good to your heart, not to get recognition

12.  Be humble about your accomplishments – get your satisfaction from yourself, not from others

13.  Use your ears twice as often as your mouth

14.  Be your best in EVERY moment

15.  Focus on improving yourself, rather than “fixing” others

16.  Accept others for who they are

17.  Don’t make mountains out of mole hills

18.  Learn to let go of things that cause you pain or frustration

19.  Ask questions
