- Thou shall not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
- Thou shall not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
- Thou shall not cross bridges before you come to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.
- Thou shall face each problem as it comes. You can only handle one at a time anyway.
- Thou shall not take problems to bed with you, for they make very poor bedfellows.
- Thou shall not borrow other people's problems. They can better care for them than you can.
- Thou shall not try to relive yesterday for good or ill, it is forever gone. Concentrate on what is happening in your life and be happy now!
- Thou shall be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is hard to learn something new when you are talking, and some people do know more than you do.
- Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration, for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive action.
- Thou shall count thy blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to big ones.

Great advice! Clicked on Bobby McFerrin so I could listen to him singing while I read this post-- (VERY uplifting!--I recommend it highly)
Never can get enough of hearing this, since worry is such an ingrained habit...

Hi Shiela,
Yes, these are practical and very doable commandments. It just take plain common sense to see that they are indeed needed by everyone. Sometimes, life's constant grind have overshadowed the simple things in life which can make us happier and less stressful. Thanks for the practical post. God bless you always.

Hi Shiela,
I just listened to Que Sera Sera by Doris Day and I just had a wonderful time reliving the past. It's nice to reminisce our childhood days. Life was much simpler and joyous then than now. Thanks again and God bless.
