FOR A BETTER WAY TO LIVE (RULE SEVEN)


For a Better Way to Live

Each day is a special gift from God, and while life may not always be fair, you must never allow the pains, hurdles, and handicaps of the moment to poison your attitude and plans for yourself and your future. You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity, and the sour sound of whining will certainly frighten away any opportunity for success. Never again. There is a better way to live.

Persons who never find joy in what they are doing might always feel that life isn't really fair, right?!

Sometimes, you might be working too hard instead the other gets the credit. Sometimes, your best might not be enough. You feel that you have fallen into a bad hand, the problem is you got one. The problem is that we always compare in bad spirit. We compare to make us more envious rather than more inspired.

Be the best of whoever you are. Always bear in mind that whoever you are in this world, you serve to complete the beautiful picture puzzle of this world. I may again remind you that however unfortunate you are and you feel – somebody out there is willing to bargain with you.

Here's a poem suggested by Og Mandino. This serves him a lot every time the sting of discontentment and grudges towards life:


Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair.
I envied her, she seemed so gay, and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave, I saw her hobbled down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
And as she passed... a smile.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 legs, the world is mine

I stopped to buy some candy. The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me, "I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you. You see," he said, "I'm blind."

Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.

Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word. And then I knew,
he couldn't hear.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.
With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.

Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, the world is mine...

Certainly, there is Better Way to Live!
