Everything You Need To Know
You Learned in Kindergarden
All the rules that you need to know about life, love, success and happiness, most of us have already been taught way back in kindergarden. Somewhere along the line, we have failed to process these magic rules and apply them into our lives, and then live by them. Here are a few examples:
1) Always tell the truth
2) Love thy neighbour as thyself
3) Work hard
4) Share & play nice
5) Go to bed on time
Always telling the truth develops integrity and trust. It creates an authentic person that people will impeccably trust, both personally and in business. It creates this world in which there is less stress because doing the right thing becomes easy. Truthfulness becomes a part of a person. Remember the saying, "Your reputation precedes you?" You want truth to be a big part of your reputation and legacy!
Loving thy neighbour as thyself instills respect for other people and teaches us to love ourselves as well. It tells us that we need to take care of those around us when they're in need. Our neighbours can be our physical neighbours in a neighbourhood, or more global, such as our coworkers, our extended family, our children's friends, or the needy here or in other countries.
Working hard is a rule that is typically underrated. A person can never go wrong giving all they've got in every aspect of their life, from work to personal relationships. Don't take shortcuts - always, always go the extra mile!
When we think of sharing, do we think of our personal relationships? We should, because sharing means sharing our time, our energies, and our empathy with those around us. It means giving of ourselves for the benefit of another. Applied in any situation, can only create positivity in the long run!
Our mothers were right after all! Nagging us to get to bed on time was a great piece of advice considering that all the research studies point to the benefits of getting at least 8 hours sleep a night. Weight maintenance, anti-aging effects and a better memory are some of the benefits from a good nights snooze!
Thought for today: Do you always go the extra mile?
