LIVE A LIFE THAT MATTERS 2

-








·             Find time to spend with your love ones, family, friends: increase togetherness by watching concerts, dining, playing, and praying. It gives you positive moments and enjoyment.


·             Maintain a bright and cheerful home.


·             Be objective and do not take things too personally. The problem is that you defend yourself to prove that the other person is wrong.


·             Always be a peacemaker.


·             Focus on other people, not just on yourself.


·             Read the Serenity Prayer when you feel pressured.


·             The best things in life aren’t things, but family, friends, and peace of mind.


·             Do good and show acts of kindness everyday.


·             Believe that today is the best day of your life. Cherish it. Enjoy it. Relish it.


·             Follow the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”


·             Always treat others with respect.


·             Uphold human dignity. Nobody in this world is a nobody. Everybody is a Somebody.


·             Forgive without keeping grudges.


·             Be generous with praise.


THE SERENITY PRAYER: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference. (Reinhold Niebuhr)

The scepter shall never depart from Judah, or the mace from between his feet, until tribute comes to him, and he receives the people’s obedience.”     A.             Short Background on the First Reading   1.
