THE 2nd TEN COMANDMENTS
Author unknown

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 different ideas from your own. (It's hard to learn something new when you're talking.)

Thou shall not become "bogged down" by frustration;
for 90% of it is rooted in self-pity and will only interfere with positive actions.

Thou shall count thy blessings;
never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.
