LESSON-4
SEVEN WAYS TO CULTIVATE A MENTAL ATTITUDE THAT WILL BRING YOU PEACE AND HAPPINESS
rule no 1 : Let's fill our minds with thoughts of peace, courage, health, and hope, for "our life is what our thoughts make it."
rule no 2 : Let's never try to get even with our enemies, because if we do we will hurt ourselves far more than we hurt them. Let's do as General Elsenhower does: let's never waste a minute thinking about people we don't like.
rule no 3 : (A) Instead of worrying about ingratitude, let's expect it. Lets remember that jesus healed ten lepers in one day and only one thanked Him. Why should we expect more gratitude than jesus got?
(B) Let's remember that only way to find happiness is not to expect gratitude but to give for the joy of giving.
(C) Let's remember that gratitude is a "Cultivated" trait; so if we want our children to be greatful, we must train them to be greatful,
rule no 4 : Count your blessings not your troubles!
rule no 5 : Let's not irritate others Let's find ourselves and be ourselves, for "envy is ignorance" and "imitation is suicide."
rule no 6 : When fate hands us a lemon, let's try to make a lemonade.
rule no 7 : Let's forget our own unhappiness by trying to create a little happiness for other. "When you are a good to others, you are best to yourself."
