Life is going to throw you lemons sometimes. Will you make a sour face or add a little sweetener and drink up the lemonade? Sometimes we want so badly for our reality to change. Yet what we don’t realize is that in order for our reality to change our perception and attitude must change. Optimism is a tool to help you make lemonade.

Rule 1 for a Better Way to Live. Count your blessings. Once you realize how valuable you are and how much you have going for you, the smiles will return, the sun will break out, the music will play, and you will finally be able to move forward toward the life that God intended for you… with grace, strength, courage, and confidence.

Rule 2 for a Better Way to Live. Today and every day, deliver more than you are getting paid to do. The victory of success will be half won when you learn the secret of putting out more than is expected in all that you do. Make yourself so valuable in your work that eventually you will become indispensible. Exercise your privilege to go the extra mile, and enjoy all the rewards you receive. You deserve them.

Rule 3 for a Better Way to Live. Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don’t look back at it too long. Mistakes are life’s way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.

Rule 4 for a Better Way of Life. Always reward your long hours of labor and toil in the very best way, surrounded by your family. Nurture their love carefully, remembering that your children need models, not critics, and your progress will hasten when you constantly strive to present your best side to your children. And even if you have failed at all else in the eyes of the world, if you have a loving family, you are a success.

Rule 5 for a Better Way to Live. Build this day on a foundation of pleasant thoughts. Never fret at any imperfections that you fear may impede your progress. Remind yourself, as often as necessary, that you are a creature of God and have the power to achieve any dream by lifting up your thoughts. You can fly when you decide that you can. Never consider defeat again. Let the vision in your heart be in your life’s blueprint. Smile!

Rule 6 for a Better Way to Live. Let your actions speak for you, but be forever on guard against the terrible traps of false pride and conceit that can halt your progress. The next time you are tempted to boast, just place your fist in a full pail of water, and when you remove it, the hole remaining will give you a correct measure of your importance.

Rule 7 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.

Rule 8 for a Better Way to Live. Never again clutter your days or nights with so many menial and unimportant things that you have no time to accept a real challenge when it comes along. A day merely survived is no cause for celebration. You are not here to fritter away your precious hours when you have the ability to accomplish so much…

What are you truly happy about in your life right now? What’s really great in your life today? What are you truly grateful for? Take a moment to think about the answers and notice how good it feels to know that you have legitimate reasons for you to feel great now.

Rule 9 for a Better Way to Live. Live this day as if it will be your last. Remember that you will only find “tomorrow” on the calendars of fools. Forget yesterday’s defeats, and ignore the problems of tomorrow. This is it; make it the best day of your year. The saddest words you can ever utter are, “If I had my life to live over again….” This is your day!

Rule 10 for a Better Way to Live.  Beginning today, treat everyone you meet, friend or foe, loved one or stranger, as if they were going to be dead at midnight. Extend to each person, no matter how trivial the contact, all the care and kindness and understanding and love that you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again.

Rule 11 for a Better Way to Live. Laugh at yourself and at life. Banish tension and concern and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come. Never take yourself too seriously.

Rule 12 for a Better Way to Live. Never neglect the little things. Never skimp on that extra effort, that additional few minutes, that soft word of praise or thanks, that delivery of the very best you can do.  You are special, act it. Never neglect the little things.

Rule 13 for a Better Way to Live. Welcome every morning with a smile. Look on the new day as another special gift from your Creator, another golden opportunity to complete what you were unable to finish yesterday. Be a self-starter. Let your first hour set the theme of success and positive action that is certain to echo through your entire day.

There is a better way to live. To confront each morning with hope shinning in your eyes, to welcome the day with reverence for the opportunity it contains, to greet everyone you meet with laughter and love, to be gentile, kind, and courteous toward friend and foe, and to enjoy the satisfaction of work well done during the precious hours that will never return – that is the way to leave your footprints.

Rule 14 for a Better Way to Live. You will achieve your grand dream, a day at a time, so set goals for each day. .. Be patient, never allow your day to become so cluttered that you neglect your most important goal – to do the best you can, enjoy this day, and rest satisfied with what you have accomplished.

True happiness is to enjoy the present, without dependence upon the future, not to amuse ourselves with either hopes or fears but to rest satisfied with what we have, which is sufficient, for he that is so wants for nothing. ~ Roman Seneca

Rule 15 for a Better Way to Live. Never allow anyone to rain on your parade and thus cast a pall of gloom and defeat on the entire day. Nothing external can have any power over you unless you permit it. Your time is too precious to be sacrificed in wasted days combating the mental forces of hate, jealousy, and envy.

Rule 16 for a Better Way to Live. Search for the seed of good in every adversity. Master that principal and you will own a precious shield that will guard you through all the darkest valleys you must traverse… You will learn things in adversity that you would never have discovered without trouble. There is always a seed of good. Find it and prosper.

Rule 17 for a Better Way to Live. Realize that true happiness lies within you. Waste no time and effort searching for peace and contentment and joy in the world outside. Remember that there is no happiness in having and getting, but only in giving. Reach out. Share. Smile. Hug. Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself.

You don’t have to wait for anyone or anything! You don’t need any special reason to feel good; you can just decide to feel good right now, simply because you are alive, simply because you want to.
