HANDBOOK 2009
1. Drink plenty of water. 2. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
3. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Make time for prayer.
6. Play more games.
7. Read more books than you did in 2008.
8. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
9. Sleep for at least 7 hours each night.
10. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day and while you walk, smile.
11. Don't compare your life to the lives of others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
12. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
13. Don't over do. Keep your limits.
14. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
15. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
16. Dream more while you are awake.
17. Envy is a waste of time - we already have all we need.
18. Forget issues of the past and don't remind your partner with his/her past mistakes. That will ruin your present joy.

20. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
21. No one is in charge of your joy except you.
22. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn - problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
23. Laugh more - lots more. You can't cry if you're laughing!
24. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.

27. Forgive everyone for everything.

29. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
30. What other people think of you is none of your business.
31. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your family and friends will. Stay in touch.
32. Do the right thing (ALWAYS - even if it's not the popular thing to do)!
33. Get rid of any possession that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful. NOTE: This does not apply to people!
34. GOD can heal anything.
35. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
36. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
37. The best is yet to come - plan on it!
38. When you awake alive in the morning, thank GOD and resolve to use the day for good and For His Glory! :)
