Being a real fan of simplicity I love these very simple insights to the ideal laws of life.....
Life Law #1: You either get it, or you don't.
Become one of those who gets it.
Life Law #2: You create your own experience.
Acknowledge and accept accountability for
your life.
Life Law #3: People do what works.
Identify the payoffs that drive your behaviour and that of others.
Life Law #4: You cannot change what you do not
acknowledge.
Get real with yourself about your life and
everybody in it.
Life Law #5: Life rewards action.
Make careful decisions and then pull the
trigger.
Life Law #6: There is no reality; only perception.
Identify the filters through which you view
the world.
Life Law #7: Life is managed. It is not cured.
Learn to take charge of your life.
Life Law #8: We teach people how to treat us.
Own, rather than complain about how other
people treat you.
Life Law #9: There is power in forgiveness.
Open your eyes to what anger and resentment
are doing to you.
Life Law #10: You have to name it before you can claim it.
Get clear about what you want and take your
turn.
