Breath for Ultimate Happiness

That’s what we do so naturally. But, we forget the most important reason why we’re breathing and for whom? 

We all have a purpose in life far greater than any pain. Don’t let your struggle, keep you from your blessings.

We’ve all seen the 7 Cardinal Rules of Life. But, here’s an expanded list of additional rules I found that we should all aspire to live by to achieve our ultimate happiness.

• Be the person you want to be, because you have to see that person every day.
• Stay true to yourself, because no one respects a follower.
• Treat your body like a temple, because you only have one. And, it too has a time clock.
• Be nice to your parents, because you never know how long you have with them.
• Cherish love when you find it, because it’s rare.
• Always take the high road, because the low road is never as fun.
• Share your wealth with your loved ones, because it’s never fun spending it alone.
• Never place happiness on material possessions, because they usually break.
• Remember those who helped you, because they haven’t forgotten.
• Help those in need, because you never know when you’ll need them.
• Stop thinking so much, because your thoughts are the root of most of your problems.
• Choose kindness, because bad words make even worse enemies.
• Follow your heart, because there’s no better guide.
• Give thanks, because it’s way better than asking for forgiveness.
• Never lie, because you’ll always get caught.
• Tell your parents you love them, because that’s all they wants to hear.
• Sing when you feel like singing, because your voice is meant to be heard.
• Dance like nobody’s watching, because that’s how our bodies should move.
• Always speak from your heart, because there’s no equivalent substitute.
• Never cry over spilled milk, because it’s just milk.
• Forget those who did you wrong, because they definitely forgot you.
• Don’t discredit anyone or break loyalty, because you might need a job some day.
• Keep your enemies close, because there’s no better place to keep your eyes on them.
• Go to bed early, because it’s easier to get up in the morning.
• Find the silver lining, unless there’s a golden one.
• Never judge on first impressions, because people always surprise you.
• Be prepared for the worst but don’t expect it, since it’s always better to be surprised than disappointed.
• Forgive those who hurt you, because you’re only hurting yourself at this point.
• Never follow the crowd, because you’re better than that.
• Don’t rely on appearances, because beauty fades for everyone.
• Ask questions, because they’re the precursor to answers.
• Respect your elders, because they’re smarter than you.
• Make your own path, because it’s the only way to where you want to go.
• Remember the good times, because bad times will give you an ulcer.
• Work hard, because nothing good comes from being lazy.
• Dream big, because small dreams are never worth the chase.
• Start today, because tomorrow may never come.
• Think for yourself, because you’re smarter than everyone else.
• Be a dreamer, because no one likes a realist.
• Think before speaking, because it always helps your case.
• Don’t take life too seriously, because when it’s over you’ll feel like a fool.
• Be a good friend, because the world needs more. There isn’t a world of good people out here.
• Look people in the eye, because everywhere else will seem disrespectful.
• Breathe and be happy, because that’s the whole point.
