My Pondering
These 13 rules to live are excellent. The headings below are his words taken off his card pictured above. The smaller case and #hashtags are my supplements.
1. Seek first the kingdom of God and all else will be added unto you.
This is a wonderful scripture that from Matthew 6:33 which implores to obey and abide by Commandment #1 – “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength”. When we put God first, amazing things happen.
#FirstThingsFirst
2. Attack each day with enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
Yes 🙌 enthusiasm – passion, vigor, drive, ambition, energy, relentless pursuit of one’s goals.
Bring your A game with all you got.
#GoForIt
3. Who could possibly have it better than you?
NOBODY!
We each were created uniquely by God Himself, in His image for His good works. God doesn’t create junk. You are one of a kind with billions of brain cells, the Holy Spirit (if born again and walking the walk) and even more.
I am far from perfect but because I know and love Who is and He loves me, then I am better than alright. I am endowed from on high.
Yes, my best is good enough, no less…no more.
“If God is for me, who shall be against me.”

4. Better today than yesterday, better tomorrow than today!
Kaizen! I am continuously improving! “Inch by inch, it’s a cinch.”
“Success is journey, not a destination.”
God was there in my past, His is with me now, and He is already there in the future. No Worries.
Renewing my mind daily! Romans 12:2
#Transformational
5. Heroes have no days off.
Trust and true success take a long while to be build. One moment of careless waywardness can crash it in an instant.
Rest and relaxation are essentials. Slacking is not.
Sometimes be a hero, other times be the guide.
Always begin with the end in mind and keep your purposeful mission in mind. Deferring gratification is the stuff heroes are made of.
“There is a SuperHero in everyone”
#Tried&True
6. You fate is in your (head, heart) & hands
“Think, innovate and find solutions. By you talent and effort, you will be known.”
You have been blessed and have the responsibility of freewill. Use it wisely.
1. Head 🧠 – 2. Heart ♥️ – 3. Hands 🙌
1. Up ⬆️ proper mindset for divine wisdom from our Creator
2. In ⬇️ love deep to our soul for peace, purpose and blessing
3. Out ➡️ returning to God and to others for good works
1. Mind [Fluid / Time / Set]
2. Spirit [Vapor / Space / Let]
3. Body [Solid / Matter / Go]
“If it’s to be, it’s up to me…and we”
#JustDoIt
7. Chose a great role model.
Watch ’em, emulate ’em, & make ’em proud!
#LearnDoTeach
8. A smile, being pleasant are small prices to pay for the goodwill and affection of others.
“Be it and you will see it.” is better than “Fake it till you make it”.
#DontWorryBeHappy
9. Discipline yourself daily to be physically (& mentally) fit for life.
If you don’t have your health, you don’t have a lot. We live in physical world and only have one body on this earth. Take care!
#PayNowPlayLater
10. Great Effort = Great Results
Not Win / Lose but rather Win / Learn.
7P’s = Prior-Planning & Proper-Prep. Prevent Poor-Performance

11. Stop trying to win all your fights in the first round
All good things are worth working hard for and don’t usually come immediately.
If it were easy, you wouldn’t be necessary…nor valuable.
The team who wins is the one who thinks they can. No doubt, they will win more than those who think they can’t.
#Persist
12. What we do in life echoes into eternity
What’s does your life song sing?
Your actions speak louder than your words, so use both effectively.
Just do the next best thing…that matters most. Do it now! Do it best!
Your best is all it takes, nothing more – nothing less.
#LifeSong
13. Seek long and trusting relationships by being happy and helpful for the other guy’s success.
A friend in need, is a friend indeed.
