Happy living
Do not think happiness depends on money and position and the things you can afford to buy. Do recognize the ill effect of concentrating on this side and neglecting your human relationships so that those close to you may not think they have ceased to matter.
Do not think you have to be important, in the forefront of everything than the rest. Do recognize how this attitude brings you into competition with people and gives rise to bad feeling.
Do not think that everything you do has to be perfect. Do recognize how much tension and anxiety this generates inside you so that you may end up incapable of enjoying anything.
Do recognize how much better it is to accept the unavoidable with good humor. Take pride in adapting yourself to circumstances.
Do not think that people notice everything you do. Do recognize that people can be too busy with their own affairs, which makes them equally unlikely to notice your mistakes.
Discourage that sense of self importance which makes you feel hurt when people do not notice what you want them to see.
Do not think everybody should be kind to you and treat you as a special person. It is asking for unhappiness to go around expecting everybody to be nice to us.
