16 Simple / Inspirational Rules Of Life

I recently was in Memphis eating breakfast at the Blue Plate Cafe (I highly recommend) and came across the following rules of life.

1. Wake up. Show Up. Pay Attention.
2. Be happy and have fun! - Life is a trip - enjoy the journey.
3. Learn, master, and play by the rules.
4. Get an education. - Knowledge and wisdom are the key.
5. Work hard. Work smart. Never quit. - Nothing good comes easy.
6. The "Circle Theory" is in effect. - Integrity. Never lie, cheat or steal, especially yourself.
7. Know your weakness and overcome them. - Power is when you ask for help and use it.
8. Learn a skill, trade or profession you love and master it.
9. Deadly Sin - Doing wrong when you know right.
10. Don't judge and learn how to forgive. - Surrender to win.
11. Never sweat the small stuff. - Most of it is small stuff.

13. Acquire patience and serenity. - Learn to be still, be quiet, be at peace and meditate.
14. Make a negative a positive and learn from the past.
15. Develop self discipline. - Do what you're supposed to do, not what you want to do, until what you're supposed to do is what you want to do.
