My Ten Commandments

This was given to our group at rehab & would like to share it. This in no way is an attempt to replace or ridicule God's Ten Commandments. Please take what you like & leave the rest.


Thou shalt not worry,for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

Thou shalt not be fearful,for most of the things we fear
never come to pass.

Thou shalt not cross bridges before you get to them,for
no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this.

Thou shalt face each problem as it comes.
You can handle only one at a time anyway.

Thou shalt not take problems to bed with you,
for they make very poor bedfellows.

Thou shalt not borrow other people's problems.
They can take better care of them than you can.

Thou shalt not try to relive yesterday for good or ill---it is gone.
Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.

Thou shalt count thy blessings,never overlooking the small ones,
for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one.

Thou shalt be a good listener,for only when you listen do you hear
ideas different from your own. It's very hard to learn something
new when your're talking.

Thou shalt not become bogged down by frustration,for 90
percents of it is rooted in self-pity and it will only interfere
with positive action.
