As I search for my life purpose (which will take some time), it really boils down to being happy and the things in life that bring me happiness. Today one of the most exciting things was being introduced to Gretchen Rubin and her blog! She is a writer and author, and is currently working on The Happiness Project (http://www.happiness-project.com/) due to hit bookshelves in 2009.
I read her list of commandments and decided that I would come up with some of my own. I believe my list is complete, for now, but may evolve over time as I continue my journey. I invite you to consider a list of your commandments and sharing them.
My 12 Commandments...
1. Laugh often.
2. Let go and let God.
3. Smile.
4. Set smart goals...and achieve them.
5. Love much and with everything you have.
6. Speak up.
7. Never stop learning.
8. Be the best you can be.
9. Don't live with regret.
10. Guilt is wasted energy.
11. Think, but not too much.
12. Respect others.
Gretchen gives some great tips for starting a list of your commandments on her blog. Love the idea!
hello Monday, goodbye Summer

I wish I could say that I did something super fun to celebrate the
unofficial last day of summer, but I did not, and to tell you the truth,
I'm pretty cool...

I love your commandments. 1 through 12 sound like a great way to live life well!
So I've decided that your list of commandments is too good and I don't want to change anything. Can i live by the same 12 commandments?
Love, Your biggest fan xoxo
Thanks, J.
I would just love to see your list!
Thanks Ashley! You can definately live by my commandments, if they work for you. Glad you like them!
love these! love everything about them. I have been a very bad blogger, so might have to start with these as my new post. Thanks for the inspirations!
