In my home there is a very old sampler with the words sewn on it that carry an important reminder. I read these words every day. This is what they say:

1. Never give up
2. Be nice to one another
3. Think good thoughts
4. Try to do better
5. Say please and thank you

I must confess that I don’t always follow these rules, but when I do try to follow them, I find that my day goes much better and I enjoy peace and happiness.

So why don’t I do them daily? Well, nobody’s perfect, right? This much I do know: if you want to have a better life and improved relationships every day, following these simple rules just might give you what you are looking for.

This sampler is simple but profound. I believe that following these simple guidelines is a sure way to find peace and happiness. It works!
