There are certain things you can do that will make you feel good about yourself. These things are just the opposite of the stuff like greed, selfishness, lust, and laziness, that often leave you feeling guilty, dirty, worthless, empty, and depressed. Those negative things are why there's so much unrest, despair, and discontent in the world.
1) Be disciplined about something. Don't waiver. Be resolute.
2) Do something good for someone, without seeking a reward and or any kind compensation.
3) Go a whole day without eating junk food. Eat only the stuff that's good for you – like fruits, vegetables, cereals, and low-fat meats.
4) Get some exercise.
5) Refrain from using profanity as long as you can.
6) Visit a shut-in or someone who is in a hospital or nursing home.
7) Volunteer for something.
8) Donate some money to a charity or other good cause.

16) Be tolerant of other people's shortcomings.
17) Go the extra mile. Do more than what is required of you.

19) Be willing to take the blame for things that go wrong and allow someone else to take the credit for stuff that works out.
20) Rather than getting into an argument or dispute with someone, proceed under the assumption that you are wrong, until it is proven otherwise.
21) Resist immoral thoughts and behavior.
22) Put yourself last.
23) Live within your means and use credit wisely and sparingly.

Hi Terry will do my best to follow the rules because I need to feel good about myself. But I do get despondent at times when I face rule 24 - I always pay on time but they just keep on coming - then I am afraid it isn't long before rule 5 kicks in.Keep well TerryKacyKacy, thanks so much for reading and commenting.
