Rules to live by

The manifesto

1. Be honest- very important
2. Believe in fairytales- I believe in fairytales it's hard to think in happy endings but they are possible
3. Accept time as your friend and not your enemy- so true. Often times we are running around racing to do this or that. Or we are waiting for something to happen judging how much time we have to do stuff. But the truth is you never know what will happen so it's good to relax and not try to fight with time because you will inevitably lose anyway.
4. Promote beauty weigh the campaign against ugliness- I don't quite get this one. But I think it means to see the beauty in things and to promote seeing beautiful things.
5. Abandon the pursuit of happiness- because happiness is an emotion it comes and goes it's not tangible and real it's a feeling. Like being sad and angry they are feelings not things we can do. But you can pursue dreams that can hopefully make you happy. But being happy is something already there inside of us not something to be found. "You make yourself happy" Like peace and spirituality it can't be found in a church or a book or even our mind it's already there just waiting for us to make use of it.
6. Make sure the nookies good- this made me smile. But it's so true!
7. Show compassion- it's important to show kindness to others and even to you. All people are guilty of having bad days and not being kind or nice but even a smile or simple hello can really change your day around. Putting yourself in other people's shoes realizing things are not as bad as they sometimes seem.
8. Be willing to admit when you are wrong- so many people want to be right that they never admit when they shouldn't have said or done something. But a part of life is taking responsibility for your words and actions and saying sorry when you know you are wrong.
