The Other 10 Commandments
Thou shall not worry, for worry is the
most unproductive of all human activities.
Thou shall not be fearful, for most of
the things we fear never come to pass.
Thou shall not cross bridges before you
come to them, for no one yet has succeeded
in accomplishing this.
Thou shall face each problem as it comes.
You can only handle one at a time anyway.
Thou shall not take problems to bed with you,
for they make very poor bedfellows.
Thou shall not borrow other people's problems.
They can better care for them than you can.
Thou shall not try to relive yesterday
for good or ill, it is forever gone.
Concentrate on what is happening in your
life and be happy now!
Thou shall be a good listener, for only
when you listen do you hear different ideas
from your own. It is hard to learn
something new when you are talking, and
some people do know more than you do.
Thou shall not become "bogged down"
by frustration, for ninety percent of it is
rooted in self-pity and will only interfere
with positive action.
Thou shall count thy blessings, never
overlooking the small ones, for a lot of
small blessings add up to a big one.

"That a man bow his head like a reed
and lie in sackcloth and ashes?
Do you call this a fast,
a day acceptable to the Lord?
This, rather, is the fasting that I wish:
releasing those bound unjustly,
untying the thongs of the yoke;
Setting free the oppressed,
breaking every yoke;
Sharing your bread with the hungry,
sheltering the oppressed and the homeless;
Clothing the naked when you see them,
and not turning your back on your own."
