3) Never let an opportunity pass to say a kind word, and some day you will look back with joy and not regret.

5) Be cheerful. Don’t dwell on your aches and pains; everybody has trouble. There are people in the nearest hospital who would gladly swap places with you.

7) Discourage gossip, it’s destructive.
8) Be sensitive to the feelings of others. If you do, people will consider you to be wise.
9) Pay no attention to ill-natured remarks about you. Live so that nobody will believe them.
10) Don’t worry about getting the credit, just keep giving your best and be patient. God records and God rewards!
“Most of us use ‘I’m waiting for God to reveal His calling on my life’ as a means of avoiding action. Did you hear God calling you to sit in front of the television yesterday? Or to go on your last vacation? Or exercise this morning? Probably not, but you still did it. The point isn’t that vacations or exercise are wrong, but that we are quick to rationalize our entertainment and priorities yet are slow to commit to serving God.” — Francis Chan, Crazy Love (via set-apartgirl)
