live your OWN life....for no matter what you do/say/think/feel, someone SOMEWHERE will criticize you for it; thus, LIVE YOUR OWN LIFE..
SMILE at others; no, not like an idiot, but a sincere smile. YOUR SMILE MAY BE THE ONLY ONE THEY SEE TODAY!!!!
treat everyone as if they were a friend; not a close friend, but a friend; don't act 'different' around strangers but like you know them at least a little.......this 'vibe' will come across to them and you'll be seen as someone positive!!!
It struck me strongly when I first heard it as a youngster. It's stayed with me and I still try to live by The Golden Rule - - Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto You.
And The Serenity Prayer is a lifeline for me - - God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.
