The Daily Dozen (Part 2)
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up. Proverbs 12:25
Yesterday I shared with you the first six principles from the life creed of Robert Louis Stevenson. Here are the next six:
7. Don’t borrow trouble. Imaginary burdens are harder to bear than the actual ones.
8. Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish enmities or grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
9. Have many interests. If you can’t travel, read about new places.
10. Don’t hold postmortems. Don’t spend your life brooding over sorrows and mistakes. Don’t be one who never gets over things.
11. Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
12. Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
