Do You Know the KEY, to The Rules For Living?

by Linda Frame, RN-Medical Content Writer Freelance on April 27, 2015

 

Functioning in life everyday, is different for everyone based on your individual circumstances.  We all know that don’t we.

 

I think we can also agree with that analogy of how different we each handle things, after all, that’s why we are unique, there’s no one else like you.

You have different likes / dislikes, habits, routines, needs, looks, & anything than I do.

 

That is why everyone is so interesting & annoying at the same time.

 

 

Now, if you have any hesitation with the statements above, look around, sit on a park bench, sit & watch in an airport, go anywhere & just watch people.

So, If we all function differently then all of us have different rules for living don’t we?  Are you still with me, keep reading you’ll get it.

 

 

Having your own ‘individual’ rules for living may come by accident, shared information, or how many of us were raised. 

Or maybe you just wing it & if winging it applies to you, then please, definitely keep reading because this might help.

 

 

 

Having ‘rules for living’ can help you organize, help you be more efficient at work o at home, help you get along in a relationship or help with getting along with other people.

 

 

 

Here are few Rules for Living suggestions that may help your standards, morals, functions or where ever you can use them:

 

 

If it will brighten someone’s day, say it.

 

If it’s none of your business, don’t ask questions.

 

If it will tarnish someone’s reputation, keep it to yourself.

 

If you open it, close it.

 

If you turn it on, turn it off.

 

If you unlock it, lock it up.

 

If you break it, admit it.

 

If you can’t fix it, call in someone who can.

 

If you borrow it, return it.

 

If you value it, take care of it.

 

If you make a mess, clean it up.

 

If you move it, put it back.

 

If it belongs to someone else & you want to use it, get permission.

 

If you don’t know how to operate it, leave it alone.

 

 

 

 

To most of us, all of these sound pretty basic, in fact, some of you are probably saying:  “Well yeah, or well duh”…

 

But you know everyone doesn’t have the same ‘Rules for Living’ that someone else does.

 

 

In fact, when I grew up, I honestly thought my father “owned” these rules that I’ve listed….. He lived by them & made sure we followed his rules without question.  My Dad called them ‘rules of efficiency & common sense’.  My Dad was a listener, very gentle & kind, he was quiet & a fixer of anything, but he was also a very smart man.

 

 

So, don’t make so much work for yourself or others, use common sense, & try using the Rules for Living.

 

 

 

 

“Your life, is a reflection of how you live your life”………..

 

 

 

 

See you tomorrow.  

 

 

 

BY THE WAY: Are you having challenges or struggling with things in you life, lost your job, out of money, recovery from injuries with bills coming in overwhelming you, grieving, down or depressed?  I know what you’re going through, I’ve been there, it hurts, its terrifying & you have no clue where to turn.

I honestly have been through this myself.  I was in a tragic accident last year & lost my job / income, my health & mobility.  I was devastated, the bills never stopped coming in & I was drowning in debt.  Sound somewhat familiar?

Let me share with you what I did that literally saved my life.  I’ve been able to completely turn my l life around, get back up, become more successful than ever before & financially free.  CLICK HERE  & pay close attention to this

Is this where you get all your incredible words of wisdom from Linda? Passed down through the ages? I must tell you … reading your blog every day is a true delight!

Linda Frame April 29, 2015 at 1:19 pm

Erica you are always so sweet to me, thank you. Yes, my Dad, Mom & family were absolutely were my initial keys to proper living as far back as I can remember. I only hope I have been able to continue to share their wisdom along with my own life’s lessons & keys, as eloquently as they instilled into me. Thank you for your sweet thoughts, as always.

I LOVE your “rules for living” . Even though people may say they know this or “duh’ as you said, most do not practice these simple steps to not only enriching their lives but enriching the lives of others. Thank you for sharing.

Linda Frame April 29, 2015 at 1:21 pm

You are 100% correct Nancy, they know but they don’t practice them. Sad to say isn’t it but true. I still believe life would not be so hard, if we practiced more common sense & less practice in hurting others. Thank you Nancy for your thoughts, I love that you stopped by.

Great post Linda! I love your writing style…took me back to my childhood listening to my dad’s life rules 🙂

Linda Frame April 29, 2015 at 1:33 pm

I’m so happy Beverely I was able to bring you some ‘happy’ memories today. Thank you for your kind words. My writing style was not frequently not agreeable in all my college communications / English classes, because writing from your heart for a professor’s style, didn’t bring a smile to my soul. However, the studies, though I never learned the eloquence of writing at all, I really can’t consider them a total waste because. The constant debates with those professors, actually taught me that writing from my heart, right or wrong, will eventually relate to those who really are in need of the message within my heart. BTW, they ironically never failed me in those college classes, because of my will & determination to stand up for myself to present a heartfelt message. One of them insisted I write a book, which I never did, because it shouldn’t be that painful to want to write from your soul. Thank you Beverley.

Such words of wisdom Linda. We do all grow up with different rules and mine were pretty much like yours. I often wonder when people do very thoughtless things like leave the shopping trolly in the middle of the car park when they unload their groceries into their car. This is an example of one that bugs me. 🙂 I am like Erica and love your posts.

Linda Frame April 29, 2015 at 1:37 pm

Sue, I always love to hear your interpretations & analogies. I have to agree with you about the lonely shopping cart not put back.. Thank you for your sweet words.

Kristin Procanick April 29, 2015 at 8:24 pm

Wonderful post Linda.

My Dad and your Dad must have been cast from the same mold because he would have agreed totally about The Rules.For Living.

Linda Frame April 30, 2015 at 12:38 pm

Stephan, they knew what they were talking about didn’t they. Thank you for sharing about your Dad.

stephen connell April 30, 2015 at 2:39 am

Nice post Linda.

My Dad would have agreed with The Rules For Living.

Linda Frame April 30, 2015 at 12:39 pm

Your Dad was a very smart man. Thank you Stephen.

Linda Frame April 30, 2015 at 12:41 pm

Thank you Stephen, both our Dads have so much common sense. I miss my Dad.

Chantae Pennell April 30, 2015 at 7:44 am

Loved your rules for living and the name your dad had for them. Some people just have no common sense and I see many of these rules broken everyday, lol. Great post!

Linda Frame April 30, 2015 at 12:40 pm

Chantae, thank you so much, he was an awesome father & role model.
