The Seven Cardinal Rules Of Life
By Stephen R. Covey, author, motivational speaker
1 – Make peace with your past so that it won’t disturb your present.
2 – What other people think of you is none of your business.
3 – Time heals almost everything. Give it time.
4 – No one is in charge of your happiness except for you.
5 – Avoid comparing your life to others and judging others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
6 – Stop overthinking. It’s all right if you don’t know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.
7 – Smile; you don’t own all the problems in the world.
