10 Rules For A Happy Day
Posted on November 18, 2007 at 12:13 pm .1. TODAY I WILL NOT STRIKE BACK:
If someone is rude, if someone is impatient, if someone is unkind… I will not respond in a like manner.
2. TODAY I WILL ASK GOD TO BLESS MY “ENEMY”:
If I come across someone who treats me harshly or unfairly, I will quietly ask GOD to bless that individual. I understand the “enemy” could be a family member, neighbor, co-worker or stranger.
3. TODAY I WILL BE CAREFUL ABOUT WHAT I SAY:
I will carefully choose and guard my words being certain that I do not spread gossip.
4. TODAY I WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE:
I will find ways to help share the burden of another person.
5. TODAY I WILL FORGIVE:
I will forgive any hurts or injuries that come my way.
6. TODAY I WILL DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE, BUT I WILL NOT DO IT SECRETLY:
I will reach out anonymously and bless the life of another.
7. TODAY I WILL TREAT OTHERS THE WAY I WISH TO BE TREATED:
I will practice the golden rule - “Do unto others as I would have them do unto me” - with everyone I encounter.
8. TODAY I WILL RAISE THE SPIRITS OF SOMEONE WHO IS DISCOURAGED:
My smile, my words, my expression of support, can make the difference to someone who is wrestling with life.
9. TODAY I WILL NURTURE MY BODY:
I will eat less; I will eat only healthy foods. I will thank GOD for my body.
10. TODAY I WILL GROW SPIRITUALLY:
I will spend a little more time in prayer today: I will begin reading something spiritual or inspirational today; I will find a quiet place (at some point during this day) and listen to GOD’s voice!!!

Hi, Zafar! I’m from Pakistan, as well… This is my first time, to stumble upon your site.
These 10 rules for a Happy Day seems Irony to me… Since it’s the teaching of Islam… I can only presume that you were inspired to write this because of the teachings of Islam, i.e. Qur`an and Sunnah?
Apart from it. I think these 10 rules are a bit hard to follow… But they really can make a persons life worth living.

Ah, okay… No problem
But I’ll stick to what I said. Who can ensure that your friend wasn’t inspired or something?

And one more thing…. If you are atheist, then I think you will not agree with some of the points, mentioned above. Because your “friend” has mentioned God, in few of them…
