The Golden Rule

Life's little lessons:

• The golden rule is a lot harder to follow as you age than at first blush in kindergarten when you learn it five times before you remember it.
• It took me 23 years to discover the golden rule is really one sided.
• The golden rule is not a formula. You cannot use an if/then statement either.
• It would be more aptly named the "how to interact with other humans" rule.
• Why's it golden?
• If by chance you meet a frown, do not let it stay, quickly turn it upside down and smile that frown away. Life's so much easier that way. Although, the headstand is sometimes inconvenient....
• If you listen to what everyone says you should do, you'll never get anything done.
• Words of wisdom:

  "If the cinnamon rolls are gold, it's golden."

  That's living life right there. Stating life is good just because there's cinnamon rolls is saying a lot.
• Changed my life: "We do not the see the world as it is. We see it as we are."
