12 Better Life Commandments - Do You Have Yours?

One of my favorite blogs to read is Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project.  As part of her Happiness Project, Gretchen developed twelve happiness commandments (you can read hers just under her picture on her blog), and I thought that this was a great idea, so I came up with my own "Better Life Commandments":

1. Live my own life
2. Believe
3. Accept my imperfections
4. Spend more time with family and friends
5. Be healthy
6. Do the right thing
7. Continuously learn
8. Embrace healthy confrontation
9. Be a role model for the girls
10. Live within my means
11. Smell the roses, hear the music
12. Do it now!

While the list may change as the days pass, I think this is a great starting point.  I know that my life will be better every day if I follow these twelve commandments.  In a future post, I will explain what these commandments mean to me and why I chose them.

I recommend developing your own happiness or better life commandments.  What commandments do you follow?
