| 1. Develop yourself by self-discipline. |
| 2. Joy comes through creation -- sorrow through destruction. Every
living thing can grow: Use the world wisely to realize soul growth. |
| 3. Do things which are hard to do. |
| 4. Entertain upbuilding thoughts. What you think about when you do
not have to think shows what you really are. |
| 5. Do your best this hour, and you will do better the next. |
| 6. Be true to those who trust you. |
| 7. Pray for wisdom, courage, and a kind heart. |
| 8. Give heed to God's messages through inspiration. If self-indulgence,
jealousy, avarice, or worry have deadened your response, pray the Lord
to wipe out these impediments. |
| 9. True friends enrich life. If you would have friends, be one. |
| 10. Faith is the foundation of all things -- including happiness. |
