Commandments? Do I *look* like Charlton Heston?
I don't know if I *have* ten...I don't think I've ever set them down before. But, it seems an interesting and introspective meme. I might learn something.:)
1) They are not you. You are not them. This is important.
2) Don't be abusive of someone's heart. Even if you don't care for hym at all, respect the emotion. (This one is suspended in cases of abuse, manipulation and stalking.)
3) Be nice, kind and polite as often as possible.
4) Don't be afraid to *not* be nice, kind or polite if the situation warrants it.
5) Don't be a jerk if you can possibly help it.
6) Own your words and take responsibility for your actions.
7) Tell the people in your life how you feel about them. Sure, they might know...but being reminded that you're loved, liked or respected isn't a bad thing.
8) Love is a verb. (Credit to Pat Kight.:)
9) Don't be afraid to modify or change your dreams. Don't be afraid to stubbornly refuse to change them, either.
10) You're better than you think. You're smarter than you know. And you are loved.

I have more!
12) Don't feel guilty about *not* standing up for yourself. Sometimes, you just can't.
13) Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about who or what you love. (Standard disclaimer when dealing with love and such applies.)
14) This is *your* life, and only the people you choose get to have a say in what happens.
15) Bubbles are a goodness.
16) Dissing something that someone has said was important to them isn't cool.(Obviously this is an "In front of them" rule...and what goes on inside my head is always my own.:)
17) If you have the urge to dance, sing or be silly, go for it. Unless you're somewhere that would be *really* inappropriate. Then do it in your head or under your breath 'til you're somewhere safe.:).
18) If you have a chance to make someone hurt less or feel better, take it.
19) Indulge once in a while.
20) Do what makes you happy as often as you possibly can.
Gesi...what can I say? I'm an overachiever.;)
Re: I have more!
I'm enjoying reading this meme, though I'm not sure if I'm going to do it. My first instinct is to invoke All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten.
