Climbing the Musical Scale
DO? Do not worry over things that may never happen, and even if they
happen, worry will not help. Do count your blessings before you count
cares.
RE? Radiate good will and a spirit of benevolence. Like laughter, it is
infectious and makes yourself, as well as others, feel better.
ME? Mete kindness, understanding, tolerance, and forgiveness generously.
You reap as you mete.
FA? Far reaching are the therapeutic benefits of spiritual thinking. You
become as you habitually think. Resentment, hatred, spite, envy, and
vengeance pack radioactive fall-out that gnaws at your vitals. They are
self-consuming.
SO? Sow the seeds of love, friendship, empathy, and helpfulness. These
hardy seeds take root in the crustiest ground.
LA? Laugh at yourself now and then. He who can laugh at himself is less
apt to be at war with himself. Laugh at yourself, even if you don’t feel
like laughing.
TI? Teach yourself awareness and appreciation of all the wonders of
nature. Be thankful for the precious gift of life. Genuine gratitude and
discontent are never found together.
DO? Do not expect someone else to open the door to happiness for you. You
alone have the key. Turn it.
