Starting off any new week,\u00a0 it’s always good to have a really good motivational poem or quote that can help put things into perspective and motivate you to want to be better.\u00a0 A perfect example of one that works well for any given week is these ten rules written by Thomas Jefferson.<\/p>\n
Thomas Jefferson’s Ten Rules for the Good\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n
1. Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.<\/p>\n
2. Never trouble another for what you can do yourself.<\/p>\n
3. Never spend your money before you have it.<\/p>\n
4. Never buy what you do not want because it is cheap; it will never be dear to you.<\/p>\n
5. Pride costs us more than hunger, thirst, and cold.<\/p>\n
6. Never repent of having eaten too little.<\/p>\n
7. Nothing is troublesome that we do willingly.<\/p>\n
8. Don’t let the evils which have never happened cost you pain.<\/p>\n
9. Always take things by their smooth handle.<\/p>\n
10. When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to one hundred.<\/p>\n
Even thought there are 10 different\u00a0 points, try picking just a few of them to try and implement in your life this week.\u00a0 They’ll give you every reason to feel GOOD!<\/p>\n
