My Commandments

The next step in my Happiness Project is to write my commandments. After much deliberation (and because I attended 16 years of Catholic school), I came up with ten:

1. Be Melissa.

2. I have to take care of me before I can take care of anyone else.

3. Everything happens for a reason.

4. Patience is a discipline.

5. It is OK to ask for help.

6. Let it go.

7. Change your hair, change your life.

8. Focus on now.

9. What if does not exist.

10. I deserve to be happy.

I'm not carving them in stone because they may evolve but I think this sums it up. I'm also not sure I truly believe them all but that takes faith, doesn't it? I'm a work in progress!
