7 words that make up 3 simple rules to live by:
Be Kind, Be Healthy, Respect Your Environment
People are always asking me for the secret to health and happiness and the simple truth is just this. If
we can learn to live our lives with these 3 simple rules in mind then
we can achieve happiness. We must come to understand and accept how
these three concepts are intertwined and totally within our control.
I have heard these themes shared in various formats for many years. Most recently I read a report by Joe Simonetta entitled
"Seven words that can change the world" in which he explains his life's
pursuit of an answer for the problems and despair we create in our
lives. He sums it all up to these 3 concepts.
The first is be healthy. We are, each of us, like a cell in the body of
humanity. The health of all of us taken together determines the health
of our species and civilization. These bodies and minds in which we
live may be the most exquisite “machines” on the planet. We abuse them
in ways we wouldn’t dream of doing to our material possessions like our
cars, computers, or our homes. Yet, our bodies and minds are our homes.
Perhaps the reason that we don’t value them more is that we get them
for free. We are given these most prized possessions at birth. By the
time we realize their value, for many of us, it is very late if not too
late. Be healthy. When we are, it is easier to follow the second simple
rule.
The second rule is be kind. The Ten Commandments instruct
us to honor our parents, which is fine. Aside from that they tell us
not what to do but what not to do: thou shall not murder, steal, lie,
commit adultery, or covet. In all our relationships, what we need to do
is simply to be kind. We need to treat each other, our friends and
neighbors, better. We must stop exploiting each other. It doesn’t
matter how much money we have or earn, what size house we live in, what
kind of car we drive, how many academic degrees we may have
accumulated, what accomplishments we may have achieved, or what our
title or position is. Nor does it matter what our gender, race,
religion, age, national origin, sexual orientation, or political
affiliation is. What matters is whether or not we are kind to one
another.
The third simple rule is respect the environment. In
every conceivable way, we are linked to our environment. We evolved
from it. Everything comes from our environment. If we destroy our
environment, we destroy ourselves. Ecological systems will regenerate
but we will be gone. Nature, which couldn’t care less about us, will
have eliminated us. It’s that simple.
Three rules, seven words.
If we follow them, our lives will change. As many of our lives change
our world changes. Be healthy. Be kind. Respect the environment. If you
wish to astonish the whole world, tell people that—the simple truth.
If we learn to take responsibility for the actions and choices we make and begin making them with these rules in mind, the world around us will truly change in magnificent ways.
