Mental Feng Shui – post it or else…

Another VERY SNOWY DAY, and lots of work just to get in and out of our yard, which isn’t small by any means..

I did not write this Mental Feng Shui that follows here, my friend e-mailed this to me today.

Instead of sending this forward to my contact list, I decided to post it here.



This Mental Feng Shui came with bunch of normal warnings of horrible luck, if you won’t e-mail it forward to all of your friends. So I would suggest to post it, just in case to cover yourself of good luck for the next 7,7 years. If you link it back to me, you’ll get extra 2,3 years of good luck and fortune.

Really, I promise. This has some great life lessons, so why don’t you play it forward.


Mental Feng Shui


ONE. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.

TWO. Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other.

THREE. Don’t believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want.

FOUR. When you say, ‘I love you,’ mean it.

FIVE. When you say, ‘I’m sorry,’ look the person in the eye.

SIX. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
What the..? I guess this explains the longest-year-ever-syndrome I’m having right now

SEVEN. Believe in love at first sight.

EIGHT. Never laugh at anyone’s dreams. People who don’t have dreams don’t have much.

NINE. Love deeply and passionately. You might get hurt but it’s the only way to live life completely.

TEN.. In disagreements, fight fairly.. No name calling.

ELEVEN. Don’t judge people by their relatives.

TWELVE. Talk slowly but think quickly.

THIRTEEN! .. When someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, smile and ask, ‘Why do you want to know?’
So that’s the trick, I’ll remember this one!

FOURTEEN. Remember that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

FIFTEEN. Say ‘bless you’ when you hear someone sneeze.

SIXTEEN.. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.

SEVENTEEN. Remember the three R’s: Respect for self; Respect for others; and Responsibility for all your actions.

EIGHTEEN. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.

NINETEEN. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

TWENTY. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your voice.
Will they also see if I’m wearing PJ’s?

TWENTY-ONE. Spend some time alone.



This is Day 9 in Blog 365.
