1. Assume that you are loved.
2. Assume that those who love you find some kind of value in you and the things you do.
3. Assume, however, that you don’t need to be valuable in order to be worthy of love.
4. Assume that there is no one out there keeping a tally of all of your failings, ready to throw it in your face when you’re either feeling too good or too awful about yourself.
5. Assume that if anyone actually is keeping a tally of all your failings, that act says more about them than it does about you.
6. Assume that you can’t make all of the people happy all of the time; maybe not even some of the people some of the time.
7. Assume that you will, over the course of your life, sometimes anger or disappoint the people you love.
8. Assume that when this happens, it isn’t the end of the world, even if that’s what it feels like.
9. Assume that there is never an end to learning, or growing, or discovering.
10. Assume that you will always find a way out, even when all the doors slam shut and everything feels impossible.
11. Assume that sometimes earnestness and optimism can trump irony and cynicism.
12. Assume that it’s possible to recapture the way you felt when you were young, how the perfect clockwork mechanism of the universe used to leave you breathless and giddy with wonder.
13. Assume that there will always be more stories to tell, or at the very least new ways of reinterpreting old fables.
14. Assume that nothing is permanent, that someday even the sun will disappear; remember that everything we see and touch and taste is made of stars that grew and pulsed and died long before this planet ever existed.
15. Assume that you are under some kind of obligation to make the world a better place.

Was thinking about NLP and living by “truths” and came across this list of 15 Assumptions to live by. No whether they are actually True or not is irelevent….if you believe them to be true then they will shape your life in that fashion. The power of positive thinking 🙂
nice post , well said 🙂
Such a beautiful post !!!
I will try them out. Thanks for sharing.
Very interesting assumptions, i will try to apply them to real life situations. Thanks for sharing!

I need to print this off and keep it with me.
Perfectly put! If we keep these fifteen things in our mind, I doubt we’ll ever fall into the trap of negativity and sadness. And in order to keep it as a reminder for myself and my readers (who might have missed reading this), I’m going to reblog this post.
Congratulations on being Freshly Pressed.
Have a nice day!
Love all these points, thanks for sharing!

Beautiful!
Excellent choice of photos to go with this! Shared the post on Facebook
liked it very much! Though it all starts with the word “assume” sometimes (assuming) things is a mind setter against making false assumptions about us and living out reality when it strikes the most in our faces not to let us down and out completely. Thank you for writing this and feel good to share it

It is a nice post, I especially liked 15. Assume that you are under some kind of obligation to make the world a better place.

This is great, I agree with everything up to “everything we see was created by the stars….” what about the creator?”
