Sanna,
Very easy to write.
Much, much, much more difficult to do.
Simple rules? I think not.

Its the execution that will tax your soul.

Notice how he evades the "expect less" part....

I saw an act of faith today. A man was on his knees, not in a pew in a Church, but in a garden planting seeds. ~~Unknown

Hatred I dont have, but what about dislike? Is disliking someone or something OK ?
Worries I wouldnt have if I didnt care. When I care for someone, its only natural that I will worry about that person. So how can I free myself from that? Stop caring?
Live simply, that I can try to do.
Give more, that I try to do everyday.
Expect less, does that mean I wont want/expect my children to do well ?
Guess I can try a bit harder ?
Thanks Sanna
Annette

You can tell that I love doing soul-searching, don't ya?
That title "simple rules" is not created by me; that is its original title.
I can see that this post has made you think about happiness. I'm glad. 
When I saw this message on the Beliefnet message list email, I wanted to post it here because I felt that today we have been dealing with many serious issues, which is good, but can get to you. So I thought that thinking about happier issue would made a nice balance.
I'm currently reading Byron Katie's novel "Loving What It Is. Four Questions That Can Change Your Life". That's how I'm getting relaxed this Friday...
Hugs,
Sanna
