I have been searching for a religion that will fit my beliefs, but I think maybe I should put more focus on a positive way to live, because I know what I believe.

I have created a short list of rules I try to live by and just good basic practices:

Do unto others as you would have done unto you: You can’t go wrong with the Golden Rule. This goes hand in with ‘practice random acts of kindness.’

Bloom where you are planted: make the most of the hand you are dealt, do your absolute best and continually give thanks for the blessings.

Accept what you cannot change. Realize that some people are never going to be the people you thought they might be and be ok with that.

(from the Four Agreements:)
Be Impeccable With Your Word: Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

Don’t Take Anything Personally: Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering.

Don’t Make Assumptions: Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness, and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.

Always Do Your Best: Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse, and regret.
