Five Simple Rules for slaves

1. Free your heart from the cares of this world.
    you exist to serve your Mistress, to fulfil all Her wishes, it is your meaning and only purpose
   
2. Free your mind from phantasies.
    you are created by your Mistress, She owns you, you are Her property, tool and plaything

3. Live simply.
    you do not matter, you cannot be without your Mistress, you are nothing without Her

4. Give more.
    nothing is yours, slave, everything belongs to your Mistress

5. Expect less, expect nothing.
    your Mistress acknowledged your poor being, it is your only and infinite blessing


slave, you can never be enough grateful to your Mistress for allowing you to being useful to Her, every day, every minute pray for Her endless largesse, Her infinite grace, Her well being and safety and every second beg for Her most merciful forgiveness of your insufficiency and imperfection, your complete nothingness.

slave, you must be always trying to be perfect servant for your Mistress - but remember, you will never become one. The perfection is granted to Her and you can be only what She allows you to be.
