The 4th Quarter is here! Time to push and finish the year strong! We finish this week strong talking about centering our lives on our principles. Our principles don't change or react to anything. They don't get mad at us. They give a strong foundation. Check out the website for more content www.bcbousa.com
RECAP
Yesterday we discussed all the different type of "centers" we can have in our lives. Whether it be our spouse, family, job, money, pleasure, or self all of them are reactive and can change and influence our well-being. By centering our lives on our principles we can create a solid foundation for development and happiness. Principles don't react to anything. They don't get mad at us. They won't cheat on us and run away with some other guy. They also don't depend on our environment or the behavior of others. They are rock solid and by centering our focus on them it will allow us to strengthen and develop our life support factors of security, guidance, wisdom, and power.
Our security, guidance, and wisdom come from knowing that we are making decisions based on the correct principles that guide our lives. We are not being reactive. As humans, we all have limitations, but we know that we can push the borders of those limitations by learning and growing. This is in both a physical and mental sense. We can learn new skills, read more books, run farther, etc. We make decisions on how to push our limitations based on our principles and it guides us down the correct path.
Our power (or influence) is only limited by the consequences of our actions. We have freedom to make any choice we want, but we need to be willing to live the consequences of those choices. Good or bad. All four life factors tie together to allow us to make decisions based on our strong sense of self-worth, our wisdom from past experiences, and the expectation of what will happen. We all know that everything doesn't always turn out as planned, but the more often we spend time living a principled centered life, more often than not good things will follow.
