Here are three principles that have helped order my life over 68 years of being alive on this planet of ours:
~Everything in this life is trial and error.
That, of course, means it is necessary to take risks.
It also means that failure will be a part of life.
And so, no trial...no error. Nothing learned.
No risk...no failure. Nothing gained.
And, the status quo is never...ever...the way forward.
~Strategize, and find out what is essential. Sooner, rather than later.
Strategy makes moving forward so much easier.
Develop a strategy for how you will allocate your time, energy, resources, and wisdom.
Put your best efforts into those things that will produce the best and most rewards.
You cannot do everything...but you can give your best to those things that are essential.
~Make sure the folks close to you will give you honest feedback.
Sharpening your life-skills will depend, in no small way, on the family, friends, and colleagues who can and will tell you the truth.
It is a for-sure thing that you will benefit from one, two, or maybe three people who will be open and honest with you about how things really are.
For some folks the who or what that orders their life is ethics.
For some it is parents, or elders.
For some if is tradition.
For some it is religion.
For some it is pragmatism.
For some it is reason.
For some it is law.
For some it is whatever strikes their fancy at the time.
There are many whos and/or whats that would order our lives.
Choose your who or what wisely.
