Make as many friends as you can, but don’t build your life on them.
If who I am is what I have and what I have is lost, then who am I?
Security Issues? “Where do we stand?”
Have as many boyfriends/girlfriends as you like…. • Don’t get obsessed with or centered on them • These are usually about as stable as a yo-yo
EDUCATION SHOULD BE A TOP PRIORITY……BUT • Don’t get obsessed!
Real Purpose is to Learn THANK GOODNESS OUR WORTH ISN’T MEASURED BY OUR GPA OR CLASS RANK!
Parents can be the greatest source of LOVE and GUIDANCE……..and • You should respect and honor them…..but • Centering your life or living to please them above all else can be a mistake
STRIVE TO BECOME EXCELLENT BUT REMEMBER….. • THERE’S A FINE LINE BETWEEN HAVING A PASSION FOR SOMETHING AND BASING YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE ON IT
PRINCIPLE-CENTEREDTHE REAL THING • APPLY EQUALLY TO EVERYONE, RICH OR POOR, KING OR PEASANT, MALE OR FEMALE • HONESTY GRATITUDE • SERVICE MODERATION • LOVE FAIRNESS • HARD WORK LOYALTY • RESPECT RESPONSIBILITY
IF YOU LIVE BY THEM YOU WILL EXCEL. • IF YOU BREAK THEM, YOU WILL FAIL.
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART • TRUE PRINCIPLES ARE EASY TO IDENTIFY JUST LISTEN
THEY NEVER FAIL • They don’t play favorites. • They don’t talk behind your back. • They don’t move away. • They don’t break up with you. • They can’t be bought or sold.
PRINCIPLE-CENTERED LIFE • STABLE • IMMOVABLE • UNSHAKABLE • A FOUNDATION YOU CAN BUILD ON
