Top Ten Directions for Life

Good morning!

I can't believe that I haven't posted since 30 Sept 2011 - time flies when you're having fun... Ironically, the past two weeks have been challenging, specifically with the passing of an old college friend and a classmate of my daughter's. Whenever I lose someone I care for, I choose to think and feel deeply about what is truly important versus what masquerades as such.

With that being said, I thought I'd list my top ten directions for life; it sounded too cliche to call them ten commandments, plus it smacks of narcissism to believe that what I'm listing is comparable to something divine! These aren't proprietary - you've probably heard them before.

They're worth revisiting - I wrote them down over three years ago, and came back across them during some reading and reflection over the weekend. Since I don't claim one as more important than another, I'm using bullet points in lieu of numbers.

Here they are:

-Too much of ANYTHING is rarely good for you.
  (the only exceptions that come to mind are love, laughter and prayer/meditation)

-Honesty is NEVER the wrong choice.

-If you don't have a clear plan for your life, thn someone else will plan it for you.

-Character is measured by our deeds when no one is watching us.

-Prayer should not only be for asking for things.

-Do not make promises that you cannot or will not keep.

-Self concept begins with both the capacity and willingness to be acutely insightful AND brutally honest.

-Prosperity at the expense of others is not prosperity.

-Less words, more deeds.

-Honor is demonstrated by choosing and living well.

Blessings,
