Life Principles

I have been meditating on a few simple principles that I have learned to live by. I trying to discern them simply so that they are always accessible and communicable.

Put First Things First - Prioritize what is truly important. The inner life is always more important than the external. Change the man and the world will follow.

Live and Let Live - Allow people to be imperfect because they will be anyway. Handle expectations loosely, love the sinner hate the sin.

Be Proactive - Develop life skills based on proven principles not by selfish impulses. Develop a principle-based decision making process not a re-active process. Control of the self is the foremost life skill from which all others eminate.
