Over the years, I have accumulated ten thoughts that guide me in a practical way for day-to-day living. The sources of these steps include the Bible, reading books written by talented authors, and simply living life. Here are those ten thoughts that guide me spiritually on a daily basis.
1. Without vision, the people perish.
2. The choice is ours. We all have choices to make. If our choices take us closer to our vision, they are wise choices. If they take us further away from our vision, they are foolish.
3. Most times, the best use of our time is preventing crises.
4. Spend our time and energy on things we can control. In the things we can’t control, exercise faith.
5. When looking for the best scenario, always strive for a win-win situation.
6. Always try to understand another person’s perspective before sharing our perspective. See both sides.
7. Look for the good in others. Their strengths help fill in the gaps of our own shortcomings.
8. Treat others as they want to be treated.
9. Always continue to develop our minds through continued learning.
10. Things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem. Keep moving forward.
Best regards,
Roger
