HOLD FAST
When we have a moral compass it is not too difficult to draw a line and stand strong against the storms that rage. It really is a matter of weights on the scales of righteousness. When an offer is presented, we weigh it with our conscience before entering in. Is what we are about to do acceptable behaviour, will we do it in clear sight of others, is it going to bring us or our family shame, disgrace and embarrassment, is it going to hurt anyone in any way - emotionally, physically, mentally, financially or spiritually. When things are done above board, it is open in the light and clearly visible, there is nothing that needs to be hidden. The moment we are pushed in to a corner or pressurized to make rash decisions suddenly without the opportunity to check it out and do our research - it is often a trap and turns into a disaster......stay away from it. There is a philosophy in life.....IF IT IS MEANT FOR US IT WILL GIVE US THE TIME OR COME PAST AGAIN WHEN WE ARE MORE PREPARED AND READY. DON'T BE PUSHED INTO A PLACE YOU DON'T FEEL READY TO OCCUPY. IF IT REALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT IT WILL WAIT FOR YOU OR COME BY AGAIN. Some things we learn as we go along, but some we need to prepare for, because we have to lay a proper foundation otherwise it falls to pieces half way through then have a lot of mess to clear up, wasting an enormous amount of time and effort. We can't put the cart before the horse, because then that cart is going nowhere. Building a successful life is very much the same as building a house.....a solid foundation is dug up and laid first, then strong bricks are selected and the right cement at the right mix is used to attach the bricks.....guide lines are strung up to build a straight wall, measurements are taken to leave place for the windows and doors.....none of it is guess work, a proper plan is drawn from which we build. It is amazing that we take so much care planning material gain and so little planning emotional development. Life's foundation is purity, the bricks we select are virtues that become our values, the labour we use is truth and we cement it with love, because love does not cause harm and therefore we will have no comebacks that cause our lives to crumble and fall. We can yield when it does not defile our virtues, morals or values, for there are many ways to reach our destination. The moment we are expected to sacrifice our honour, decency,
respect and values, we stand like a solid rock and don't give an inch. This too shall pass.......©
Tomorrow.....being tested....
