QUALITY OF LIFE
Key to quality of
life is the quality of your relationships.
Principles of
agriculture apply equality to human culture.
Motives & mean
do matter.
Things can’t be done
over a weekend.
Quick, easy,
free& fun approach won’t work on the “farm” because they were subject to
natural laws and governing principals.
Natural laws based
on principals, operate regardless of our awareness of them or our obedience to
them.
Can you go two weeks
without milking the cow and then get out these and milk like crazy?
THE LAW OF THE FARM
Prepare the ground.
Put the seed.
Cultivate it.
Weed it.
Nurture growth to
full maturity.
The law of the farm
is applicable in a marriage in helping a teenager through a difficult identity
crisis. There is no quick fix.
CENTRE ON TIMELESS PRINCIPALS
Principles are not
invented by us or society. They are the laws of universe. They are part of
human relationships, human organizations, human conditions, consciousness and
conscience.
Basic principles
like fairness, equality, justice, integrity, honesty and trust.
People trust those
character & competence are founded upon correct principles because trust is
related to trust worthiness overtime.
Most people prefer
to work on their appearance or personality not on their character?
Appearance or
personality involves learning a new skill, style or image, but character
involves changing habits, developing virtues, disciplining appetites and
passions, keeping promises and being considerate of the feeding and convections
of others.
Character development
is the true test and manifestation of our maturity.
To value oneself and
yet subordinate oneself to higher purposes and principles is the essence of
highest humanity and foundation of effective leadership.
To focus on
personality before character is to try to grow the tree without the roots-we
can’t have fruits without the roots.
Private victory
precedes public victory.
Self-mastery and
self-discipline are the character roots of good relationships with others.
We may have the
“rights” rhetoric, style and even intention but without trust we won’t achieve
much.
One may make
favorable first impressions through charm, may win through intimidation, but
secondary personality trusts alone have little worth in long term relationships.
True motive eventually surface.
It is the character
that communicates more eloquently.
THREE CHARACTER TRIATS
INTEGRITY
Keeping meaningful
promises & commitments.
Without integrity
our words become meaningless.
MATURITY
If a person can
express his or her feeling and convictions with courage balanced with
consideration for the feelings and convections of another person, he or she is
mature.
If a person lacks
internal maturity and emotional strength, he or she might try to borrow
strength from position, power, credentials, seniority or affiliations.
ABUNDANCE MENTALLY
Idea that there is
plenty out there for everybody.
This result is
sharing recognition, profits and responsibility.
Opens up creative
new options and alternatives.
It turns personal joy and fulfillment outward.
It recognizes
unlimited possibilities for positive interaction, growth and development.
As we give grace to
others, we receive more grace ourselves.
