Daily Question, July 7

How do I live according to my principles?

  • Ose

    With continuity, reminding myself in what my heart feels is essential while being here, when emotions may have disrupted to listen to the inner voice and come back to it and do accordingly.

  • Kat

    I try to stay connected to my body and the moment so that I can be a person of increase.

  • Ed

    I try to stay aware of my heart leadings. If something thing is pulling down on my heart, I need to make a correction before it’s too late. I have room for plenty improvement.

    Living with my principles has not always been easy or steady on the pathway of my life.I have shared doubts. In the long run many of the principles worked to the betterment.

    Principles -- second only to Love in one's life and relationships with all others. A lifetime ago I learned two things that I have always tried to live my life by -- Reinhold Niebuhr's Serenity Prayer and Rudyard Kipling's poem, IF. The Serenity Prayer, even in its long version, is not lengthy but easy to recall and a wonderful guide to a principled life. Kipling's poem, on the other hand, is rather lengthy. I used to have the entire poem in memory but now can only manage the last few lines. ...

    Principles — second only to Love in one’s life and relationships with all others.
    A lifetime ago I learned two things that I have always tried to live my life by — Reinhold Niebuhr’s Serenity Prayer and Rudyard Kipling’s poem, IF.
    The Serenity Prayer, even in its long version, is not lengthy but easy to recall and a wonderful guide to a principled life.
    Kipling’s poem, on the other hand, is rather lengthy. I used to have the entire poem in memory but now can only manage the last few lines. They are still inspiring to me:
    “If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with kings — nor lose the common touch.
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much,
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With 60 seconds of distance run,
    Your’s is the earth and everything that’s in it,
    And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my son.”
    Principles can be difficult to live up to but doing so is not an option in living with others…😌

    One day at a time. I agree with Antoinette, forgiving yourself when emotions take over. It’s ok to forgive yourself and start over. Kindness and smiling are simple ways to live. Have a peaceful Sunday everyone:)

  • Antoinette

    I live by my principals by knowing what they are and setting an intention to abide by them.
    The most important is to be present in each moment to respond in accordance to each situation with compassion and loving kindness.
    This sounds easy to say but how do I stay alert enough to be gentle when strong emotions are stirred up?
    Remember my purpose in life always. Always come back and start again when I lose myself. Come back with kindness to myself. Allowing whatever shows up and let it be.

  • Sarah

    Keep it simple: always do the next right thing.
