The first code
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I was driving in the car today and an old song came on the radio. It said that you must have a code that you can live by.
A code that you can live by. I started to think that this is a message that has become to lost in our society. To many people look externally and don’t know what their internal code is.
Who are you? What is ok and what is not ok. Everyone needs a code, and a sense of self.
I was pondering what tenet is the most important to me. What is my first thing that is fundemental. What do I think a person needs to embrace to fully live life, constructivly.
That is a hard question.
My first tenet is: I am responsible for myself and my situation, I have created this situation, and I can create any situation I choose and direct my attention towards.
I need to shorten it up.
I know I have talked about this before. I feel very strongly about personal responsibilty.
I know life does not seem fair, and that things happen that appear to be outside of my control. But I realize I have set up the circumstances for this to occur, and I can set up circumstances for this to change.
I can overcome any pattern that I am in, and shift. If I want to put enough energy into it, enough directed thought to it, plot the course and make it happen.
To many people let the outside define them. I often fall into this trap also.
But it is not needed.
I am in control of me, you are in control of you.
What are we going to do?
