The
energy known as life force is in each of us. As in Newton's Third law that
for every action their is and equal and opposite reaction. We recharge our
life force by eating, drinking and living healthy lives. When we tear up
our bodies we are essentially destroying our life force. When we workout
and live healthy we are building our life force.
1:
Realize that life its self is an internal and
eternal source of energy.
2: Learn to draw on life's force when we need extra strength.
3: Learn to take time to make proper decisions.
4: Stand accountable for the way we direct our energy in our daily lives.
5: Learn we have nobody but our selves
to blame for bad or quick decisions.
6: Conduct our use of channeling energy in such a fashion that it doesn't
hurt others.
7: Try to inject positive energy into our daily lives to grow in a
positive direction of self worth.
8: Realize that not all negative energy is necessarily bad if its used as
a trigger for positive energy.
9: Do not force our beliefs on anyone else because to do so would be a
negative use of energy.
10: When possible expand others self worth by educating them on how to use positive
energy in their daily lives.
Life
allows you to develop:
-
The
serenity to accept the things you cannot change.
-
The
courage to change the things you can.
-
The
wisdom to know the difference.
Serenity,
courage and wisdom are all virtues. Lets look at the definition of the
word virtue.
Virtue (Latin virtus;
Greek ἀρετή)
is moral excellence of a person. A virtue is a character trait valued as
being good. The conceptual opposite of virtue is vice. According to its
etymology the word virtue (Latin virtus) signifies manliness or courage.
Taken in its widest sense virtue means the excellence of perfection of a
thing, just as vice, its contrary, denotes a defect or absence of
perfection due to a thing. In its strictest meaning, however, as used by
moral philosophers and theologians, virtue is an operative habit
essentially good, as distinguished from vice, an operative habit
essentially evil. The four cardinal (hinge) virtues are Justice, Courage,
Wisdom, and Moderation. These were enumerated by the Greek philosophers.
The
three supernatural virtues of Faith, Hope and (unselfish) Love are part of
the Christian tradition. Both the natural and supernatural virtues depend
on a person's understanding that truth can be discovered. Modernist views
are at odds with this idea.
Prudence
and virtue
Seneca, the Roman Stoic said that
perfect prudence is indistinguishable from perfect virtue. His point was
that if you take the longest view, and consider all the consequences, in
the end, a perfectly prudent person would act in the same way as a
perfectly virtuous person. Many people have found it valuable to determine
how each of the virtues is prudent, as well as how they harmonize.
When
we are born we are given one of our biggest responsibilities right out the
gate. The human mind and body is a very beautiful and powerful thing. It
is up to us to educate, develop and nurture it until its reached the highest
level of excellence possible.
