Rule #2: Have a moral compass/believe in something.
Life is, well, a mystery. We don’t know what caused the universe to come into being or even if it does actually exist. At some point there was nothing…. Now there is something. Weird. Now what made that happen? I don’t know, but I believe that there are certain principles that have to govern reality and thusly certain principles should govern our individual being. This I refer to as a Moral Compass. No, I’m not a religious man and I’m not what all would even consider a good man, but I have the things I see as right and wrong and they are clear to me and not to be overlooked. This matters. It matters so much that it is engrained in my way. So, I believe it ought to be engrained in every way. I find beauty in such things. It is why in the Hogwarts game I choose to believe in being a particular house and following the way of that house as opposed to simply doing whatever.
A Moral Compass is a set of guidelines, and I believe we all should have that. Belief in something greater than yourself is a similar philosophy. One is about the guidelines and the other is about the creator of said guidelines. Both can be useful in developing your own way.
Some Thoughts:
- I do not know why it is important to me to publish these thoughts, yet I persevere.
- I think I must believe in doing something till you know why you are doing it. I think that is why I miss coaching, because I don’t think I ever entirely completed the ‘what I was supposed to do’ in that. There is an entire part of personal learning and execution that was missing.
- I’m tired of being ill/heart issues. I want to be right.
