Life is not a mystery.
No, there is no such thing.
It is full of solutions but they have to be discovered.
About twenty-six years ago, no one ever thought that the social media applications we have today could be of such tremendous impact.
It existed, but it needed to be discovered.
The thing about life is that it is filled with principles.
These principles cannot be altered or changed.
They are constant. So before one gets anything out of life, one has to apply one of these numerous uncountable principles.
What is a principle?
It is the fundamental truth or proposition that serves as the foundation for a system of belief or behaviour or a chain of reasoning.
So for example, brushing of teeth, bathing and learning are all principles.
They serve as a fundamental truth for the foundation of a system of well-being.
If you fail to do these, you won’t be well or sound; it is just a matter of time.
If we accept or agree to do this, then all that is required of us is to discover the principle underlining whatever we aspire to achieve. It is as simple as that.
It doesn’t matter what you think and put into action, if the principle behind it is not a system or a chain of reasoning, it will eventually crumple.
Hence, it is not how large you do what you do that counts, but the principle behind it.
For instance, if you want to be successful, you have to learn the principles of success. One of the principles of success is thanking others always.
It does not matter what it is, anytime someone does something for you, just thank the person. Thanks be to all the social applications, you do not have an excuse.
All these are a medium for you to say ‘thank you’.
Another principle for ever improving in life is the principle of giving or serving.
It does not matter what you do, always think of giving your best when you have the opportunity to help or serve others.
Don’t think of what you can get; no! Think of what you can give always. And you will be amazed at what will happen to you.
How does one discover a principle?
- By deciding or choosing to be something.
- Then you learn the process of making it a system or a chain of reasoning.
- Practise it.
- As you practise it, it will eventually become a mindset.
It is not how large you do what you do, but it is the principle behind it that counts!
