Opening The Door

When feelings of self importance knock at your door, don't answer. Clean the house instead.

An Open Ledger

We act out of reasoned choice for the greater good not to increase the value of our ledger and the indebtedness of others to us. We act for the common because it is by nature what we do. Our acts need no witness or record of their happening.

Doing Wrong

Socrates - “nobody does wrong willingly”.

They just have a different understanding than you of what is right. 

Find the common understanding.

Walking

Carefully choose who you walk with, and if no one, walk inwardly perceiving all for what it truly is, but judging nothing.
 

Storms

When the winds howl and threaten to whirl us about we plant our feet firmly, prepare for the storm, and once done, go about our business.

No drama, no lamenting, no distractions. The problem is dealt with as fact. Mitigated as best we can, and then we carry on.

Success does not depend on how well a plan is executed. Success is determined by how well we adjust and expedite the plan to navigate the obstacles that no amount of planning can predict.
