Thought 195: The holistic approach to life (Continued)


Part 10 - Moral Values And Principles

- Remember, "Good reputation is some thing that has to be earned but honor is something that must not be lost"

- "Forget injuries but never forget kindness"

- "Forgiveness warms the heart and dulls the sting"

- Never say one thing and mean another

- Have some values in life. Write them down for clarity. Commit yourself to them.

- Values should not be compromised or diluted. They should be guarded jealously

- Defend your values even if such a defense may cause you suffering. This suffering gives you moral courage and strength of character, which are extremely valuable

- When there is a conflict between "being right" and "being happy"

* "be right" where values are concerned

* "be happy" in every thing else - they are all negotiable
