Principles, Attributes and Attitudes
True principles are timeless truths that help us in the processes of personal growth and change. Developing habits of incorporating principles into the foundation of our personal decision-making leads to quality-of-life results. Although we may value living by universal, empowering principles, true principles are not, in and of themselves, values nor are they rules or religion. They have existed in all peoples and locations throughout time. When we live according to principles, we live in alignment with our authentic self. Principles help us adapt to pressure-filled and changing situations. They help us change and/or strengthen the generations. The power of our positive influence increases when we begin to value and consistently live principle-driven lives.
