50 Ways to a Better Life A Healthy Personal Ecology Achieve to have a balanced and stable life. Like a pyramid, make sure that your life stands on its base and not on its point. To live a better life, it is also important that you maintain a healthy ecological balance within yourself. Make sure that what flows out of your life is balanced by what comes in so that you don’t end up barren and dry. However, it is important that you keep watch of what comes in making sure that it will not pollute or damage you. Check your life’s boundaries and stick to it. Make sure that the richness within you is maintained and well contained, balanced by the things that you let out. Don’t let your lake become stagnant and dead. Let out some things in your life. Share your life your blessings appropriately with those around you. What You Sow will Grow You are free to sow what you like, when and where you like it. What you sow will eventually increase— possibly many times over. But always bear in mind the natural law: what you sow is what you’ll reap. If you plant potatoes do not expect to get maize. You absolutely cannot violate this principle. What you have given out will eventually come back to you. At times you may think that you can get away with what you sow, but it will eventually catch up with you. Therefore, look carefully at the things that you sow in your life. The Not-so-Funny Farm Once there was a not-so-funny farm with cows, pigs, horses and chickens in it. During the course of these animals’ stay in the farm, they have developed envy as to what other animals can do that they cannot. The not-so-happy animals lived in conflict with each other in the not-so-funny farm which eventually ran down.
Just like these animals in the not-so-funny farm are individuals who are not content with what they can do and what they have. Many try to be what they are not. Most people struggle accepting differences with other people and embracing uniqueness of oneself. Remember that foundational to a happy society is the discovery of one’s strengths and living freely with these strengths. Focus on what you can do well and promote it. Accept that each individual is unique and respect the differences. |
