1. Your Life
You exist. You have a life. How you live your life is largely up to you. Your actions or in actions, good or bad, have consequences. The choices you make or don’t make will shape the kind of journey your life will be.
The ‘Live’ series are one of the keys that shows you ways of thinking about yourself and your life. They show you the choices you can take or not take. They are the keys to whether you live like:
- A puppet with others pulling your strings and all you are resigned to doing is reacting to what others do to you
OR
- The puppeteer controlling the puppet so that you make the choices in shaping how your life turns out.
In this series on Live, I’ve written about my own lessons from experience, reading, reflecting and practicing the things I learnt. This moment of time in my life is a point in the journey of life where I’m contented and satisfied. Once you have lived more than 3 score years (60years), you acquire wisdom that is practical and useful. My purpose is to map out this wisdom in a way that future generations of descendants can access these ideas and practices if they so choose.
After all, if you have reached a stage in your life where you are not happy with your results, then you need to change how you have done things in the past. It is folly to continue to live in the manner that you have in the past if you don’t like the results you have to date.
If you reflect on where you are at this point in time in your journey of life and you don’t like the results that you have achieved, then you need to change what you do. You can safely assume that the results you have achieved in your life at this point in time are due to your past actions. If you continue to live as you have in the past, then you will continue getting the same results. If you want to change your results, you have to change your past practices.
