Day 73 / 100 Days to More ~

Be honorable yourself if you wish to associate with honorable people. The reverse is true too. If you want to be honorable, surround yourself with honorable people. If you want to be creative, talk to some creative types. If you want to get in shape, spend as much time as you can with other people who have the same goals. And so on. To live by what you believe, and to become someone you like, it’s easier when you can borrow from others. Whether you realize it or not, your personality and actions are shaped in part by your surroundings. So if someone is going to “rub off on you”, make sure it’s someone you like, respect and can learn from.

We strive for materialistic ends, such as lucrative income, status, a big house, an expensive car, jewelry and so on, because we believe these things will make us happy. Seldom do we give attention to our mind and soul, which the time and resources we spend in trying to fulfill our physical needs and desire, we are still unable to achieve lasting peace and happiness through satisfaction of bodily needs. This is because we have not learned how to listen to our mind and soul. It’s all together, mind, body, and soul for good health.

Action:   What do you want for your life?
