Life has taught me lots of lessons and I try to pay attention to them.
I share now with you four things I believe we all should seek to learn and apply to the adventure called life.
1. We can run from it and by so doing let fear shrivel our days and take a great deal of luster from our memories.
2. We can run with the pack and think with the herd and having become a mirror never have an original idea or intent of our own.
3. We can submit ourselves to certain disciplines that we have decided are the right and not willful way to go…and we can be the better for it…for the undisciplined life is a giant sadness that sends a giant shadow to cover all our days.
4.We can give ourselves to some cause, some person and certainly to our Lord…and by such dedication strengthen the backbone of our soul.
Conforming to the world rather than trying to reform it may seem easier and in a sense it is but at what a price.
“Don’t think you’re on the right road just because it is a well worn path.” It was a rough hewn sign in a farmer’s front yard that I passed many years ago and I have never forgotten it.
We don’t change for the better because living with worst is sometimes easier. We’re more comfortable with old ways of being rather than new solutions.
Did you ever stop to think that one of the outstanding examples of a conformist is a cow standing in the middle of a field chewing his cud. ..along with all the other cows...and the other cows....and the other...
So to you and me I say, do not be a non conformists just for the sake of being different…but if being different can make a better world and we know it and do nothing about it…we have bowed before the altar of mediocrity and submitted to a type of tyranny.
