Back To Basics

When we are young and of school age, we live our lives based on what we are taught and regardless of how we feel of the regulations of the various schools we attend, we live our lives strictly adhering to the norms of the school because we are quite clear on what the consequences are, if we violate those rules.

However when we grow older and begin working for different organisations, we come to work everyday obeying the set rules/policies/procedures of the corporations we work for  regardless of how amiable or antagonistic  we consider our bosses.

Now when it comes to our own very lives, the scenario is a bit different. We tend to be clueless on what to base our values/passion on. Most of us base our values on what is acceptable, the risk of doing this is that what is acceptable today, may not be acceptable tomorrow. However the pressure to be accepted causes us to keep making this mistake. Also the constant change in times/needs/environment/governments can easily throw us into a confused state of mind on what values we consider core.

 For work and school and other regulated places we might find ourselves, there is normally a set time. For instance, we spend about eight hours at work or sometimes a bit more or less and the same applies to schools. For the period of time we spend in these places, it might not be the best places/ conditions, regardless we try to front a different us "BEST BEHAVIOUR" approach I call it. Thereafter, life goes on and it is at this time that the real us is set free. At this point we become lord over ourselves and think we can do as we please. For every action we take however, there is always a consequence to live with positive or negative.

Today, question anyone on why they act in a certain way/ indulge in a particular habit and they would have a thousand and one answers to buttress their point. Lets take a look at terrorism and the killings, and the terrorists will have more than enough reasons to indulge in the attacks carried out. A murderer will give you so many reasons while he killed his victim. When partners cheat on each other, they have so many reasons why they did that. And the list goes on and on.

We wont always have set rules to live by, at work or schools etc however our performance/achievement in life is solely based on the  good values we personally inculcate in us outside of these environments. And with the changing times/governments/ policies it is difficult to develop our values except these values are based on the very word that has stood the test of time THE BIBLE. In the book of Joshua 1:8 it says the book of the Law, shall not depart from our mouth night or day, and when we are careful to observe what the bible says, our prosperity is guaranteed.
