Do not long to escape the troubles of today by a return to yesterday. For it was the culture and choices of “the good old days” that led us to where we are today. The only hope is in building a future that is neither like yesterday nor today, but that has learned from the mistakes of both.
Accountability
May my first reaction to every problem in the world
And every problem in my personal life
Be “What did I do to contribute to this?”
Look Higher
All too often we limit our perspective when trying to remedy’s society’s ills. We see what appears to be immediately wrong around us and we try to implement what we see as the immediate solution to that problem. But this is like staring down at our feet while hiking on a trail. We may find the path of least resistance, but it may very well lead us off the edge of a cliff!
To navigate uncertain terrain, you must raise your view and fix it upon your ultimate destination. Only by focusing on our highest ideals, even the standard of heaven, can we make the right societal changes, both in the short and long term.
