Goals
New years resolutions are meant to be broken so I don’t make them anymore. I came across these goals while reading about George Washington. These are some of the rules he lived by. I have decided to make them my goals for this year. It seems like a good way to live.
* EVERY ACTION MUST BE DONE WITH RESPECT TOWARD OTHERS AROUND YOU.
* SHOW NO DELIGHT IN THE MISFORTUNE OF OTHERS, EVEN THOUGH HE BE YOUR
ENEMY.
* IF ANYONE COMES TO SPEAK TO YOU WHILE YOU ARE SITTING, STAND, EVEN
THOUGH HE WILL BE YOUR INFERIOR.
* BE NOT HASTY TO BELIEVE FLYING REPORTS TO THE DISPARAGEMENT OF ANY.
* ASSOCIATE YOURSELF WITH MEN OF GOOD QUALITY.
* IF YOU ESTEEM YOUR OWN REPUTATION, TIS BETTER TO BE ALONE THEN IN
BAD COMPANY.
* LET YOUR CONVERSATION BE WITHOUT MALICE OR ENVY.
* SPEAK NOT INFURIOUS WORDS NEITHER IN JEST OR IN EARNEST.
* ALWAYS STAND WHEN A LADY ENTERS YOUR CIRCLE OR STANDS BEFORE THE TABLE.
* READ YOUR SCRIPTURES DAILY.
* HAVE A PITURE OF SOMEONE YOU ADMIRE. WHEN HAVING A TOUGH DAY MOVE IT
NEAR YOU.
* MAKE A GOAL EVERYDAY. WRITE AND PONDER IN THE MORNING, REVIEW YOUR
SUCCESSES AND FAILURES AT END OF EACH DAY.
* GATHER OTHERS TO SUPPORT HONESTY.
* ALWAYS LOOK A MAN IN THE EYE.
* ALWAYS HAVE A FIRM HANDSHAKE.
* PRAY FOR OTHERS.
* LOOK FOR WAYS TO SERVE OTHERS AT ALL TIMES.
* ALWAYS SAY WHAT YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY.
* BUILD TRUST THROUGH YOUR ACTIONS.
* DO NOT PARTAKE IN BASHING THE BIBLE.
* DO NOT FIGHT WITH THOSE WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO SEE ANOTHER
PERSPECTIVE. WHEN IN BATTLE (ARGUMENT) REPEAT THE OTHER SIDE UNTIL
THEY SAY YOU HAVE THEIR ARGUMENT.
* BUILD, NEVER DESTROY.
* ASPIRE TO INSPIRE.
If we all did that, we’d be a lot better off.
