A Life Well Lived

A Life Well Lived

There is no substitute for a life well lived. Soul cannot be felt or expressed through a life that is in shambles. The kind of inner security and continuity that a carefully lived life offers is its own reward. No therapy or philosophy can really be effective unless I live a life that is clean and wholesome. If I think I can conduct myself in a dubious manner and get good and happy results, I am misunderstanding the laws of living. I will reap what I sow. If I sow seeds of disharmony and discontent, if I live a life that lacks commitment and follow-through, then that is the experience I am creating for myself. If I live a life that is not loving and well-intended, there is no way that I will reap those rewards. Whatever it is I wish to receive, I need to first create and live in my own life.

I put clean and wholesome living as my highest priority.
 

There is only one thing that is fully our own and that is our will or purpose.
Epictetus, 1st century A.D.
