Principles and Values

Be respected for the principles and values that you believe in.

I am sure you have heard the saying; ‘if you don’t stand for something, you will fall for anything.’ Make sure that your something is something that you respect. When you respect your principles and values then others will respect you. They may not always agree with what you stand for, but you will be respected for it. See, respected doesn’t necessarily mean agree. You can respect someone but not always agree with them. So, be careful that what you stand for is in fact worth standing for. Your principles and values are what will sustain you during the tough times of life. They will even keep you from some of the tough times. Principles and values are your foundation. Make sure they will stand the test of time. Be sure to keep them simple and basic. Don’t want to have to do a lot of thinking when in  difficult situation. I encourage you to choose your principles and values carefully, because they are your life line. Are you respected for your principles and values?
