Day 205 of wisdom
“There are three constants in life... change, choice, and principles.”
Stephen Covey
Life is governed by some set of constants, and nature never bends but man's activities have found ways of altering nature. Change, choice, and principles are the governors of whatever happens to whoever in life. Everything is subject to a kind of change or the other, and when these changes come, your understanding of the situation determines how you react to these changes.
Choices are the responsibilities of man, everyone at some point in their lives must make some choices, which will determine how the rest of their life from thenceforward will be. When these decisions are made, we must be proud of our decisions, and take responsibility for whatever the decision results into. Principles are natural laws that governs what becomes of the changes that occurs in life, and how our choices affects our lives.
Our choices are the true revelation of who we truly are, they show what really goes on in our minds. Everything in life is a choice, and are the determinants of who we eventually become, so, we must be very wise in making our choices. Once Stephen Covey also said, “But until a person can say deeply and honestly, "I am what I am today because of the choices I made yesterday," that person cannot say, "I choose otherwise.”
Thomas Paine said, “An army of principles can penetrate where an army of soldiers cannot.” no matter how oppressed the results of any principle might be, it will eventually come to the fore. Principles are meant to be obeyed, but are not supposed to put us in bounds, so we must allow ourselves live the best we can so we can attain the heights we hope to reach.
