Focus more on principles and values that help you learn to serve, love, care, and lead. That teach compassion, understanding, grace, and forgiveness. That helps you learn from failure withstand disappointment, combat evil, and overcome grief. Values that build you up, prepare you

Encourage you, but will not deceive you. Will challenge you and push you. That create accountability, responsibility, and individuality. That encourage your challenges and withstands a tough debate. Lastly that teaches & respects right and wrong, and is just and fair. Focuses on

Understanding, educating, and the gaining of wisdom. Without solid principles & strong values you make choices based on feelings or emotions based on a moment & choices are made quickly with no regard to consequence.

This can change everything in a blink of an eye. Know yourself, reach higher, and gain much more. For me I plant my principles and values in the Bible and pray they become deep rooted that creates and unshakeable foundation.
