A commitment to fundamentals

Our belief system is the truth we decide to live by. It is likely that when we decide to change our mind about an important matter, we must simultaneously modify a fundamental belief or value by which we identify ourself.

When we are absolutely clear about and committed to our principles, we know when to stand up for them.

The secret to success is to learn and practice the fundamental abilities and knowledge on which all other abilities in that discipline depend.

When people honor a common humanity and cherish the innate beauty of every living species we have a chance to live in a heaven on earth.

Duty is acting on behalf of a greater good or principle even when one does not feel like it. Sometimes it also takes courage

Theology and science converge in this thought: this divine energy animates us as individual living souls, an incarnation of individual spirit-filled persons.

Human well-being stems from a sense of connection to others and to the world around us.

Ethics are embedded in how we behave regardless of what we claim in our words. We demonstrate them for all to see.

The universal underlying principle is we bring about what we think about. Good in, good out.

The greater our skill and competence, the more risk we are willing to accept. The more in control of the outcome we feel.
