The World seems to have lost much of its innocence. Formality, respect for authority, dignity, and nobility are mocked. Modesty and neatness yield to slouchiness and shabbiness in dress and grooming. The rules of honesty and integrity and basic morality are not ignored. Conversation is laced with profanity. We have decisions almost every day as to whether we will follow those trends. We have many tests ahead. The main factors that lead people to a life of cowardice seems to be a lack of belief within themselves and fear of the unknown. We have to believe in a greater future for ourselves and see ourselves achieving our goals, and we have to stop being afraid to take action. Fear is not real, it is just false negative assumptions that the mind tries to make us believe. “For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer,” reports 1 Timothy 4.4-5. We have to stop living small, stop being afraid, and live an extraordinary life as we pursue what we truly want. We can live our whole life in a state of resignation to life that we are in now or we can take responsibility for our lives and make things happen. If we do not take action we will never discover what we are truly capable of becoming and achieving. The Holy Ghost will comfort us and we will be able to feel the influence of the Angels, and this will help us feel our ways through life. #RandolphHarris 1 of 5
Our dreams and visions should have special meaning to us. We have to rekindle the desire within our hearts that we once had growing up to live the life we imagined. It is important to dream like we have never dreamed before. With the dream at the forefront of our mind taking the massive action in the direction that we want to go. Whatever is produced in a person, that is, whatever is inborn in an individual, is his or her nature. In its original, tranquil state, human nature is neither good nor evil. The distinction arises when human nature is aroused and manifested in feelings and actins and when these feelings and actions abide by or deviate from the mean. The chief task of moral and spiritual cultivation is to calm one’s nature though absolute impartiality and the identification of internal and external life. Since principle is code of creation and since life-giving is good, principle is the source of goodness. To be good is to obey principle. Thus, principle is both natural and moral and both general and specific. It has meaning as an abstract reality, but more so as the moral law of human beings. The pursuit of learning depends on the extension of knowledge, self-cultivation requires seriousness. The superior person is one who develops one’s mind to the utmost and nourishes his or her nature. If we will take control of it, magnificent is our future. There is something greater within us that is greater than any obstacle that we shall encounter. #RandolphHarris 2 of 5
We have to believe in ourselves, we have the capabilities to live the life we want to life. We can also be of service of the World, be the one to achieve our dreams so that we can help others to stand up and take charge of their lives, do away with the mediocre life, sacrifice for success, sacrifice for dreams, and sacrifice for what matters must. The harmony of the individual and society rests on several basic ideas. Foremost of these is humanity. Humanity is connoted particular virtues, such as kindness, benevolence, and affection. Humanity is the moral character, which enables people to attain true humanhood. The moral character is developed in oneself and in one’s relations with others. Wishing to establish our own character, also establishes the character of others. Rectification allows of to correct errors in our heart (moral errors). We have to see ourselves as the person that we truly want to be, the superior versions of ourselves who is ambition, drive, disciplined, focused, action-orientated and making our dreams a reality. Some people do not do all that they can because they have sold themselves short within their minds that they are not good enough and they do not have what it takes. However, when God put dream in your heart, it also came with a date of completion. #RandolphHarris 3 of 5
Success is a journey of growth, personal development, and action. The more we persist towards our dream with confidence, the stronger we will become in all areas of our lives. We should speak of the future, and it is bright with promise. There is hope and faith and achievement manifesting. Goodness and love and peace will attain their proper order and all things will flourish in a harmonious universal operation. The significance is the there will be a profound influence on the World. We are people of divinity; the people of the Almighty. Limitless is our potential. The ideal life of the individual, the ideal order of society, and the ideal type of government are al based on the Supreme Being and guided by God. Therefore, we must honor our heritage and not let our lives drift into an unproductive and worthless manner. It is the will of Heaven that we should practice humanity and righteousness, be economical, and practice universal love, and it is our duty to obey the will of Heaven. We can life vibration by our thoughts. High achievement always takes place in the framework of high expectations. These patterns of behaviour will yield success and happiness and peace. There must be cleanliness, for immorality will blight our lives and leave a scar that will never entirely leave us. There must be purpose. We are here to accomplish something, to bless society with our talents and our learning. #RandolpHarris 4 of 5
There can be fun in life, but there must be recognition of the fact that life is serious, that the risks are great, but we can overcome them if we will discipline ourselves and seek the unfailing strength of the Lord. Memory of mistakes will likely linger, but the deed can be forgiven, and we can rise above the past to life a life fully acceptable unto the Lord where there has been repentance. God promised that he will forgive our sins and remember them no more against us. We have to stay on the Lord’s side of the line. We have within us instincts, powerful and terribly persuasive, urging us at times to let go and experience temptation. However, we cannot do it. We must not do it. We are men and women of God with tremendous potential. God has great expectations concerning us, as do others. We cannot let down for a minute. We cannot give into an impulse. There must be discipline, strong and unbending. There is nothing in all this World as magnificent as virtue. It glows without tarnish. It is precious and beautiful. It is above price. It cannot be bought nor sold. It is the product of self-mastery. We have to find purpose in our lives and choose the things we would like to do, and educate ourselves to be effective in the pursuit. Centrality in the individual is the state of equilibrium in one’s mind before the feelings are aroused, and harmony s the state after they are aroused. We must dream like we have never dreamed before and make our dreams a reality. #RandolphHarris 5 of 5
