My name is principles. I am timeless, universal, and good. I apply in all situation and circumstances. There is no getting around me. Many will break themselves against me. Others will align themselves directly to me. Those who align will experience the untold benefit of my universal power.
Understand that I am unlimited. However, for the sake of understanding, here are two of me:
1. Personal Responsibility
Whatever you are, wherever you are, you have some wiggle room. Things may seem like they are hopeless. Things outside of you may seem to push in so forcefully that even breathing is a difficulty. The important thing to remember is that I am a principle. This is how I will I can help:
No matter what your situation, you have an actionable option. In other words, there is something you CAN do. Those who choose to do what they can do, rather than think or speak for what they cannot do, operate under the principle of personal responsibility. When one is forced to the extreme of being physically incapable of action, that person can still choose his or her own MINDSET. Those who use me align themselves with the greatest force of energy this world has ever know.
There are a few known benefits to exercising personal responsibility. Those who do what is in their power to control their own circumstance find that their degree of control grows greater and greater. Additionally, the things that previously caused many worries become outside of reach, lost, and undone. Worries no longer surface as worries, but occurrences. Worries no longer surface at all.
2. Empathy
The world is not your perception of the world. The world itself is typically much different. Knowing this is the first step towards aligning oneself with me. Empathy means understanding how another interprets the facts that are available. Under the principle of empathy "facts" becomes a loose term, as things become increasingly defined by perspectives, rather than realities.
The principle of empathy requires you to see through the eyes of another and to walk in his or her shoes. The time and labor spent in this endeavor seems burdensome. However, it will often save exponentially more time in the mid to long term range.
Empathy deals with relationships. Relationships are complicated by the underlying fact that humans are spiritual beings living in human form. The humanity of us will often deny the movement from our own personal perspective to the understanding of the perspective of another. The spirit, on the other hand, knows no difference. The spirit only knows one way, the way of unity and truth.
Empathy allows us to gather information that our own selves may never have discovered in solidarity. It allows us to form deep and enriching relationships. It allows us perspective that can ease and even alleviate the pain of our own deep rooted insecurities.
In closing, I am principles. Two of me are personal responsibility and empathy. We form what can be known as the best parts of the individuals and relationships respectively. While one builds upon another, both endure forever. Consider us your ally, if you embrace our construct. Consider us your grim reaper, if you neglect our permanence.
