Principle Centeredness

Key Points:

• By centering our lives on correct principles, we create a solid foundation for development of the four life-support factors. Our security comes from knowing that, unlike other centers based on people or things which are subject to frequent and immediate change, correct principles do not change. We can depend on them. The wisdom and guidance that accompany principle-centered living come from correct maps, from the way things really are, have been and will be. The personal power that comes from principle-centered living is the power of a self-aware, knowledgeable, proactive individual, unrestricted by the attitudes, behaviors, and actions of others or by many circumstances and environmental influences that limit other people. 
• Principles are deep, fundamental truths, classic truths, generic common denominators. They are tightly interwoven threads running with exactness, consistency, beauty, and strength through the fabric of life.
• Remember that your paradigm is the source from which your attitudes and behaviors flow. A paradigm is like a pair of glasses; it affects the way you see everything in your life. If you look at things through the paradigm of correct principles, what you see in life is dramatically different from what you see through any other centered paradigm.

As a principle-centered person, you try to stand apart from the emotion of the situation and from other factors that would act on you, and evaluate the options.

1. In first making a certain decision, you are not being acted upon by other people or circumstances. You are proactively choosing what you determine to be the best alternative. You make your decision consciously and knowledgeable.
2. You know your decision is the most effective because it is based on principles with predictable long-term results.
3. What you choose to do contributes to your ultimate values in life.
4. Finally, you will feel comfortable with your decision.  Whatever you choose to do, you can focus on it, and enjoy it.
