But when I feel imprisoned by my guiding principle, then I try to reflect on what it is and have more self-control to change it. I'm working on it.<br /><br />I want my mantra to be:<br />Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, or worthy of praise, engage these things.<br /><br />If I can get there, then I want to move a step further and create these things where they are lacking. One step at a time; I may never get past the engagement, but what a beautiful engagement it is. :)Chadwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943431403519078054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-27209461688327192552011-07-03T21:53:20.879-04:002011-07-03T21:53:20.879-04:00Some days I worry about you a bit!

It's not about the trend, it's about using your good sense.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-36954678010290865732011-07-03T19:23:47.659-04:002011-07-03T19:23:47.659-04:00For some reason, when you said "use both side...For some reason, when you said "use both sides of the paper before recycling it" I thought toilet paper... ew.<br /><br />I've never really been cool, since environmentally soundness is the cool thing now. <br />I don't think I can give up petrol burning cars (and driving them uneconomically) completely.<br />I like meat way too much and only eat my vegetables because it would be a bad example to my kid if I didn't.<br /><br />And I can only remember the parental "mantras" that meant if I carried on, I would be in trouble or I was in trouble.Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15518548279867437391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-27923711073904962892011-07-02T11:06:39.299-04:002011-07-02T11:06:39.299-04:00I could probably write a book of my parents' t...I could probably write a book of my parents' things, too.

I definitely think "Do no harm" sums them all up very neatly.Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862479925124552922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8552468.post-53466693556661593672011-07-02T10:56:31.074-04:002011-07-02T10:56:31.074-04:00My parents mantras.

Good grief I could write a book. <br />Waste not want not.<br />A penny saved is a penny earned.<br />Family first.<br />Charity begins at home.<br />You have to earn your way through life.<br />Someone may be listening.<br />Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.<br />I could go on but I won't. They were a tad uptight. Did any of them stick with me? Probably just the "do unto others" one. I like to think that I formed my own mantra which is simply "do no harm".<br />have a great weekend.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
