What a Paradox

From this insightful paradox of our age we can get excited that the only place to go from here is up. 

I think that life teaches us to grow , but the thing we have forgotten is that principles are always, a standard set in place for us to evaluate our progress.

To slow down and value things that add quality to life. There was a day when we valued personal, self-mastery, and restraint was a virtue greatly honored. 

There really is no short cut or by-pass to life , we learn either the hard way or the right way. When we by-pass the process we set ourselves and others up for failure. Knowledge without the wisdom to use it can cause harm and hold us back. Our fast pace, and the conveniences of life have left us soft for it is in the work of doing that we gain strength. We must learn that life has a purpose and it is to serve God and to grow into that image.

 How we handle life will determine what is created by our choices.Our greed allows place for things but not for people. I believe we have lost the why behind what we do. Doing just for the sake of being busy, or accumulating things is fruitless. More is not better unless what you have acquired has value and adds quality to life.
