I think one of the most important aspects of living is this.
You live each day, with the rise of the sun to the rise of the moon and every moment you live with yourself.Is it not a sign of peace and understanding not to mention great respect and character to oneslef to know that you are consistant.It is so important to respect oneself – i have come to learn this in my life time – from my physical performance on the playing fields to my mental restraint and capability.Many times you miss the harmony that the mental and physical domains bring to the collective consistancy of ones life – they are hand in hand. It is not abusing them that shows a true respect to what has been given to you – it is a gift, no doubt.
This is one of the many aspects of being true to yourself that i find is importand.
Another, equally important is repecting oneself – this goes with doing the right and most suitable things in all situations that are presented to you.Only you know what you can do and how you feel, so in this way it is you who can identify what you feel and know – thus if you know that you have done something that you know you could have done better or in another preferred way – only you will know this.With this knowledge, it is up to you to react and respond.If you lie to yourelf then you are not at harmony with yourself and you don’t respect yourself – no doubt.
I think it boils down to a few main points.Firstly doing the right things in any given situation and feeling good in doing so.Then also not to lie to yourself.
And by doing the best in a situation is only indicative of your current ability – if your ability of say judgment demands a certain dicision – but you take a lesser one, then this is doing less than you can – its not the best thing that you can do for a situation.
