All human beings possess a heart, soul, mind and strength. Nothing of any true significance can be achieved unless this is understood.
“Give me someplace to start.”
If I’ve said that once, I’ve said it a thousand times. I’ve heard people say it to me on an equal number of occasions.
We are human. We are neither vacuous nor voluptuous with wisdom. We require a process.
Every process has a starting point. So what is the starting point in the human experience? What grants us the right and privilege of living our lives in freedom while being perceived as non-threatening to our brothers and sisters?
It is the word “virtue.”
And if you’re trying to find that quality by following ten commandments or the seven habits of successful people, you will drive yourself crazy with failure, constantly bewildered on how to rededicate your efforts.
I am happy to report to one and all that virtue has one, sole principle. Once this principle is in place, everything in life begins to unfold in glorious simplicity.
Virtue is the character we release.
While integrity is the character we possess, virtue is a decision on our part to relinquish to others what we hold dear in our soul.
It is confirmed by one cardinal rule:
I only matter if you matter.
The minute I decide to alienate you or limit your free will, I am setting myself up to be dominated by a tyrant in my future, who feels that he or she has the equal right to be so discriminating.
- I can be free if you can be free.
- I can be equal if you can be equal.
- Yet the power I take from you will be snatched from me.
Virtue is when I realize that I only matter if you matter. And if I believe this with all my heart and honor it when I am tempted to become prejudiced, I become a friend of mankind … and a contributor to Father God and Mother Earth.
