My friends do good for themselves so that they can then do good for others (#1956)

There is a proper protocol for having a satisfying life. First we must take what we have of ourselves and allow for some self examination and some friendly constructive advice and then modify our thinking and our behavior to become a more responsible and humane person. It is really important to change in all the aspects of our obvious deficiencies regardless of how tough it is. Remember, if it is good it will be tough, that is a given. So after we have given ourselves a new perspective and comprehensive evaluation, we must start to live accordingly. Also remember that life is about change and it is never, and I cannot stress this enough, ever to late to change. As an example, I did some of the most altered changing in my life just after the age of 50. So once we get ourselves into a good place where we are doing right by ourselves, by practicing good healthy habits, by practicing smart responsible actions concerning our obligations and by allowing ourselves to learn more about the world we live in with an open objective mind. It is within these three basic living standards that we begin to have a better mental outlook on our world despite the hard and often unfair circumstances that surround us. Because we have improved our own lives we now can help others improve theirs. It is the next step after finding for ourselves a good path to follow to want others to join us on it. Life is worth living and because of that it is worth living with some self dignity and self respect. We all apply our own sense of morality, ethics, justice and equality to our situations and when we are living with a positive mindset we are also able to evaluate and honor if these high principles are being applied. If they are not being applied then we speak up and let it be known that the deficiencies in our society are not greater than the spirit of our own ability to rectify them.
