Dependability is Accountability

For any sort of relationship to function smoothly, there needs to be dependability; whether it is a car and its motor parts, or a person and another.  The car needs all its parts to work correctly or it will stall or break down.  The car and its parts need to be dependable so the driver can get to point A and point B.  An employee has to be accountable to his work schedule and be on time, if not the work isn't completed and profit is damaged.  Therefore, the car needs to be dependable to the employee, just as he is accountable to his job, for the job is dependable on him.  The cycle of dependability and accountability are important for progress. 

Family and friends depend on people all the time. When people come through with a favor or request they are looked at as a person with good character and with accountability.  Hopefully when it is their turn to be dependable they will also come through and show respect as a friend or family member.  Dependability and accountability are the cornerstones for any relationship that is wanted to function correctly.  Without these aspects it will not work properly and progress will not ensue. a

Honesty is Key

Honesty is directly proportional to integrity.  The integrity of a person determines their character and how they act in certain situations, or more so how they respond.  Having values in life make life more meaningful because of the guidelines one has to follow, out of choice, to lead the life they want.  Among other morals and values, honesty is a fundamental key in most, if not all, aspects of life; for example, having good relationships with family and friends depend on it, otherwise, the relationship has no solid ground because honesty isn't there as the foundation.  When getting to know someone honest answers are usually assumed, and after a while that honesty laid the ground work for a friendship or personal relationship.  My parallel correlation for honesty and integrity is because when a person is considered honest then they are perceived as a respectable person by society, on the other hand, when a person is known for dishonesty then their character will be known for being unsound or guile. 99.9% of the time honesty will get people to a better place in life, whether is be admitting certain problems one has, or even a crime committed. Honesty is the key to having integrity within oneself, that's true, honestly.

P.S. The last 0.1% are the white lies, like when a pregnant wife asks her husband if she is a bit over weight....

To The Future

To The Future

                “I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.”  What this means is that you devise your whole life, whether it be planned or not planned.  Your future is comprised of every individual day accumulated over the years.  Either you make plans out of life and create your future, or life itself will make plans out of you and shape your future.   Only you can decide to do the hard work that planning and goal reaching requires of you, to enable a future that you want and to accomplish the very dreams you want to achieve.  Planning is the first step in the right direction, for example, when you need to go grocery shopping you write, create a plan, a list on what you need to buy in order to:  1) not to spend money on other things, or 2) not to forget the things you do need to buy.  This is a simple form of planning but it does bring out two positive facets: 1) being proactive not too spend more than what is needed and 2) being accountable by buying everything that is needed. With this concept of a planning, expanded to most prominent aspects of life (i.e. education, career, family), one can sketch their life line by line and develop a genius work of art.  

Goals

Goals can either be short-term or long-term.  Short-term goals are goals that require a small amount of dedication and perseverance.  Ones that last at least a day, a week, a couple months, or at most one year. An example of a short-term goal would be to lose 15 pounds in 3 months. A person could eat healthy by not eating fast food or anything fried.  Maybe even go out running and not watch T.V.  After those three months they will most likely lose 15 pounds.  Long-term goals are ones that are longer than one year, like: five, ten, or even a lifetime.  An example of a lifetime goal would be to be healthy at age of 80, and not bridle or frail.  That short-term goal did coincide with the long-term, but the former can change to fit your current lifestyle at a particular time in life.  But in the end the long-term goal requires much more dedication and perseverance to acquire and accomplish.

            When goals are met, whether it be short or long-term goals, a sense of pride and accomplishment rushes in and fills a person up.  Feeling a great sense of self-worth inspires people to make and create another goal.  Goals are supposed to challenge a person to become something that they strive to be.  Goals should put a person outside their comfort zone and to try new things which they have never done before.  They should make the person who they want to be or who they dream to be.  Goals are only completed by the person who starts them; no one else can finish another person’s own goals.
