Ideals are Selective

Ideals are selective. We must select lofty ideals to stand out in a crowd. To become a true individual you have to have inner-strength to stand strong through life. To live a noble life, a life of Christ, one must select ideals that not only influence our actions but also influence those around us.

If you've ever read Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre you've see a character who chose her ideals and stood by them, even when she didn't want to stand by them.

Can you stand strong in a society that's singularly focused on getting us to conform to their ideals? It requires a lot of us to withstand such pressure and be ourselves.

Truth, virtue, honesty, integrity, initiative, ingenuity, allegiance, commitment, passion, entrepreneurship and others are needed to make an impact!

In short, people with sensus plenior are needed to help our society. Be the individual you were meant to be.

"Our lives depend on the decisions we make, for decisions determine destiny."
- Thomas Mason

Assignment:
Shun the training you've been given to look at everything around you in a singular, literal light. Flock to people who don't fit the mold. Ask questions of them. Endless questions. Find out what makes them tick. Try to find out why they do what they do. Be curious and inquisitive.

We are in a fourth turning - a time of crisis. To find security in such a time a focus on home, community and entrepreneurship are needed. You can learn a lot from a maverick.
