If I had a "Business"

If I had a business and things were not looking good, the horizon was nowhere to be seen and the workforce lost hope, I would have to make some changes as to not lose everything and fail. If this was a company to believe in, a company with morals and purpose, a company that had helped frame lives and build faith, I would certainly want to preserve the underlying strength and mission that created its success.

I would need to root out pessimism and create a reason to push forward, a mentality of courage. I would need to create a vision to locate the core principles that helped create the level of integrity and success the business once had. I would need to bring in courageous leaders who believed in our mission and risked their lives in carrying out what they knew was more important than themselves. I would need to have a practice of discipline and moderation, strength, and encouragement.

As it goes without saying, I wouldn’t deal with venders or contractors that didn’t offer suitable services that met our needs. I wouldn’t invest capital into non performing assets. I wouldn’t create more debt to fund non essential divisions. I would seek out investors who willingly believed in our mission and purpose and stood by us by their own volition. I would not force anyone to believe in my agenda; rather I would invest in those that believed in the agenda set forth by the founders of the company and hold true to the principles that once made us successful and prosperous.

For it is courage to make the difficult choices. It is honor to stay true to your beliefs.

Human Nature

Imagine you wake up in the morning without knowing if there’s going to be sunlight or moonlight. Imagine if you were to walk outside and there was no telling if gravity would keep you affixed to the ground or if you were to jump you would just keep going. Imagine when the farmer plants corn that there’s a chance it will produce alfalfa. Without law, more difficult would be our existence. Luckily, we don’t live in a world governed by chance, our existence and world is based on laws and order.

Natural law has produced commonly known knowledge, an example of which is that of the freezing point. Take for example water, when it reaches 32 degrees it freezes. If you were to add 20% salt to it the freezing point changes to about 2 degrees above zero. Never will you see influence or opinion change the truth of this natural law.

Natural law and the law of human nature have distinct similarities. It’s important to note that human nature and the laws governing such should be respected the same as that of the natural law. To respect these laws is to work for accomplishing the good they can produce. Human nature is complex. Emotions, passions, and reaction to circumstance may have outward characteristic differences but not to be fooled, human nature is governed by law.

There is law taught across language, religious view and continent which is read: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Opinion and influence will never have power to change this law. As you give respect, you will receive respect. As you give, so shall you receive. Combine this law with the law of the harvest, in that a man will reap what he sows. Greater will be your happiness and more far reaching will be your success. You could have influence and reap a greater reward if you abide by these laws. We are all governed by this, it becomes your choice in which direction it will take you. You will either reap a reward of choice or reap a consequence from your actions.
