The opportunity to take steps forward toward success; to strive for the betterment of our lives and that of others; to work toward wonderful, beautiful creation during our time on this planet is truly boundless.<\/p>\n<p>But in our lives we have many choices, or &#8220;forks in the road,&#8221; as some may say. Being only 25 years old, I am both old and young &#8212; young, because my energy can carry me forward in so many ways. Old, because I have experienced the &#8220;experimentation&#8221; of the teens &amp; college years and am finally settling into the &#8220;Sammy&#8221; I am and who I wish to be for my lifetime ahead.<\/p>\n<p>These choices in our lives &#8212; whether you are 15, 25, 50 \u00a0or 75 years old &#8212; can be tough decisions to make if we have not evaluated and found the solid, steady wisdom in <strong>determining our principles.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I recently looked at my bookshelf for a new book to read. Instead, my eyes gravitated to an old one: A copy of Stephen Covey&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stephencovey.com\/7habits\/7habits.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;7 Habits of Highly Effective People.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I first read this book during my first summer out of college. I was working full time as a web assistant in the digital magazine world. It was my first &#8220;10 to 7&#8221; job [these are the working hours in NYC!] and for the first extended period of time ever, I was living, breathing and working in a highly structured environment of multi-tasking and pressure to prioritize.<\/p>\n<p>Covey&#8217;s book shed some insight then on how to mange my time to not only get the right things done first, but to strike a balance in both life &amp; work.<\/p>\n<p>Three years later Covey&#8217;s book is resonating with me differently. He writes on how in life, we will ALWAYS have many choices to make on how to delegate our time. There will always be more work to do. There will always be more people to see. There will always be more REST to get!<\/p>\n<p>So how can we &#8220;decide to decide&#8221; when it seems that there is pressure to just do &#8230; <strong>everything?!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We can decide on how to delegate our time, how to give our love and how to essentially live our lives to their highest potential by recognizing, realizing and then ACTUALIZING our principles.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Principle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The proper definition<\/a> of &#8220;principle&#8221; is cluttered with technical terms. In living terms, a principle is a personal statement to ourselves declaring what is most important to our happiness which contributes to a healthy &amp; harmonious life.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Covey&#8217;s inspiration, I took some time to write my &#8220;I will&#8221; principles. I&#8217;m calling them such because by preceding the principle&#8217;s declaration with&#8221;I will,&#8221; I am setting myself up mentally to have and meet my goals.<\/p>\n<p>When we take time every few months to write out our principles [because principles can change as we grow &amp; evolve] we are &#8220;stockpiling&#8221; these statements in our subconsciousness so that when the many forks in the road present themselves in our lives, we have a steadfast understanding of self to make the best decision for us &#8230; with no regrets, because we know inside that we are &#8220;standing by our principles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today I encourage you to begin thinking about YOUR principles. Take a few minutes to write what is important to you. I wrote a few of my &#8220;I will&#8221; statements below to give you inspiration.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>******<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will be the love I wish to receive.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will welcome change and constructive criticism.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will see abundance in every opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will receive with welcome &amp; let go with grace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will promote others first.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will listen before speaking.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will see my life as one of service.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will appreciate what I have.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will love myself fully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will celebrate kindness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;I will sympathize with pain brought against me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>******<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most important principle, I truly believe, is <strong>to welcome change &#8212; <\/strong>even that which we did not want in our lives.<\/p>\n<p>Because when we let go of that urge to &#8220;control,&#8221; and instead evaluate every moment of choice as it comes with the present mindset of how to act with influence from our principles, we need not fret that change is BAD. The &#8220;chains&#8221; we see in change are freed. Instead, we see change as liberating &#8230; as an opportunity <strong>to love of ourselves and are always-evolving lives.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Change is moving forward, and change embraced with our principles in mind will keep us on the <em>right path<\/em> as we move forward in our beautiful, perfect lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Thank you everyone for reading this
