This is the Four Spiritual Maxims from Brother Lawrence which was first published in 1692 and it is still being used and read now.

“First, We must always keep our eyes on God and His glory in all we do, say or undertake. May the goal towards which we strive be to become perfect worshipers of God in this life, just as we hope to be throughout all eternity. Resolve firmly to overcome, by the grace of God, all the difficulties found in the spiritual life.”

“Second, When we undertake the spiritual life we must consider in depth who we are, and we will find ourselves worthy of all scorn, unworthy of the name of Christian, and subject to all sorts of afflictions, and countless misfortunes. We will find that these woes not only trouble us but also make us uncertain in our health, in our moods, and in our inner and outward dispositions. In short, we will find ourselves among those whom God chooses to make humble through an abundance of sufferings and travails, both within and without.”

“Third, We must believe beyond any doubt that it is to our advantage to sacrifice ourselves to God and that he is pleased by our sacrifice. It is normal in His divine Providence that we should be abandoned to all sorts of conditions, sufferings, afflictions, and temptations for the love of God, as much and for as long as it is His will. Without this submission of heart and spirit to the will of God, there can be no devotion or going on to perfection.”

“Fourth, A soul is all the more dependent on grace as it aspires to higher perfection, and the help and assistance of God are all the more necessary to us every moment because without Him the soul can do nothing. The world, the flesh and the devil all combine to make such a strong and continual war against the soul that without the very present help of God and our humble and necessary dependence upon Him, they would carry it away in spite of itself. To our nature this seems harsh, but grace takes pleasure in being dependent upon God and finds its rest in Him.”

Your thoughts? Agreements? Disagreements? Challenges?

u're gonna see a lot of my opinions.

First Line: To keep our eyes on God always and be spiritually his. That is Perfection. hahaha. Schools are not even about perfection. The tree with the apple. enough said there.
But people want to go to school, and people with money want u to. Tree.

I think people should get to 50 Million in bank. Then they can help change the world. No more listening to others on things , that can have moral consequences.
Just start up to 3 businesses that u are interested in. Hire 2 one hundred K a year bodyguards. Keep a Lawyer in the family. Techonology/Security Specialist on cell phone.

Buy Some Beach Property and rent. Also let money in bank generate a little interest. Lastly, use logic, moderation, morals, spirituality, judgement, to affect the people u manage.
