23 Principles for a Great Life Priscilla Partridge de Garcia

Scott Peck in his famous book The Road Less Traveled begins: Life is difficult. Once we truly know that life is difficult - once we truly understand and accept it - then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters. `Paul says in Philippians 3:12-16: Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. Only let us hold true to what we have attained. As Christians we are called to forget anything and everything that impedes forward progress: past attainments and past disappointments. Paul is essentially saying: Whatever strides I have made, whatever ground I have covered, whatever I have accomplished, I do not consider myself done running. There is more yet to do.
