Should we wear our most expensive outfit
to a mud fight? Why then do we
continue to place ourselves in jobs,
situations and relationships that ruin
our peace, health and self-value?
Should we leave our most valuable
possession unguarded in a public
location? Why then do we place our
minds and bodies in the reach of those
persons and situations with a
demonstrated history of abuse or
neglect? We are, to ourselves, the
most valuable possession we have.
Yet we waste our time, energy and
sometimes our lives in worthless
situations among people who are
unworthy. We must value our ideas,
our energy, our time and our life to
such an infinite degree that we become
unwilling to waste who we are. If
we put on our best and go to a mud
fight, we can expect to get dirty.
If we place our head in the lion's
mouth, we should expect to get eaten
