Lesson 24
Excelsior!
Deuteronomy 31:6- Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.
In everything you do, have faith and confidence. Employ realistic and logical measures to achieve your goals. Do your best in all your endeavors and leave the rest to God. He will take care of you. When you encounter obstacles, view them as opportunities rather than difficulties/ challenges. Learn from your mistakes to prevent them from happening again. Take heed to the warnings you receive in the form of various signs and messages in the physical world.
Embrace small, modest, energy efficient homes instead of large houses in which you may feel unsafe and lonely at times. Try to live close to where you work or work close to where you live which will make you more time efficient. Dress simple instead of buying expensive clothes, which serve the same purpose as a simple wardrobe. Care your clothes so they can last. Wash clothes instead of throwing them away as they become soiled. Avoid buying unnecessary appliances and furniture. Buy only what you are certain you will need.
As you do things daily, ensure that you care for the environment. Ride a bicycle, take public transportation, carpool or walk to places instead of driving in order to reduce the amount of vehicle emissions into the atmosphere which would contribute to air pollution and 'bad' air. If driving, consider getting many things done at once. Do not litter your surroundings. Reuse waste. Recycle plastics, glass and paper. Use plant waste as compost/ mulch for your plants. An old saying from the great depression years that you may use to remember these guidelines is, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without."
So remember that: You must fearlessly do your best in everything you set forth to achieve.
