Wisdom (My father's advice)

-

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of the wisdom. - Proverbs 9:10

It's hard for someone like me to act wisely and behave prudently in social interactions. I have a habit of compromising my own notions for the sake of others, and I care too much about others' opinions. Therefore, I really need wisdom from God.

I believe that if we want to become wiser, the first step is to fear God. This fear is not the way we typically think of it; we should fear Him and at the same time love Him because He is a loving God. The moment I started to fear God, I saw my flaws and weaknesses in my daily life, and I believe that this is a sign that God wants me to change and become wiser. So, I need to reflect on my flaws and then adjust myself.

Lately, I realized something important - actually, it wasn't my own conception, but rather a piece of advice from my dad. He told me that if I want to adapt to any situation, act normally, or excel in every situation, I need to always think ahead to the next move. This is one of the most valuable pieces of advice I have received from my dad, and every now and then, I realize how true and important it is, especially when I engage in social situations.

So, if I want to act in a logical and reasonable way, I need to stop mindlessly living like a leaf drifting wherever the wind blows. Instead, I need to always think ahead of the outcome, and then set up the most efficient move for the next step.

The Power of a Low-Tone Voice

-
When I speak with a high-pitched voice, I feel like I lose my composure, and even the listeners may not pay much attention to me. However, every time I speak in a natural, grounded, or low-tone voice, I feel like I have control over the situation, and the listeners also listen to me attentively. And if they don't, I don't get frustrated or feel bad; instead, I can come up with a better idea or course of action. Therefore, I believe that speaking in a low voice is beneficial for me to maintain my masculinity and composure.

How will I take care of my life's principles

-

Things I should know when trying to protect the principles of my life. 1. I protect my faith, bravery, and honor by embracing my new self in the Lord.  2. I boldly confront any bad attitude stemming from my sinful flesh and allow my new identity in Christ to prevail.  3. Regardless of others' opinions, even if they look down on me or don't admire me because of my actions or words, I will always respect and protect my new being, which I have through Christ, thus preserving my honor and bravery. How my sinful flesh wants to protect his principles vs How my new self wants to protect his principles. My old self wants to take revenge to protect his honor and bravery. My new self leaves revenge to God to protect his honor and bravery. My old self wants to impress. My new self wants to stay true. My old self wants to retaliate to protect his honor (respect). If required, my new self will suffer for the love of God to protect his honor (respect). My old self runs away in times of need...
