Our principles in life

All of us encountered different experience and situations that we come across a principle that touched us very deeply that we go and live by it from day to day as much as possible. Share a situation or two you were in and what principle have you applied from it?
As for me, it was a couple of years ago. Around 5-6 years. I was really down. I was drinking and smoking a lot and I've been to bars and night clubs almost everyday. As time passed by, I started to feel empty. I became lonely and really out of it. I always stare in the horizon with and empty mind and heard. Then, I started to think, what am I gonna do with my life? I'm doing nothing...
Then came a movie called Bedazzled with Brendan Fraser and Elizabeth Hurley. It gave me a fresh start. "In our life we want this and that but we realize we can't just get it with just a wave of a wand". Then, it creeped into me. Very deeply. Then, as Brendan's line said, "It really isn't that important how far we go in life anyway, it is how we get there that really matters."

when i have found out that there was a big problem in my board exam last 2006 i felt that the world has fallen on me..i am starting to work,i have already made friends with my co workers,i love the job that i have plus it is close in our home..then i became to realize through the support of my SFC community that this is just a small challenge in my life..God put me into this test to know how tough i am and how can i handle such situations given to me..some sharings in my SFC siblings really gave me the shake that i need..i took the courage to take the exam again..and through God's guidance and help i have passed it again..

That is fantastic that you have manage to make all these positive changes in your life well done. I lvoe the film Bedazzled and the lesson from me was that you have to be very specific in what you ask for in life else you just might get it and the love for another is far greater than anything else too as that is what saved him eh! Ellie :D

Thank you ellie.
Yeah, it was hard turn but I'm happy it's going the right way. As the saying goes, Love conquers all.
Oh and yeah, let's be careful of what we wish for, we might actually get it. I agree to that. Thanks again!

Yeah, life changing situations come in the most unlikely ways, but as for me, I know believing in God keeps me looking at life with hope nomatter what situation i find myself-that has helped me to cope!

Yeah, I agree with that. Sometimes we apply what some famous people have lived by and what principle they had stood by.
Thanks my friend!
