The first is that without God
there is nothing and with God
there is everything. The second is
that if you help ten people in life
count yourself lucky if one
returns to say thank you and
count yourself lucky if only one
of the ten betrays you. The third
is that you must trust no-one
because it is those that are
closest to you that will hurt you
the most. The fourth is that you
must never write off or despise
anyone no matter how bad their
situation because you don't
know what they may become
tomorrow. The fifth is that you
cannot afford not to help your
friends and you cannot afford
not to fight your enemies. The
sixth is that true knowledge and
insight is gained not by the best
secular education or even by
life's many experiences but
rather it is gained by divine
revelation. The seventh and final
lesson is that you must conquer
your fears and no matter what
you are going through, be
positive, be happy and hold on to
your faith in God knowing that
He that created you is quietly
working His purpose out for
your life and He will never
forsake or leave you either in
this life or in the life to come.
Seven is the number of
perfection so let me stop there
but if you can hold on to these
seven home truths you will go
far in life and nothing will hold
you down.
