Policies and Procedures.

What are policies and procedures? Well, to answer that question I’ll have to answer another one. Do I consider my life a business? That is, do I plan my future? Am I careful about how I invest my assets? Am I concerned about receiving a profit on my investments? Am I planning for my retirement?

These are basic business questions that anyone interested in starting a business needs to answer. So, in this light, I am a business. Any business, in order to stay in business, needs to promote itself as a believable, trustworthy, reliable institution. In order to be successful in whatever venture I decide for my life,

• I need to know what I stand for,
• what I want,
• how I am going to achieve it
• why I am doing it.

What I stand for are my policies. This is what I value in my life. My policies are what makes my life worthwhile. It is important to know that what I think are my policies actually ARE my policies, not Mama’s or Papa’s.

The reason for this is because my policies support my thrust, my spiritual purpose for being here. I want to live my life for myself, not to please mama or papa. Which is what I learned to do and had to do as a child.

What I want is obvious, it is what makes me happy.

How I am going to achieve it is my procedures. Again, these reflect what I learned as a child, unconsciously – just by watching Mama and Papa. That’s how I learned to do things.

Why I am doing it is my spiritual thrust. It is the reason I am here.
