The Educated Person: 07-14-2025

1. The educated person knows that no person, place, or thing has power over their attitude.
2. The educated person knows that when they cannot change a situation, it is time to change their response to it.
3. The educated person knows that the idea of death can be the great motivator to serve virtue and God rather than petty selfish desires.
4. The educated person knows that it is their choice to develop their abilities, capabilities, knowledge, skills, and talents, and that this choice ultimately determines their success or failure in life.
5. The educated person knows that the self does not change; only our feelings, intentions, thoughts, responses, habits, and preferences change, not the self itself (the one exception being rebirth through Jesus Christ).
