Manifesto
Election season has just finished here in Scotland and a new Scottish Government has been elected.
During the election campaign the parties and many organisations in society were producingmanifestos filled with their aims and it got me thinking,
what would my manifesto for life be?
so I decided to note down a few things, here are three that stood out for me.
1. I will seek to live a life of justice.
For me this means I’ll seek to live in a way that doesn’t hurt others, that treats everyone with respect. I’ll seek to raise awareness of global poverty and injustice and I’ll make personal sacrifices to do what I can to end poverty.
2. I will take responsibility for my actions.
I think too often in life we look for someone to blame for the way our lives turn out. We conveniently forget about all the choices we make that shape our lives. It’s my aim to live an honest and moral life and when I make mistakes I hope to be big enough to accept them.
3. I will seek God in all that I do.
This is quite simple really. It’s my aim to understand what God wants me to do with this life he’s given me and then get out and do it.
If I manage to live out those three then I think I’ll be doing ok.
