What is it to Be Principle-Centered?

The idea that you should ground your life in your own, consciously chosen
principles, rather than external circumstances like family, work, or material
possessions.

Why is it Important?
You won't feel consistently good about your life unless you ground it in
something solid: your own unchanging principles. If you ground yourself in
external circumstances, like you relationship or business, you will not be
grounded at all.
