So what should we really do about this issue? You choose always choose the right decisions/choices in life to lead us down the right path. If we don’t follow the right path, we can be left in a crossroad in our life that we have to try and get pass. In order for us to reach the Sacred, we should choose the right paths so we can live successful lives, live more in the image and likeness of God, and not allow the lights of the secular life lead us away from true salvation.
So to start, what really are the right paths to choose to live a successful life? Who makes this pathway for us to follow? What are the guidelines to living a good life? All these are many answers that one may ask in a lifetime. It is a part of our life that we need to find and complete. What gets us on the right pathway to live a successful life? Firstly, it starts off with the choices that we choose to make in our life. If we don’t make the proper choices in our life, it can lead to a hard life. First, we have to have respect for ourselves. By this, we need to help ourselves become better people because there is nobody else that can become a good person for you but yourself. In life, there is nobody handing us a silver spoon telling us what to do, yet we have to make our own decisions. If we want to follow the path, it starts in our daily lives with simple things such as going to school to get a proper education, treating your body with dignity and respect, etc. As long as you understand that your body belongs to you. Also, having respect for others is another key perspective in the path to the Sacred. By being a good person, treating people with respect and kindness, and caring for each other.

To follow this path, we need to first look at some things that are examples of living a good life. Jesus lived a life which is an example of living a good life. Jesus performed many miracles such as healing the nobleman’s son at Cana (John 4: 46-54), cleansed a leper (Matthew 8: 2-4), and even healed a lame man at the pool of Bethesda (John 5: 1-9). These are some examples of some miracles that Jesus performed throughout his lifetime. Throughout all the miracles performed, there is a lesson from each one of them. The lesson learned is that it doesn’t matter who you are, what you do, or how you live, anybody can be a Good Samaritan if they wish to be one. Regarding our daily lives, we need to respect the rules of society, respect the neighbors we have around us, and should always help those that are in need. If you look around society, there is always a person that needs a helping hand, but there are many few people there to give it.
