Reliable Virtue Precision Makes Us Dependable
Our progress depends on our attention to details. By giving these good thought, we develop mentally and can better meet more important issues. – Lemurian Philosophy
I had read these words about the reliable virtue Precision in my Lemurian study, but they really hit home when I found myself in a quagmire of paperwork, hunting for a single receipt. We needed this as proof of our car repair. And it was somewhere in the stacks of papers I’d set aside to file . . . someday. That day had arrived if I wanted to find that receipt!
No more wasting precious time digging through piles of paper! I decided to bite the bullet and use the good advice my Lemurian lessons offered. It took a few days of piles on the living room floor until it was organized – but it was worth it! And how satisfying to find the receipt and have everything neatly filed away.
Later, when mortgage rates dropped, it was to our advantage to refinance our mortgage. Anxiety started to build as I remembered the first time we refinanced, the hours sorting through receipts for information my husband needed to do the paperwork. Now, I’d have to do it on my own as he had set-in-stone deadlines at work. I felt completely inadequate to do this alone, but I had to so the house payment would be liveably lower. Setting my fears aside, I jumped in. With the filing I’d done earlier, it took just an hour to gather everything and get the job done. Now I was a believer in the reliable virtue Precision!
As long as I keep up with the filing, I have no trouble finding what I need when I need it, even under time pressure. And when something unexpected comes up, I can control my anxiety about handling the situation. I really get how helpful Precision is and how good it feels to be organized.
The reliable virtue Precision has become my friend. At a time when there’s so much said about how little time there is – how stressful life is – this virtue helps me free up time to meet the smaller daily challenges and handle the bigger ones more effectively. And as a Lemurian, this gives me precious time to fulfill my purpose in life and use my mind to grow spiritually.

Wow! Enjoying your thoughts about Precision AND that beautiful table leg? behind you in the pix! Wish we could have more visual images online of Lemurian Crafting like THAT! Thanks so much!
I belong to an anonymous organization where we have a group that meets once a week to help people and ourselves to recover from the effects of addiction. I have been committed to the group for over seven years and hold a secretary positon. Recently I talked to a fellow member who also holds an important position in the group which has grown fairly large to 30-40 people, asking if he was going to the weekly meeting. He said he would try to make it, but didn’t know. Then he asked if I were going and I said a definite yes, “because I am committed,” and I thought about the virtue Precision. He became defensive and began to speak of his commitment. I understood but I felt it was better to be definite. He did honor his commitment on the day of the meeting, possibly because of our conversation about precision.
What a timely blog what with tax season right around the corner! Being able to find the information and paper work that I need, makes a dreaded task much more manageable. Precision can lead to efficiency which leads to a more peaceful and contented life. That is what the Lemurian Philosophy helps me do.
I sure can relate to this! It is so easy to procrastinate about things that are unappealing, like filing papers. However, I too am getting better about files and records. Another area I learning to be more Precise about, is time. I am learning to be prompt. People appreciate promptness, and I can see it is simply thoughtful and courteous. Precision sounded so cold to me before I realized it has improved my approach to people.
I find that the heart of this article is the final paragraph’s encouragement to make Precision your friend. Now that is a sentiment I’ve never given any thought to . . . make a virtue my friend? And yet in the example given, this friend can come in very handy in today’s turbulent environment enabling one to keep their head about them rather than wasting time fretting over finding what should be readily available. Thanks for sharing.
A timely blog. I’m presently getting my tax information for my business and our personal incomes together to get to the preparer. There is a lot of data to keep track of. After a bout last year with misplaced information and documents, we reorganized our filing system like you did. It was a real time and stress saver this weekend. Efficiency always needs a big dose of Precision!
