I have found a few truths to repeat over and over again throughout my life. Often I have ignored them to my detriment.

  • Don’t ignore or suppress your intuition. Especially when on the surface everything could not be going or looking better.
  • More often than not the loudest voice is not the most knowledgeable. Wise people are often silent because they are all too aware of their lack of knowledge…for this reason they hesitate and when they do speak they avoid absolutes. Strangely the human brain is wired to discount this.
  • There is room for you. It doesn’t matter how many people have gone before you and done it. Knowledge is constantly lost and revived and all the way from childhood we all learn best by repetition.
  • It is folly to spend your life trying to accumulate money just for the sake of it. There are far more precious things in life than money, you don’t want to miss out on them. Poverty is not to be desired either.
  • People are constantly showing and telling you who they really are. Pay attention.

Blessings!
