Talk to people who are older than you.
Their views will be different but they have wisdom you can use. Besides, someday you will be in those shoes.
Take Your Own Advice
You wouldn’t know it – but I changed my logo several months ago.
I even made a big deal out of it on line. Yet, I’ve been using the same older logo since that time.
“One of these days…,” I said “I’ll change it on my website and on my Monday Motivational Memo. But, it’s just so much work. It’ll take ‘forever.'”
Then I thought, “What advice would I give the folks who read what I write?”
I’d tell them to “Think 1st.”
I’d say:
- Pick 1 Thing
- Make it Small
- Do it Today
So I did… and now you see the results. (I hope you like it!)
We tend to be very good about giving others advice and, unfortunately, we don’t always use our own wisdom.
What’s the best advice you’d give someone else about a problem you’re facing?
Take your own advice. It’s coming from a very wise source.
Listening to Your Inner Voice
Most times, wisdom is found in the silence, not the talking.
We know more than we sometimes realize. Unfortunately, we don’t take the time to listen to ourselves as often as we need.
Take a moment. Shut off the TV. Put the computer to sleep. Turn down the radio. Quiet your mind.
Listen.
