“Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.”
Unfortunately most of us just get old and never wise. We experience life BUT rarely do we take a moment to think about the meaning of our actions and the wisdom contained in the results. Instead we often say, "
Man if I could go back to 'a particular time', and I could know what I know now, I would be dangerous!" Unfortunately, life does not give a time machine or a re-play button.
As I point out in my book, The Result, in life we seldom get complete success or failure BUT we always get a result. It is wisdom to learn from the result and create a nudge towards a better result. As Ben would urge... Wise Up. The wisdom comes from the pause in order to determine a nudge worth taking.
We have to wise up early enough in our lives in order for the rest of our life to be more successful and have a deep meaning. Pause and think about things. Pause.
Today's question is:
"How often do you pause in order to wise up?"
