Your guide to a healthier perspective of life
“A fool thinks himself to be wise, yet a wise man knows he is a fool.”
Smart people ask great questions, they don’t pretend to have all the answers. You have to be willing to listen and to be open to the possibility that you’re wrong in order to understand more. Learn when to talk and when to listen…
“How you do one thing is how you do everything.”
If you cut corners in one area of your life, it is much easier to justify cutting corners in other areas as well. Don’t give yourself permission to cheat in anything, no matter how trivial, otherwise it may lead you down a slippery slope to cheat on big things later. Even if you do something that isn’t considered cheating, is it reflecting your best work? Is there a cleaner, better, or more effective way of doing something and you just don’t want to put in the effort to do it correctly?
Practice doing things the “right way.” (Note: there are several correct ways to do things, you have to try to be objective in determining what is the best way to do something.) Don’t give into the temptation of doing what is easy, or if cutting corners when nobody is looking. Because if you do that, eventually it will erode you’re standards in everything you do. Remember, how you do one thing is how you do everything. Choose your actions wisely.
