“Wisdom waits to be gathered. She cannot be bartered or sold. She is a gift for the diligent. And only the diligent will find her. Though wisdom is available to many, she is found by few. Find her, and you will find success and contentment.”
- Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively search her out.
- My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions today.
- I will train my eyes and ears to read and listen to books and recordings that bring about positive changes in my personal relationships and a greater understanding of my fellowman.
- No longer will I bombard my mind with materials that feed my doubts and fears.
- I will read and listen only to what increases my belief in myself and my future.
Re-source: Re-associate
I will choose my friends with care. I am who my friends are.
- I will choose to associate with people whose lives and lifestyles I admire.
- If I associate with chickens, I will learn to scratch at the ground and squabble over crumbs.
- If I associate with eagles, I will learn to soar to great heights. I am an eagle. It is my destiny to fly.
I will listen to the counsel of wise men.
- The words of a wise man are like raindrops on dry ground. They are precious and can be quickly used for immediate results.
- Only the blade of grass that catches a raindrop will prosper and grow.
- The person who ignores wise counsel is like the blade of grass untouched by the rain – soon to wither and die.
- When I counsel with just myself, I can make decisions only according to what I already know.
- By counseling with a wise man, I add his knowledge and experience to my own and dramatically increase my success.
