ICRAVE Wisdom

I will seek wisdom.  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 seek wisdom.  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.

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 change 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.
