FREEDOM


Oh, To Fly

Wings or fins
Feathers or gills
It doesn't matter you see.

Either way
I’m jealous to say
They so defy gravity!

WHAT IS IT THAT GIVES YOU YOUR WORTH?

Ever wonder why some people succeed more than others? Me too.

Perseverance

Initiative
Expertise
Technical knowledge at work
Inspiration
Memory
What is it that gives you your worth?

Do others say
You’re smarter than
You really think you are?
Perhaps it’s due
To the fact that you
Persevere when they do not.

THE FIVE BEST DOCTORS


The five best doctors anywhere,
And no one can deny it,
Are doctors sunshine, water, air,
Exercise, and diet.

These five will gladly you attend,
If only you are willing;
Your mind they'll cheer, your ills they'll mend,
And charge you not one shilling.



O.S. Hoffman, from Poems That Touch The Heart (1941, 1956)

YOGI WISDOM


Do you ever wonder why we sometimes choose the path that doesn't quite fit? 


"You've got to be very careful, if you don't know where you are going - because you might not get there."

Yogi Berra (1925-2015)

It takes time for intuition. But when she appears, she makes anything possible. Intuition allows us to know what is possible and where obstacles lie. Move in rhythm with intuition and life will unfold to your favor.

SAD TO HAVE TO UPDATE YEAR OF DEATH THIS WEEK. HE WAS A FUN MAN. CONDOLENCES TO YOGI'S FAMILY AND FRIENDS.

BE YOUR OWN WISDOM


"The men of experiment are like the ant, they only collect and use; the reasoners resemble spiders, who make cobwebs out of their own substance. 

But the bee takes the middle course: it gathers its material from the flowers of the garden and field, but transforms and digests it by a power of its own."

Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

"Knowledge is merely brilliance in the organization of ideas. It is not true wisdom. The truly wise go beyond knowledge."

Confucius (551-479 BC)


Be like the bee - be your own wisdom.
