Hopefully we use wisdom in all of our decision making, whether they are big or small.

I know people should…but do you?
Loading...
I try to. I do for the most part.
Loading...
Do you view “for the most part” as being good enough?
Loading...
No, definitely not. I will always be a work in progress, as I think we all are.
Loading...
I am glad you have the self-awareness.
Loading...
I think the world would be a much better place if more people had self awareness and worked on fixing themselves rather than changing others.

What is an area you think could you a little more wisdom?
Loading...
Oh that’s a loaded question, my friend. I think the biggest area where i need some help and A LOT more wisdom, is learning to keep my big fat mouth shut a lot more. I gt into so much trouble because I speak my mind. 🙂
Loading...
I have a friend who thinks speaking his mind is an admirable trait and sometimes it is. What he fails to realize is he sometimes takes liberties to simply say whatever he wants bluntly. This gets him into trouble.
Loading...
I can definitely relate to that. 🙂
Loading...
Hahaha! Not always! 😏
Loading...
I find it interesting how quickly answer yes. lol Everyone should answer no or not always.
Loading...
Anyone who says they make wise decisions…EVERY TIME…small or large, is either lying, delusional, or both. 😃
Loading...
I vote “both”. lol
Loading...
😃
Loading...
Yes, but if a situation is stupid, wisdom don;t work.
Loading...
I am referring to things like choosing healthy food instead of fast food. Maybe going for a walk instead of watching television.
Loading...
I like to think so, but hindsight being 20-20, I find I fool myself with some regularity. I do tend to avoid fast food and gave up TV years ago – not so good on regular exercise.

People often say “You only live once”, but where do you draw the line between enjoyment and using wisdom? Especially having the long-term in mind.
Loading...
Should there be a conflict between enjoyment and wisdom? Hmmm – Do we really see wisdom as boring, as stoic self-denial, necessarily aesthetic, and pleasure as foolish and inevitably somehow harmful, even sinful? I think there must be a place for “enjoy wisely”.
Loading...
I guess it depends on how you define enjoyment. And then one must possess wisdom. lol
Loading...
I recently saw it observed that wisdom is gained through experience, and that experience happens through lack of wisdom.
Loading...
A vicious catch-22.
Loading...
Indeed, but then, who of us learned to walk without falling down a lot?
Loading...
Good point.
Loading...
Big or small, yes!!
Loading...
Every single time? I would argue that if you did you might be the only human in history to do so. lol
Loading...
All decisions are important. It doesn’t matter whether they are big or little ones. A small, decision poorly made can turn into a huge problem.
Loading...
Try to, but no one is perfect

What area do you think you might improve a little that would improve your life over the next couple of years? For me it is getting some fat off my body. I think that by controlling my food I can reduce weight which should reduce the pressure on my legs which will make me feel better in the future.

Naw, not usually, I am impulsive and having escaped complete disaster for the last 50 odd years I may as well carry on regardless, you can ‘THINK’ yourself out of so many good ideas 😂
Loading...
That is an interesting approach.
Loading...
I wish that I could say yes, but most of the time it is probably my gut!! That being said…is my gut instinct the way that it is because of wisdom? Hmm!
Loading...
Is there one particular area which could use a bit more wisdom?
Loading...
No, I’m just an impulsive reactor 😊
Loading...
I am going to say yes at the time, but then when looking back, I think you utter idiot on some. For example having that extra glass of wine over Christmas, was not a wise decision the next day
Loading...
I think ‘wisdom’ is possessed by .000001 % of the population. lol

I think that is probably an over estimate.
