The way of fools seems right to them,
but the wise listen to advice.
—Proverbs 12:15
(continued)
- See opportunities where others see obstacles.
- Think progress, not perfection.
- Ask yourself, “Is this necessary?”
- Lighten up.
- Focus on what you can control.
- “What would Jesus do?”
- If you wouldn’t want it known who said it, don’t say it.
- Think everything you say, but don’t say everything you think.
- Never too bad, never too old, never too late to change.
- A small want-list is a large blessing.
- Learn from the past, but don’t let it define your future.
- Be at peace with God’s timing.
- Before speaking, ask yourself if it will improve on the silence.
- Today you are the oldest you’ve ever been—and the youngest you’ll ever be.
- Give thanks for what you have instead of whining about what you don’t have.
It’s one thing to be smart,
quite another to be wise.
