I hope you enjoy this excerpt from my book “The Ascending Self” (TM) ©
The purpose of wisdom is not to prevent us from experiencing our humanity. It is to help us navigate our humanity more consciously.
Wisdom Requires Accountability
One of the most uncomfortable aspects of awareness is recognizing the moments when we know better but continue choosing familiar behaviors.
We may recognize that a reaction is disproportionate to the present circumstances.
We may understand that a relationship is no longer healthy.
We may know that a boundary needs to be established.
We may recognize that our behavior is causing harm to ourselves or others.
And yet, knowing does not always mean we are ready to act. ©
