Wisdom and excellence are friends, not family

Aristotle quote about excellence and habits
Yesterday morning.

Wisdom is also leaving undone that which doesn’t matter, even when it seems so.

Excellence at something that isn’t your highest calling isn’t wisdom.

Be brutally honest with this person at all costs?

Quote about telling the truth
The first person we want to be brutally honest with is ourself

 

Be brutally honest with this person at all costs?

First and foremost, ourselves.

Yes, at all costs.

Be careful with everyone else though.

It can have the reverse effect.

Pain. Intimidation. Self-righteousness. Narcissist. Zealot.

Let the fear of being condemned and labeled be the cross you bear.

Eventually, you’ll come to realize what they think is pointless.
