You Are Wiser Than You Think You Are

Most of us are far wiser than we may appear to be.

We know how to keep our relationships in order and

to use our time well and

to improve our health and

to learn valuable skills and

to solve many other riddles of existence.

But following even the straight and open path to happiness is hard.

If your best friend were to ask you how he or she could live a better life, you would probably find many useful things to say.

And yet you might not live this way yourself.

In his book,Waking Up, Sam Harris sums up this idea with the following:

"On one level, wisdom is nothing more profound than an ability to follow one's own advice."
