Wisdom
We all make decisions in life. Some turn out well, some turn out badly. Some we have no control over, some are down to us and us alone. Some we look back with pride and some we look back with regret. Some have little effect, some have lasting consequences.
It is a major way of learning but lack of knowledge, impatience, giving into feelings, circumstances, bad advice of so-called friends, upbringing, lack of conscience, lack of self-esteem, lack of discipline all conspire so that we end up in circumstances which we would not have deliberately chosen.
We need to understand how to make decisions. What we lack is an old fashioned word – wisdom.

Regrets
Regrets
Bronnie Ware, a nurse who counselled the dying in their last days, revealed the most common regrets we have at the end of our lives. Bronnie writes of the phenomenal clarity of vision that people gain at the end of their lives, and how we might learn from their wisdom. "When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently," she says, "common themes surfaced again and again”. The top 5 were:
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I hadn't worked so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

An international study revealed over ninety per cent of women aged between 15 and 64 years of age would change at least one thing about their body image if they could. It was reported that the number one change they would make was to their weight. It seems only 3 per cent of women do not make negative comments about their appearance. Women have these thoughts on average 13 times a day.
Audrey Hepburn wrote this when asked about her beauty tips:
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day....

A father gave his bad-tempered son a bag of nails and a hammer and asked him to hammer a nail into the back of the fence every time he lost his temper. Over the next few weeks he drove nails into the fence, often several times in a day. On each day when he did not lose his temper, his father asked him to pull out one nail.
Eventually the young boy was finally able to remove all the nails from the fence. He was excited to share this achievement with his father. As expected, the father was pleased and led the boy to the fence and pointed out the holes in the fence. They will remain there forever. Similarly, when you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like these.

The Thinker (Wrong Turns)
The Thinker (Wrong Turns)
Rodin's famous sculpture, 'The Thinker' was envisaged as part of a much larger work. He was to be placed on or by 'The Gates of Hell'. He watches the scene, wrapped in contemplation. His body suggests an intense intellectual struggle. While the right arm supports the head deep in thought, the left hand is open, as if wanting to intervene....

"The sound makes this song very unique and interesting. The slow addition of the woman singing builds the intensity and turns it into an actual song."
"The intro was incredible, I loved the subtle build up of instruments and the female voice. it was a very interesting song and I really don't know what genre I'd put it on but I think I would put this in a playlist."
"Song was great. I loved this women voice - gets me so happy just wow. She's amazing and production is excellent this should be heard more on the radio. I love it."
"This is a very interesting song, not usually something I listen to but I enjoyed the experience. The vocals and the beat were great and has a very sci-fi feel to it. Out of this world. The repetition of the main voice was interesting. Overall this song seems more of an experience, and I very much enjoyed it."
"The instrumental in the beginning has an 80s synth pop feel to it, and the vibe is very chill. The artist singing the song also has a beautiful voice and it is perfect. This song for me is a perfect 10."
