Wisdom that's known, but never followed... from Infernal Acumen's blog

All the time we read about the things we should do. All the time we think about what should have been done. All the time we think about how much we are failing ourselves, but never do anything to enact a course correction.

SILENCE:

Silence is powerful. Silence can cause confusion. Silence can cause decisions to be made against the humdrum of the mundane in life. Silence can cause wars. Silence is a deadly weapon. Learn to use it wisely Next time you wish to speak, question if your purpose would be better served by silence.

FINANCIAL INDEPENCE:

Money isn't the key to financial freedom; proper financial management is. There are millionaires today living paycheck to paycheck and their are lower level middle class families who have several years of savings. Financial stability doesn't care how much money you have, but much rather how you allocate and spend those funds.

YOUR FUTURE:

Investing in yourself. Invest in your financial future through the stock market. Invest in your career with schools, and other forms of training. Invest in your family and friends by spending time with them. Investing isn't a sacrifice. When sacrificing, you get nothing back; there is no return on investment. Just your situations carefully to invest, don't sacrifice.

And this list could go on. There are countless nuggets of wise information out there. Do what you already know you should be doing. If you don't know what to do, seek guidance. We are all falling short in one aspect or another. Strengthen your weaknesses. You owe at least that much to yourself.
