Weekly Wisdom from Karen

ILLUMINATION’S MIRROR Edition

How many times have you been stressed out by having to do something in the morning that could have been prepared the night before? Drthefit shares her techniques for saving yourself time. I know she is right because I’ve been doing all the points she mentions myself for years. My life is pretty stress-free.

Every day we make many decisions and choices in our life, what to eat, what to wear, do you need to make coffee at home or you can grab while going to work, what to watch. Many such decisions seem small and insignificant, but if you look back at the end of your day, you have made similar kinds of decisions 100 times in a day.

This writer has caught the eye of Genius Turner, it’s always a pleasure when Genius pops in for a read. Plus, advice on how to stay motivated is always welcome. Terrinia Tells us what she found keeps her motivated and thriving.

Motivation can be elusive and fleeting. You have a ton of projects in mind, and you feel ready to start your new life. But, you are constantly distracted by other things, and you can’t get yourself to sit down and work on your goals.

An intriguing title and opening paragraph from Harry Seitz. I like the way this author writes. He has a very wise head on his shoulders. It takes time and life-experience to get this wise.

There’s a great burden that comes with knowing so little about the world around us. It’s almost impossible for any one person to comprehend even a small fraction of it. For example, take your shoes. Do you have any idea how they’re made? In a pinch, how long would it take you, personally, to make one pair of decent shoes?

Speaking of brains, you might be interested to read this riveting science book review from M Fernando is a fascinating read. The human brain is an amazing adapter to situations.

Whilst most are born without complications, others might be born missing an organ or two, or perhaps with an extra organ entirely. Regardless, we accept these changes as our ‘conditions of life’ and move onwards with our lives.

Words of wisdom from Talya Adams learned from a dog pound guest. I think I might have fallen for Louie. This story brings a healthy dose of heartwarming philosophy.

When we made our appearance, there were only three dogs left. A packaged deal of two small ankle-biters and one lone pup off to the side, watching the action with anxious anticipation.

Star Read

Continuing in the philosophical vein, here’s some excellent wisdom from another of my ILLUMINATION idols, Britni Pepper.

The practical use of philosophy is not whether you can make money out of it, or stack the dishes in a better fashion or make somebody get you a fresh cup of coffee.

Thank you for reading.
