3 Tips for Improving Your Wisdom + Pursuing Your Goals
Life is a great teacher. If you listen, your experiences can direct your path. Listening to other wise counsel will also bring you greater wisdom as you embark on each new path. The key is to be present enough to let life’s lessons speak to you. Here are a few approaches for allowing wisdom to enter into your life.

Tip #1: Gain Wisdom from Life Experiences. You don’t gain wisdom from playing small, so commit to living large and pursuing new opportunities. Be calculated, but take risks. At the same time, be real. You’ll make mistakes. But if your mistakes seem to be repeating themselves, ask, “Where do I keep messing up—and where can I gain wisdom from past experiences?” Use the confidence gained from your wins to push yourself forward, and the knowledge learned from your losses to course-correct. With each experience, your wisdom database will grow.

Tip #2: Seek Wisdom from People Who’ve Achieved What You Want. Accessing the right kind of wisdom for the right kinds of decisions is the key to accelerating your way to the life you want. But you also have to be sure that the people you're listening to have actually achieved results—not just formed opinions.

While it may seem obvious, you’d be surprised how many people ask their broke neighbor for financial advice, or seek marriage advice from someone who’s currently not speaking to their spouse and been divorced three times. And if you own a business and are looking for a mentor to guide you through your growth phase or a particularly tricky transaction, this point will be even more important. Be judicious. Check credentials. Make sure the expert you’re listening to has already succeeded in the specific area where you want to excel.

Tip #3: Spend Time in Proportion to the Decision Being Made. Deciding to buy a pack of gum or bottle of water takes just seconds, while purchasing a home, deciding to get married, or making a change in your career path requires serious time and dedicated analysis. Make certain that the time you spend making the decision is directly proportional to the impact of the decision being made. Make small decisions quickly, but give big decisions the time they need.

Of course, using wisdom to achieve your goals is only a part of the process of creating amazing achievements and overall balance in your life. There’s also your finances, fitness, career, faith, friends and fun time to consider. The key is to decide what you want in these areas, make some goals, and stay accountable to taking action daily to bring them about.Working with a coach can help keep you on track and accountable for results.

Meet Lori Atkinson | Back 2 Nature 4 Health

 

I am a country girl, turned city girl, turned suburban girl! My family and I have settled in the pines of a quiet suburban neighborhood after living in the city for the last 12 years. We purchased our dream home and are slowly making it ours. Most days you will find me hanging out with my very gifted and talented daughter, helping to run multiple family businesses, hanging in the yard with our rambunctious dogs, or hanging poolside with my husband. My favorite hobbies are researching healthy living and nutrition, spending time outdoors, drinking hot beverages, lounging in the sun, reading, watching tv/movies and crocheting. 


Eight years ago, my life changed in an instant. I was involved in a serious car accident. I was left with pain that started in my chest, went down my arm and into my hand. In the days that turned into months after this accident the pain left me wiped out both mentally, physically and turned me into an emotional wreck. I felt hopeless, like I was spiraling out of control and I didn’t even recognize myself anymore.


One day, I was introduced to a product that a lot of people are talking about lately. I was skeptical that it would help. To be honest, I’d used a similar product in the past with no relief. Why would this time be any different?


So this time I did my research before purchasing. In fact I spent days researching all the options and companies out there that offered this product or something similar. In the end I landed on a company that was set apart from its competitors. They were different in so many great ways. I was desperate for a solution so I ordered.


Now, my life and my families lives are dramatically different. I used to have to put on my game face and press through the day all the while I felt like I was dying inside. Not anymore!


Now, I’m fearless. And I’m on a mission to help a whole lot of people break free and empower themselves with the knowledge and resources I’ve worked so hard to get for myself and my family. Because I believe that, "Once You Know Better, You Will Do Better!”


How many times have you tried to create new habits, start new diets, introduce new patterns in your life, and you wound up feeling as bad--if not worse--than when you started?


It's time to get off the wheel and finally start experiencing your best life.
