Self-Trust / Knowing The Signs

Do you trust your own judgement?

Sometimes even smart people use bad judgement. Only 87 men have climbed all seven of the world's highest mountain peaks. Hundreds have tried and many have died on mountaintops because they forgot that getting to the top is optional but getting down is not.

Mountain climbers have to pay attention to the signs and turn back when things become dangerous. Unfortunately many get excited about reaching the top and ignore the most important things.

The same is true for you. You have signs to follow everyday. It might be a feeling that something is wrong. Pay attention to this inner voice because it's job is to protect you. Anytime you are uncertain - change your plans.

The mark of true intelligence is the ability to change your own thinking. Today ask yourself what thinking you have that needs changing. Remember those 87 mountain climbers only made it to the top and back because they paid attention.

Pay attention. It's hard work but no one can do this hard work but you!
