After seeing the discussion generated from my “The Buck Stops Here” post, I thought I wold continue posting the rest of the excerpts from the book The Traveler’s Gift. These excerpts are the 7 life decisions given to the main character in the book in letter form from various historical figures throughout time, which he met during his magical journey. The author Andy Andrews feels these seven decisions are the key to personal success and happiness. I poster the first decision, and so here’s the second.
The first time I read this book I knew hardly anything about Buddhism, and It’s been interesting how the message I find in these words has changed since my perspective on life and living have changed over the course of my personal spiritual journey.
I’d love to hear your personal take on this and what message or meaning you find within.
(Excerpt From The Traveler’s Gift by Andy Andrews)
I will seek wisdom.
Knowing that wisdom waits to be gathered, I will actively search her out. My past can never be changed, but I can change the future by changing my actions today. I will change my actions today! I will train my eyes and ears to read and listen to books and recordings that bring about positive changes in my personal relationships and a greater understanding of my fellow man. No longer will I bombard my mind with materials that feed my doubts and fears. I will read and listen only to that which increases my belief in myself and my future.
