Elder WiZdom: A seed needs help to grow; it cannot seed itself. Help can come from a variety of sources like, a farmer, a bee, or the wind. Not one person can truthfully say he or she made it in life without help from others.

Elder WiZdom: A seed does not pick its location but must deal with the vagaries of the soil where it is planted. Life in all of its randomness is infinitely fair and unfair depending on how you turn out.

Elder WiZdom: A seed is not guaranteed a good life even if all of the planting protocols are followed. Just because you follow the rules or decide to break the rules, does not mean you are exempt from the consequences of your action.

Elder WiZdom: I have learned that there is an art to making a wisdom deposit in a person by saying the right thing at the right time rather than the right thing at the wrong time—or worse, saying the wrong thing at the right time.

Elder WiZdom: You can want change but if you don’t have a vision for the new you, nor take the first steps to make change happen, then the old you will have to do.

Elder WiZdom: If you like where you are in life and have grown comfortable not having what you want out of life because of an inability to let go of the past – you WILL NEVER CHANGE. Stop asking for what you will not sacrifice to get.

Elder WiZdom: The worst thing to do when times call for something to be done is doing nothing...

Elder WiZdom: Trust must first be earned long before it is given out.

Elder Wizdom: You can't know how to properly address a challenge in life until you examine why the situation exist in the first place.

Elder WiZdom: Conditional love may work as long as the conditions that birthed it is working.

ElderWizdom: The power behind truth is hearing it at the same time you were searching for it!

Elder WiZdom: Learn from the past but don’t live in the past. It is clear but should be stated that the past cannot be altered. What was done was done and cannot be undone; no matter how hard or long you try or cry.

Elder WiZdom: Some folk do not believe they deserve to bear fruit. You can’t miss what you never had, but you can certainly act as if you always had it!

Elder WiZdom: Getting victory over trouble you can handle on your own can't compare to emerging victorious over trouble that once crushed you. Facts? Facts!

Elder WiZdom: Light is hard to find yet easy to lose. Darkness is easy to find yet hard to lose. One helps. The other hurts. Choose wisely.

Elder WiZdom: •It took years to get where you are; it is going to take time to get where you want to be. Be patient with the change process as you learn how to shed dysfunctional behavior, encumbered thinking, and rational words to justify irrational acts.

Elder WiZdom: Do the things in life that take time while you have time for surely there will come a time when time is no more.

Elder WiZdom: You can't miss what you never had, but you can certainly act like you always had it.

Elder WiZdom: In life you will have struggles that will call for summoning up invisible strength you did not know you have to overcome the visible problems you know you have.

Elder WiZdom: If you are waiting for the right time to start or end a behavior, relationship or project, it has already passed you by. It is time to stop waiting on something that will never arrive.
