BUILT IN HIS MIND - Counsel Is Greater Than Knowledge
In the age of smartphones and information overload, one timeless truth still holds weight across generations: wisdom is not just what you know, it’s what has stood the test of time. In every culture, the voices of the aged have echoed with warnings, insights, and directions that no algorithm can replace. This part of our journey highlights the unmatched value of tested counsel, especially when the world is shouting for speed, but success often requires stillness, reflection, and strategy.
The aged don’t always hold degrees, but they often hold treasures of tested wisdom. My grandmother, without any formal education, lived a life rich in principles that modern leadership seminars still echo.
On that same day of admiring the mansion, she continued:
“It wasn’t a surprise to me. That man saw the house long before we ever did.”
This, friends, is the difference between wishing and visioning. One is passive. The other, powerful.
Counsels of the Aged:
Modern culture often glorifies youthful knowledge, speed, tech skills, energy. But counsel is more than information; it’s experience applied, often sharpened by years of real-life consequence. Ignore it, and we risk reinventing painful wheels.
Everything you need to fulfil your purpose is likely already within reach. The difference between success and stagnation is often vision, the ability to look at your current situation and see beyond it.
In every tribe and tongue, wise elders whisper truths that technology cannot replace. From the Maori storytellers to Native American elders, from Caribbean grannies to Mediterranean grandfathers, timeless counsel crosses borders.
Action Point:
- Train your inner sight. Before you make your next move, sit down and THINK.
- Ask: “What am I not seeing yet?”
- Begin to create your tomorrow using the raw materials of today.
You don’t have to own the land to start building in your mind. Vision makes that possible.
