I have always thought that grandparents were the icons of wisdom, the “go to” person with he answers, the epitome of patience.

When I was young, I often thought, “When I grow up, I want to be like Grandpa”. I looked forward with anxious anticipation to the time when I would have all the answers and all the sage advice.

All of our parents are gone, now, and I have discovered, as I suppose they discovered, that all I have really done is gotten older.

I have learned that being a wise parent and grandparent is not so much what I know, but what I do. And the greatest truth I have learned is that one does not need to grow old to grow wise. The reality is that everyone grows older. What matters is what we keep and/or lose in the process.

We need to keep a sense of humor, but lose the mindless silliness of adolescence. We need to somehow keep our internal youthfulness but lose the irresponsibleness of adolescence. We need to retain our integrity while acknowledging the reality of shades of truth. We must struggle to maintain our health without the obsession of the fitness of youth. We need to encourage sympathy and empathy, while shunning the devastation of “attitude”. We learn to put aside the “me first” approach in favor of a sincere desire to share beyond ourselves and out families.

Being an adult simply means that we now know what we should be doing and we move ahead without supervision and do it, even when we really may not feel much like doing it at the time. And so it is and should be in all aspects and areas of our life.

1. FEAR Don’t Let it Control You! By Glen Hopkins
Fear. What is it? Can you touch it? Can you hold it? Can you show it to another person? I can almost hear you from where I am sitting. No, no, no. Okay then, so you can’t touch it, you can’t hold it, and you can’t show it to another person. The question then is, why? Why do we have fear? Fear is nothing more than an emotion or a feeling that we hold in our mind. We fear either the emotional or physical pain something may cause. The problem is, …

2. Building Bridges, Not Walls! By Willie Jones
Only twenty years ago, people would casually stroll the neibourhood, stop and chat with each other or walk down the street and greet you cordially. Nowadays people walk at a very fast pace and for the most part just walk past you looking at the ground lost in their own thoughts. It seems less people will say hello to a stranger.So it seems to a lesser degree with family and friends. Have we in this society lost some of our ability to communi…

Many of us invest quality time and energy in our personal development. We buy inspiring books, sometimes with the workbooks or journals that complement them. We discuss psychology with our friends, or we look for friends with whom we can have open discussions on the subject. There is activity in our mind—at times, a little bit of confusion. We encounter so many different lines of thoughts, so many tools, so many exploratory exercises we can do.…
