Today’s prompt: Don’t be wise, a.k.a. kill the guru voice.

Please.

Something about Notes does something to us and we suddenly want to proclaim on high instead of being ourselves.

Don’t be wise; be real.

  • Go to an old Note that has that here’s-the-meaning-of-life vibe.

  • Give an example from your life instead.

EXAMPLE

  • Wise Note: Trust the flow of life and allow things to unfold.

  • Note that’s you being yourself: My post went out yesterday with the wrong headings, eight typos, and a header that was a week old and no longer relevant. I’m rolling with it. (something like this)


Preview of tomorrow’s challenge: Don’t be shallow. Add depth by showing the complexity of life: Go to an old Note. Read what you’ve written. Take at least one aspect of it and prove yourself wrong, i.e., show both sides.


◾️ HEALTH & WELLNESS AND FAITH & SPIRITUALITY

◾️ CULTURE AND OTHERS
