The Fool 2

"The fool who knows he is a fool is that much wiser."

Sometimes we do things that we regret, or at the very least, know aren't in our best interest, or in accordance to our values, but we do them anyway because they are the easy thing to do. We throw out what can be recycled, we step over the beggar in the street, we grab the barking dog by the collar and drag him off into his crate, buy things we shouldn't, eat too much, drink too much, forget to do the nice little things that show those around us how much we love them. I've sometimes done all of those things on one day, and boy is it exhausting.  Becoming aware of doing these things goes a long way to becoming mindful of how you are living your life. My challenge to you as a reader is to think about what is important to you, to what you value and see if there is a disconnect between what you believe and how you act, and if there is, pick one thing that you can become more aware of and replace it with a behavior that is more in line with your own values.
