Real wisdom comes from self-understanding. More than two thousand years ago, the philosopher Plato founded a school in ancient Greece. Above the entrance to that school, a very brief motto was carved in stone, “Know thyself!”. To gain wisdom we must gain an understanding of our own minds and hearts.

Throughout my career with increasing frequency, I've been presenting seminars and workshops on personal and professional excellence. And one of the things I always suggest is that people who are at distinct stages in their lives should network and mastermind with one another, that people of different ages have a great deal to teach one another. And we should find ways to let that happen.

I like to use a bit of baseball terminology to explain this. I talk about the difference between a rookie and a veteran. You really need both to create an effective team. The young player has a lot of enthusiasm and a willingness to try new things while a veteran has the experience and the patience to handle different situations, without losing poise.

What are the seven most important lessons you've learned over the course of your life, that you consider most important to pass on to the generations that come after you?

Health is an area that has undergone some basic changes in perspective. Earlier generations came of age in a time when expectations were vastly different from what they are today about physical well-being, illness, and length of life.

It was less than a hundred years ago that soldiers going into battle in the first world war asked one another a sarcastic question, “What's the matter,” they would say, “Do you want to live forever?”

“Life is a loan, not a gift. It is offered to you as a faithful caretaker with no guarantees of health or safe passage. Since you have not the power to predict the length of the journey, you must ensure and inspire it with quality and meaning.”

Like it or not, your body is yours for the duration. If you care about your life, take care of your body. It is the transport vehicle for your journey. Very much like a car, without proper fuel and maintenance, your body will fall apart.

Good health does not just mean an absence of illness. It is a state of mind and heart as well as your body. It is being able to enjoy each day to the fullest, making the best of what happens.

It is important to accept what does happen with a measure of grace. It is a day-to-day, moment-by-moment process that includes diet and exercise, while avoiding stress and negative emotions.

According to the Mayo Clinic, your state of mind may grant you an additional 12 years of life. Men and women, who live to ripe old ages, are optimists. They maintain a positive outlook on life.

They have friends who share hobbies or interests that bring them pleasure. They are quick to laughter and slow to anger.

Optimism does not mean these people are unrealistic or counting on immortality. They know their bodies will inevitably age. Weakness, frailty, and sickness are inevitable; however, your heart and mind can remain young and vital.

You can, should, and must do everything possible to maintain good health for as long as possible. When negative changes do occur, greet them with a positive perspective. Don’t despair or forget all you have learned about living with an optimistic, positive attitude.

The ability to laugh and love does not disappear when you suffer from ill health. You can still enjoy the beauty around you and your relationships with your family and friends. The pleasures of life are unlimited.

When age, frailty, and illness become your reality, you are not a failure. Avoid becoming despondent or regretful. No one, not even you are perfect. Don’t beat yourself up.

If you invest your money, over time, and make it your slave, and if you provide services that save other people money and time, you will have an abundance of money and time to enjoy it, never becoming a slave to money or time.

What does wealth really mean? It is:

1. More than accumulation.

2. Sharing the best of everything you’ve accomplished.

3. Self-reliance and individualism, freedom, and independence.

4. Embracing money as a positive thing, rejecting the idea that poverty is somehow noble.

5. Rediscovering your core passions and risking the pursuit of your dreams.

The oldest Americans can teach us many things about wealth. The most important is this, “You are your best social security.” They also teach us to:

1. Hope for the best.

2. Prepare for the worst.

3. Get ready for surprises.

4. Embrace their belief that if you can’t afford something, you don’t buy it.

5. Reject credit debt.

The following trends will help create the next wave of wealth. Are you ready to be the entrepreneurs of the future, mirroring the success of the trailblazing entrepreneurs of the past?

1. Computer literacy will spell impoverishment for millions of once-skilled workers; you must either stay up to date or prepare to fall behind.

2. Say goodbye to full-time, permanent jobs, as businesses strive to become more profitable and efficient. Outsourcing will be their guiding light.

3. Home-based businesses will outpace fixed-base franchises.

4. Flexibility and affordability will power businesses not restrained by geographic concerns.

5. Virtual offices will reign supreme. Employees will no longer have workplaces. They will have workspaces, reducing overhead and turnover.

Wealth Wisdom Denis Waitley

1. Your only security comes from within.

2. Take calculated risks every day.

3. Stretch your comfort zone.

4. Reach for new challenges.

5. Venture into uncharted territories.

6. Create your own security and your own wealth.

Wisdom is seeing from within. It is not what happens to you that really counts. It is how you take it and what you make of it. Life is not a treasure hunt. All you can accumulate that is lasting is the love and goodwill of others. Wisdom is sharing what you have learned and earned, and planting shade trees for those that follow, under which, you may never sit. The secret is to turn your life of collection into a life of celebration.

Wisdom gives meaning to all your pursuits. True wisdom transcends nationality, career, or financial standing. It is an inner journey. True wisdom can be summed up in just two words, “Know thyself.”

Gaining wisdom isn’t necessarily easy. Self-knowledge isn’t a simple pursuit.

The speed of today’s world often gets in the way of knowing your true self. When you spend so much time just keeping up in this world, you don’t have time to explore the deepest part of yourself, to discover what you really know.

That makes the wisdom passed down to you by your parents and grandparents even more valuable. If you’re struggling to know yourself, you should pay even greater attention to the wisdom of the more mature members of your family or those who have already succeeded in the struggles you are dealing with.

One of the most important things you will learn from your parents and grandparents is that you can and must realize that “How you experience the world is entirely up to you!”

Your reactions to events are within your control. Will you become angry, frustrated, hopeless? That’s entirely up to you.

At the heart of learning how to react in a healthy way, is understanding that there are only a certain number of things you can control. Among them are:

1. Your concerns and worries, and your actions.

2. How much time and energy do you give to tasks?

3. What you do with your free time.

4. Your commitments to yourself and other people.

5. The people you look up to.

6. The causes you give your time, ideas, and financial support.

7. What you say and when it is time to remain silent.

8. Your response to challenging times and people.

Patience is the wisdom behind persistence. In our accelerating world, learn to be more patient in your expectations, of yourself and others.

To love is to appreciate and accept each other, unconditionally, forgiving the blemishes, reinforcing the blessings, and looking in the same direction together from different perspectives. For richer and for poorer, in sickness and in health, marriage is an exchange of vows in which each party agrees to honor, cherish, and be a person of trust, in spite of all circumstances that can and will arise during the relationship. This is a tall order, especially in an age when it seems easier to walk away when trouble comes along.

Most people don’t realize how strongly you are pulled to recreate where you came from. Therefore, your relationships, including your marriage, mirror those that surrounded you while growing up.

By maintaining ties with your parents and grandparents, you can choose to emulate what was good and change what wasn’t. You can create some real continuity in this otherwise disposable world. Continuity of family and extended-family relationships are so important to marital happiness and success.

At the heart of successful marriages and loving families is forgiveness. Cherish your blessings. Daily practice unconditional love. Spouses who have been married for 40, 50, even 60 years frequently credit forgiveness as the key element in their successful unions.

Complete forgiveness is the only way to shift focus and responsibility from your spouse to yourself. It is the only way to change from wanting the right person to being the right person instead. “It’s not a game,” one long-married woman advised, “so don’t keep score.”

Your parents and grandparents can play an important role in helping you raise your kids. As a rich resource of experience and information, they are reliable veterans, who can be counted on to provide common sense.

Your parents and grandparents can also transport your kids to fascinating places and times simply by talking about their own lives. They are our oral historians, educators, and living past.

Helping parents and grandparents with simple tasks teaches kindness and patience. They give us lessons in endurance and faith. They benefit us and our children by demonstrating with grace and calm what it’s like to be at the far end of life’s path.

Whether you are a spouse, parent or child, the message is the same: “Treat the persons you love with the same respect you expect from them. The Golden Rule isn’t called ‘golden’ for no reason. It’s real and it works.”

Your mission is to complete the arc of your life’s circle. Your goal is to regain the joy of shared enthusiasm that marked your youth but is tempered by the wisdom of experience over time. You should face the world with the wide-eyed wonder of a schoolchild and the “wink of understanding” of a teacher.

As you grow and mature, your friendships change. Close relationships mean different things to you at various stages in your life. A few friends remain over the complete course of your lifetime. Some friendships are cut short by misunderstanding, mismanagement, or death. However, each one is still a deep, rich experience.

Openness, spontaneity, and an enthusiastic sense of adventure mark childhood friendships. Through them you learn to share, compromise, manage conflict, be flexible, take personal responsibility, and be kind. In one form or another, these are the themes and life lessons you continue to struggle with and try to master for the rest of your life.

As you leave childhood, your friendships change. They become more like mirrors, revealing who you are and who you want to be. But as adults, things change.

Your friendships are different. The demands of your life require so much emotional and physical energy. Your friendships fall into disrepair.

Competition, jealousy, and insecurity often complicate adult friendships. You worry how you stack up compared to your peers.

During the concluding chapter of your life, however, things change once again. Openness and enthusiasm for friendships return. They come complete with the knowledge that someone will be there for you no matter what.

As one elderly man stated, “Paradise is knowing your friends are never going to leave, that the party is never going to end.” Even death cannot end these friendships. “They didn’t leave,” the gentleman said, speaking of his deceased cronies. “They were taken away. And that’s vastly different.” As, indeed, it is.

In the final years of your life, seasoned with wisdom and a lifetime of experience, you will see the distinctions between family and friendship blur, often disappearing completely. You come full circle, back to the delight that marked your childhood friendships.

A true friend, you discovered, is someone you can trust with your life. They accept you as you are, with all your strengths and weaknesses. You can speak with confidence with them. They will not betray you.

You might see them every day or every few years, but a true friend is the person you can call in the middle of the night and know they’ll be there for you.

Make the most of every moment, whatever that moment might bring. The past is gone forever, don’t live there. Cherish your memories each day. The future is unknown, so don’t live there. Dream of light, not darkness, each day. Live in the present moment, the only moment over which you have any control. Now, and it’s history. Now, and it’s over.

For many people, death and mortality are not subjects easily discussed. However, they cannot be ignored. All the approximately fifteen billion human beings, who have walked this earth since the dawn of man, are dead.

Death is a natural part of life. Mortality is part of being human. But if it’s natural, why do you fear it so? In fact, many people do not fear death at all.

They have gained a remarkable level of acceptance, punctuated by calm and grace. They have developed an understanding throughout the years. They believe, as stated in the Old Testament, “To everything there is a season: a time to be born, and a time to die.”

If some people do not fear death, then why is it that younger people most often avoid the discussion of mortality at all costs? Are you terrified of this topic also?

Are you missing the wisdom of those who have died before you, who had more time to form an opinion and come to grips with their own mortality?

Do you invest a huge amount of time and money trying to stay alive? If so, you should first determine the purpose of your life.

If you accept the fact you don’t want to die, you should ask yourself why you want to live. What should you be doing to make the world a better place?

Don’t wait until you’re in your eighties to identify the things you want to live for. Stay young by remaining curious and spontaneous. Attempt to maintain your joy in just being alive. Get in touch with that time in your life before you learned how seriousness of life. Take a playful approach to living.

Continue to study and learn new things. Don’t feel like you know everything that needs to be known.

You must remain curious. When you do, you stop dreading old age. You banish your fear of death. You embrace a sense of stewardship, the result of years of experience.
