wise students graduated from the chapter on Wisdom (next week is the final
exam, after completion of our final experiments). We have three experiments to
choose from:
Experiment
1: Make only those decisions which need to be made today. If you find
yourself worrying about a future decision, try to reorient your attitude. Trust
that when the time comes when you really will have to choose, then you will
know what to do. Pray that experience and necessary guidance will be shown to
you between now and the time you have to decide.
Experiment
2: At least for one day go through the whole day without speaking
unkindly of anyone. When you feel tempted to speak unkindly about a shortcoming
of someone, remember that it is not up to you to make that person face up to
himself. You may be right—that fault may be there. Instead, remember your
sincere desire to see that person be whole and healed. Act or speak out of wisdom
in such a way that it helps bring to the surface that person’s wholeness.
Experiment
3: Where in your life have you honestly explored your capabilities and
discovered the boundaries or limits which are unique to you (e.g., in physical
exercise, areas of intellectual study, capabilities in your work, talent and
skill in the home, etc.)? For those areas where you know of the boundaries
which are now best for you, try living within them as best you can without
any sense of inadequacy, self-criticism or comparison with others.
