SHARED WISDOM:
WISDOM #1 There is a lot of threshold moments in our lives.
They help us recognize how we’re changing. If we miss those moments, then we miss how we’re forming.
WISDOM #2 Slow down with people in your life and communicate with them how much you care about them.
WISDOM #3 Small moments are important to notice because there are actually no more profound moments.
That’s all we got, so embrace the small moments.
Until next time, take it slower than you think you should.
