10 Minutes of Infinite Wisdom: Recent Episodes
Pam Dunn
You will hear practical approaches to expressing yourself wisely. Operating as a human being is not a goal of perfection. The goal would be to make wise choices, commit to a life of learning how to be at ease with yourself when making mistakes, and to learn to love yourself and others without conditions. Wisdom is knowledge in action. We are wise when we learn how to be or do something better than before - and then we behave that way, making important shifts along the way. We all have the power to be wise and to powerfully express that wisdom. It'll only take 10 minutes to gather infinite ways to express your wisdom!
