Steps to Acquiring Wisdom and Courage

At the Institute of Wisdom and Courage, we help clients to do the following:

1.   Identify and Analyze Beliefs
      What are your beliefs and how were they formed?  
      Which beliefs have led you to unhappiness?
      Which ones do you want to change?

2.   Find Your Own Wisdom Literature
      Choose and commit to reading one type of wisdom literature.  
      Your wisdom literature is one source of finding new beliefs, wisdom,
      and acts of courage.

3.   Be Grateful for Your Suffering
      Although this is hard to do, being grateful for suffering opens the door to
      the truth and to very valuable life lessons. Create a life that is worthy of
      your suffering.

4.   Read Biographies/Autobiographies
      Read books of people who overcame very difficult circumstances without
      being filled with anger and hate.   This is another source of finding new
      beliefs, wisdom, and acts of courage.   If possible, thank these people for
      what they have taught you and, thus, create a life that is worthy of other
      peoples’ suffering. 

5.   Share Your Lessons
      Share with others the lessons you have learned by gaining wisdom and
      doing acts of courage.
