WISDOM

Wisdom develops over time from experiences where you learn about yourself.

 

– Self-knowledge

Self-knowledge is knowing oneself. Self-knowledge is important so that you live YOUR life… your OWN life… and your choices meet YOUR innate needs, yearnings and goals; and so you live in harmony and alignment with who you are.

Self-knowledge is knowing yourself so you can make the appropriate choices to meet your needs and resonate with who you are.

COURAGE is required for action; so that you respect and honour who YOU are through your choices.

 

Why is Self-knowledge important?

 


Courage

Courage for me, encapsulates so many aspects and includes qualities of strength; wisdom; tenacity; compassion; integrity; faith; determination; surrender; resilience; love; acceptance… and all these qualities at different times have enabled me to lead a ‘courageous’ life.

Courage for me isn’t about being ‘fearless’. For me it is about fighting for what matters to me; and then having the wisdom to know when to surrender and walk away. I have found it has sometimes taken far more courage to surrender something than to actually fight for it.


Through Julie's wisdom and experiences, you will be able to learn more about accessing YOUR OWN courage.
