There are enduring truths about ourselves that we sometimes don/' t see or remember. What are they? They are truths that were recognized thousands of years ago- and have stood the test of time. Here are a four of them- and some ideas about how to use this knowledge.

Enduring Truths About Self Interest

We are self interested. When we sacrifice for others- even this is motivated by our own desires. Those desires include good feelings and wanting to see or make the world the way we want it to be. Forget this- and we become bitter trying to "do the right thing." In order to avoid this bitterness that comes with "duty"- we need to see how being a good person and doing the right thing is just self interest.

Watch the waves. Watch small waves- and watch the large waves. Watch them coming in- on the shore untiringly. What do we see? We see the passion. We see the energy. We also wonder about the purpose...

This is a time of year when many people take stock of all that they are grateful for -- or at least when we should do so. But this should also be a time when we take stock of all those people who con...
We can also point out the self-interest of others when we want to correct their behavior. Tell a man he/' s wrong- and it isn/' t usually enough to change his behavior. It/' s better to show him his true interest - that behaving in a better way is better for HIM. Don/' t forget the normal and healthy self-interest in dealing with others AND with yourself.

Enduring Truths About Mistakes

Salvador Dali said- "Have no fear of perfection. You/' ll never reach it." Maybe you see this as negativity- but recognizing the truth is never a negative act. We all make mistakes. The greatest man or woman alive - whoever he or she is - has done some stupid things.

This isn/' t an attack on human greatness- but a recognition that it isn/' t dependent on doing things perfectly. Perfectionists certainly suffer for their demands upon themselves- while others hesitate to act for fear of mistakes.

Our mistakes give us a chance to learn- and so avoid even bigger mistakes. Of course- we also can learn from our successes- and from the successes of others. Why not view mistakes and successes - both our own and others - as the great opportunities they are. Just seize that chance to learn more and so live better.

Enduring Truths About Change

Probably you have seen people that appear to learn nothing from their mistakes- right? Haven/' t you also known and read about those who turned their lives around? A less important truth is that people often don/' t change. The far more important truth to remember- and the most important of these enduring truths- is that we CAN change.
