You’re Wise Beyond Your Ears.


Smart people know how to use their brains. Wise people also know how to use their brains, but they aren’t trapped between their ears. Wise people know how to integrate their brain and body with their gut, heart, and soul. Fortunately, the last three escape solitary confinement starting in midlife.

It’s ironic that my gut instinct grows in tandem with my waistline. But there’s no doubt my intuition is better now than twenty years ago when I was a size 32.

A University of California, Berkeley study shows that our EQ generally rises steadily throughout our working lives, peaking at the mature age of 60. And, with that increased emotional fluency comes more wisdom about ourselves and others. There’s a reason why the term “old soul” is one of the few times old is offered as a compliment to someone.

Wanna be wise? Help your gut, heart, and soul be seen, loved and honored.
