#Trust30 online initiative - a 30-day writing challenge - Part 21 - You Know

You Know by Jen Louden


Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. Absolve you to yourself, and you shall have the suffrage of the world. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
We live in a society of advice columns, experts and make-over shows. Without even knowing it, you can begin to believe someone knows better than you how to live your life. Someone might know a particular something better – like how to bake a three-layer molten coconut chocolate cake or how to build a website – but nobody else on the planet knows how to live your life better than you. (Although one or two people may think they do.) For today, trying asking yourself often, especially before you make a choice, “What do I know about this?”

You Know by Andrew Cairns


What you 'know' and use to make a choice at a given time, may later be revealed to incorrect or incomplete. With hindsight you may wish you'd chosen differently.
You can only base any choices on you current knowledge and feelings. As for today, not sure I made any important choices; perhaps choosing to communicate more and by different means (face-to-face, phone, email).
