Episode Synopsis

Let me share with you what I consider some insightful thoughts to reflect on. They come from a psychologist named Jordon Peterson and may help explain why Solomon wrote the following in Proverbs 4:20-27.
20 My son, pay attention to what I say;
turn your ear to my words.
21 Do not let them out of your sight,
keep them within your heart;
22 for they are life to those who find them
and health to one’s whole body.
23 Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.
24 Keep your mouth free of perversity;
keep corrupt talk far from your lips.
25 Let your eyes look straight ahead;
fix your gaze directly before you.
26 Give careful thought to the paths for your feet
and be steadfast in all your ways.
27 Do not turn to the right or the left;
keep your foot from evil.

The quotes are these:

“As you start to wander off the path, the probability that you will wander further off the path increases.”
“As you wander towards the edge the probability that you will fall off the cliff increases.”
“But as you improve, the probability that each improvement will produce a further improvement increases.”
