#001 – Everything is at its peak of perfection
Everything is at its peak of perfection; especially the art of making one’s way in the world. There is more required nowadays to make a single wise man than formerly to make Seven Sages, and more is needed nowadays to deal with a single person than was required with a whole people in former times.
I admit that this was a hard one to start with. I read it a few times and let it sit in my brain a bit. It then became more clear to me. As a coach, we are always at our peak of perfection. That does not mean that we are always correct or right. What it is saying is that what we coach and teach today is more than what we coached and taught yesterday. Tomorrow, there will be a new peak of perfection that we must climb. Try to be the best that you can be today, and tomorrow will be its own climb. Stay in the moment.
This blog series is based on the book “The Art of Worldly Wisdom” by Balthasar Gracián. This book was written for advice on how to achieve personal and professional success. The goal of this blog series is to visit the points of wisdom and put them in the spotlight of the coaching and education lens.
