Daily Insights

Daily Insights are insightful truths about reality that empower us to transform our way of thinking.

They are often challenging, and give us the coaching and courage to behave in a way we might never have thought of. They’re great to dwell on and remind ourselves of throughout the day.

The Daily Insights book can be purchased through the Wisdom Shop. Book sections have been indicated for each Insight.

Premarital advice

Living Wisdom · October 17, 2026 ·

Premarital advice: In order to glue two surfaces, first ensure both are as clean as possible. Echoes, unbearable feelings, soul-ties and family roles must be first of all to be inspected.

Don’t make unilateral decisions

Living Wisdom · October 16, 2026 ·

Don’t make unilateral decisions which also concern your spouse. To move together, you must also decide together, or you’ll slide into a pretend agreement, followed by resentment.

As long as you are alive

Living Wisdom · October 15, 2026 ·

As long as you are alive, it’s never too late to spend time with your family. Strengthen those eternal ties by making another memory whenever you can.

Give them space

Living Wisdom · October 14, 2026 ·

Give them space – mum and dad don’t actually get home from a demanding job until at least ten minutes after their body walks through the door.

Trauma in childhood

Living Wisdom · October 13, 2026 ·

No, your husband/wife isn’t a child, but there may still be a child within him/her, because trauma in childhood always arrests some emotional development.
