Matthew 13:47-51 The Message (MSG)

“Or, God’s kingdom is like a fishnet cast into the sea, catching all kinds of fish. When it is full, it is hauled onto the beach. The good fish are picked out and put in a tub; those unfit to eat are thrown away. That’s how it will be when the curtain comes down on history. The angels will come and cull the bad fish and throw them in the garbage. There will be a lot of desperate complaining, but it won’t do any good.” Jesus asked, “Are you starting to get a handle on all this?” They answered, “Yes.”

Matthew 13:47-51 King James Version (KJV)

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord.

I was reading this interesting email from Barking Up The Wrong Tree while enjoying my coffee this Thanksgiving Morning. Today is a wonderful day, the big stores are closed and all of the people employed there are getting a real day off, that is kinda nice if you think about it. I digress, back to the story. I shared ths with my darling wife and she reminded me where wisdom comes from. The Fear of The Lord. I will post the full email in comments and a link to the blog. Check this insight out next time your dealing with a smarty pants. ~ TLR 

 IQ isn’t everything.

"Greater education and intelligence don't necessarily lift you up; sometimes they just provide better tools for digging trenches.  “Intelligent and educated people are less likely to learn from their mistakes, for instance, or take advice from others. And when they do err, they are better able to build elaborate arguments to justify their reasoning, meaning that they become more and more dogmatic in their views. Worse still, they appear to have a bigger ‘bias blind spot,’ meaning they are less able to recognize the holes in their logic.”

A 2013 study from the Journal of Experimental Psychology found that people who were better at wise reasoning did better in nearly every area of life. They were happier, had better relationships, and were even less likely to die in the next five years. The twist?

Intelligence is pretty much unrelated to wise reasoning. And unrelated to those increases in health or happiness. You could have an IQ so high it requires oxygen, and it wouldn’t make you all that much wiser, healthier, or happier. "

I came across Mark Goulston while listening to an interesting conversation yesterday, check it out for your self. I am hoping to put some of the mental health info that I come across to the comments for future resourse and review. This topic touches us all, for some it is so pain full. Mark Goulston discusses things mental health-related. They got into the ins and outs of dealing with depression, his own techniques and tips on how to cope, and the Michelangelo Mindset. Mark Goulston is the Creator/Co-founder of Michelangelo Mindset, exec coach, best-selling author of nine books, and host of My Wakeup Call Podcast. He was originally a UCLA professor of psychiatry for over 25 years, and a former FBI and police hostage negotiation trainer.

A great article on forecasting, some valuable insight in how this can improve your future, be it your personal financial plans or your business projections , worth a deep look and plan of action  - TLR

”The creative process makes building a financial forecast very rewarding. You work within a framework of the client’s business model, but you also add your own financial instinct and know-how. Sometimes, your drive can push a business beyond where they thought they could go, and also help an owner understand the financial potential in their business. This is what makes forecasting uniquely different from budgeting. Budgeting is usually very conservative, and it’s much more granular. Forecasting is about potential. What’s possible? How can we get there?
