A Reincarnated Thought: On Wise Entrepreneurship and Wisdom
Wise Entrepreneurs post their books at night and know the state of their fortunes.
Wise Individuals, meanwhile—after balancing their worksheets at the end of each day, move beyond "bank accounts" to scrutinize the details of their "life accounts" which will eventually populate their - individual and unique - "Books of Life."

Wise Individuals scrutinize their actions and probe their human inter-actions because they know that even though the evening’s darkness stalks more dearly those within their graying years, the shadow of night can quickly obliterate the radiance that sustains anyone's life-sundial.

Evening can fall quickly upon any figure, at any time … at any place.
At the end of each day are you balancing your day's labor in your "Book of Life?"
The wise individual recognizes that the day is not for labor alone nor the night for rest alone. They grasp that every hour is set aside as a time for them to find faith in adversity, discover strength in weakness, radiate humility in success, and perform penitence for sins. It is a time to love and hold mankind dear so that, ultimately, the wise individual may find peace upon the arrival of the all-enveloping darkness—life’s only true certainty.
Night can quickly obliterate the radiance that sustains anyone's life-sundial.
This has been the purpose pursued by the greatest, wisest, and most beloved of those individuals who have walked life’s paths before us.

​Abraham Lincoln is one of the greatest examples. Physically he is gone; spiritually his thoughts and actions survive. So, take a toll of your life and ask how you will be remembered for the actions you take—or fail to take.

​In this way, expose your better nature—kind, loving and good. Discover how to use your personal resources to promote great and wise purposes.
Each day take a toll of your life!

Be introspective!

Be wise!
