Jann's Blog: Sage-ing is Common Sense

Welcome

Learning is a never-ending journey. I've learned much from my mentors, from the wise sages in my life. I feel it is important to share and pass along some of what I have learned – and continue to learn. I believe we are all responsible for smoothing the path for those who come after us. And I know that we are all connected and here to support one another.

My purpose is to:

Improve organizational effectiveness through individual development

Sage-ing is Common Sense

If you read my blog, you know that my topic of interest is currently "sage-ing." When asked what this means, I usually say that it is the secret to living a quality life. Sage-ing involves mindful, intentional, and conscious decision making.

As I was explaining this to a friend, she said: "But this is all common sense." While this may be true, common sense is not that common anymore. There are so many distractions that it is hard to think clearly and make the best decisions with our lives. We get off track and caught up in things in which we lose our true focus.

It sounds so simple, yet it is difficult to practice.
