I find it important for one to realize that they are the only one who really holds the special interest in looking after themselves. 

Our elders can be misleading or poorly educated in matters of wisdom and guidance. 

Most people just want to sound smart and this issue can be very dangerous to the seeker of information. 

Rise into your own power. 

Very few will be there to help you make some of the greatest, life changing decisions. 

It is ultimately up to us as individuals to educate and empower ourselves.
