I like the word stampede.
Dan Leonardo (neighbor and friend) and I were talking this morning about life, money, raising kids, what really matters in life etc. etc.
One insight was that wise decisions are usually the ones where you sit down and think them through. Wisdom doesn’t get caught up in circumstances, but tries to understand choices and consequences.
In short, wisdom doesn’t follow the hysteria of crowds — it doesn’t get caught up in stampedes.
So I’m sitting here wondering what stampedes are around me… what is the crowd doing that feels urgent, but might not be?
What are the things we should be sitting down and thinking through?
