9 Tales Of Wisdom That Will Make You Question Everything About Modern Society

7. “Those who have one foot in the canoe, and one foot in the boat, are going to fall into the river.” – Tuscarora

If you choose to do something, dive into it. Half-hearted efforts never got anybody anywhere worthwhile. While it might seem easy to do a million things together, sometimes, it is more beneficial to award your undivided attention to one aspect of your life, if you want to achieve your goal.

8. “You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.” – Navajo

You cannot save somebody who does not wish to be saved. You can help a person, but they need to accept that gesture and act upon concrete advice. The same applies to you. If you don’t help or assist your own self, nobody else will be able to do it for you. Healing and progress both depend on you.

9. “Those that lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.” – Blackfoot

Be very alert about the kind of people you allow into your life. If you surround yourself with toxic people, then your life will turn out to be extremely sad. Be cautious about the social circles you walk into. They could make or break you.
