10 Considerations for a better life

When I first came up with the 10 Considerations they were titled as "Adherences." I decided against this label after realizing that an "Adherent," which is what I would become sticking to them, was someone who supported a particular set of ideas. 

Definitions for consideration include "careful thought, typically over a period of time" "a fact or a motive taken into account in deciding or judging something" &  "thoughtfulness and sensitivity toward others." Much better title. 

As for some factually, the columns at the Oracle of Delphi are recorded as coming from men, although the Oracle was female. Nice balance of energy don't you think? Since this bit of information came from Wikipedia, who knows whether it is true. The researcher Eloise Hart suggests  these famous quotes came from questions posed to the Oracle, who knows? Anyway, it turns out there were inscriptions in three of the columns, not just two. The first two are easy - - "Know Theyself" and "Nothing in Excess." The third is cryptic: "Make a Pledge and Mischief is Nigh." I suppose that warns to take care with where you place your alliances and what you promise. I like that one. Time to put it to good use. 

Me: "I don't know when I am going to vacuum, honey, sometime this month is all I know. Even so, I am not promising anything."
 
Some internet information here:
The Delphic Oracle By Eloise Hart
" The best known Delphic injunction was carved into the lintel at the Temple of Apollo: GNOTHI SEAUTON, Know Thyself. These words may have originated in Apollo's response to a question Chilon of Sparta asked: "What is best for man?" The reply, "Know thyself," is similar to the one believed to have been given to the Lydian king, Croesus, when he was told that he must know himself if he would live most happily. Croesus, a man of action and not philosophical, took this to mean that he should know his own strength, know what he wanted, and should rely on his own judgment. Others have found deeper meaning in these words, taking the "self" to mean the higher self, the true Self; to imply that as man is the microcosm of the macrocosm, he who knows himself knows all."

From Wikipedia:

"Carved into the temple were three phrases: γνῶθι σεαυτόν (gnōthi seautón = "know thyself") and μηδέν άγαν (mēdén ágan = "nothing in excess"), and Ἑγγύα πάρα δ'ἄτη (eggýa pára d'atē = "make a pledge and mischief is nigh"),[11] In ancient times, the origin of these phrases was attributed to one or more of the Seven Sages of Greece.[12]"
