Read Proverbs 14 in context

Biblical Context
Proverbs 14:29-30 contrasts slow wrath with folly and links a sound heart to life. Envy, on the other hand, corrupts the bones.
Neville's Inner Vision
In the inner theater of your life, Proverbs 14:29-30 is a map of states of consciousness. To be slow to wrath is to dwell in greater understanding, a recognition that you are the I AM, the awareness that can choose a higher vibration rather than react from fear. A hasty spirit is the exaltation of folly, a belief that external events control your inner state. A sound heart is the life of the flesh—when your inner atmosphere is aligned with harmony, vitality follows. Envy is the rot that corrodes bones because it claims what is not present in your own consciousness; it isolates you from the wholeness you already are. The outer world then follows the inward alignment. See every encounter as a mirror of your inner dispositions, and allow a patient, understanding mood to govern action. Practice turning disturbance into awareness, and health will rise as your inner state softens toward unity and love.
Practice This Now
Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine yourself watching a scene from your own mind as a calm observer. Declare: I AM calm understanding; I choose health and peace now, feeling it real.
