Where can we find an honest to goodness authoritative guidelines which has been proven during the past centuries?

As you know there are many How to Books, Self Improvement Books and so on.  I found my guidelines in the book called the Bible only ten years ago.  I wish I did 20 or 30 years ago... I could have had a more peaceful and happy life.  So here the first one.         

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths."    Provebs 3:5-6. 

I have two degrees, so I  am one of those "know-it-alls" and bullet-proof character getting ahead in my career  until I stumbled.  If I were aware of above guideline, and referred to it constantly,  I could have avoided the heartaches to myself and my family.  So if you are one of those "successful " person, try to slow down and check your bearings.  Read above verse as often as you can. 

Take my word for it, you have to trust your Creator, your source, your main Vine.  We are just branches and without Him, we can do nothing.  Think about it before you stumble.  You probably could recover, but it will cost you some.  

"Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil; It will be health to our flesh, and strength to your bones."     Proberbs 3:7-8

The above is addressed to people who belive they are "a self-made person".  Honestly, there is no such banana.  We depend on Him for the free air we breath.  Even the ability to inhale His free oxygen.  So how can I say I am a self-made man.  No way Manny or Jose. 

The above verses also refers to the physical health of our body and bones, literally.

That is enough for now.  The next part will pertain to a  few things on how to stay healthy so we will worry less and be at peace and happy.
