Wisdom

 

When do we consider ourselves to be WISE?

A wise person is able to use their experience and knowledge to make sensible decisions and judgments.

Sensible means practical and functional...

• Do we think this comes with AGE?
• Do we think this comes from EXPERIENCE?
• Do we think this comes from EDUCATION?

Maybe it is a combination of all three...

Maybe WISDOM (Wise) is nothing more than COMMON SENSE.

After 76 years of life, I see wisdom this way:

1. Planning
2. Due Diligence
3. Saving
4. Buying what you need
5. Stress-free
6. Love
7. Patience
8. Empathy
9. Flexible
10. Giving

Each one of these ten points will vary with each individual as we process information, sensations, and feelings differently.

For example, when I need to be somewhere at a specific time, I determine how long it will take me to get there under normal circumstances, then I add 30+ minutes depending upon the situation.

If there were no delays and I arrive early, then I make sure I brought something to do to pass the time.

One would not on the surface believe how that reduces stress, but it does for me.

The worst possible scenario hardly ever happens but when it does, you are ready for it or as ready as you possibly can be given the circumstances.

You should try to be what others want you to be nor should you try to make others what you want them to be.

We are all different and I doubt that we would want everyone to be the same...
