Something inspirational:

“Wisdom is your perspective on life, your sense of balance, your understanding of how the various parts and principles apply and relate to each other. It embraces judgment, discernment, comprehension. It is a gestalt or oneness, and integrated wholeness.”

  1. "Wisdom comes with age," is the expression I believe and it has taken me a long time to gain any of it! I've had to learn most things the hard way, which is why I try to help others avoid the pitfalls I have fallen into!

    I can only hope that I can continue to learn and grow to have a better quality of life in the future.

    1. I'm not sure you're alone on that Randy. I'm also not sure it matters how long it takes us, as long as we do gain wisdom along the way.

      I've also had to most things the hard way. Sometimes I believe it's the best way for us to learn.

  2. I can relate to the part where it says that wisdom imparts wholeness.

    I also believe it can impart confidence that we've dealt with something before and we can handle it again if it arises.
