Wisdom is Within

What is wisdom? This is a question that we have many answers to, no specific answer, but one idea. I want to know, if a child asks you as an elder person, ”what is wisdom sir/ma?”, what would be your response? Ponder over that while I continue with my post, hehehehe.

Sometime ago, I asked the question, what is wisdom, in lots of social media that I’m familiar with, and got many answers that are different, but has one meaning. I got the idea of what they were trying to say. but that wasn’t enough, I decided to make a post on our famous Facebook, I made a point of bringing one phrase that really caught my attention and was on its own, the phrase was, “Wisdom comes when we are moving forward, not resting on your laurels, to obtain wisdom, you must be teachable, discerning, relational and responsive.”  Now that phrase from one of the good people that bothered to answer my post, got me thinking, its different from the usual Wisdom comes from experience idea that everyone that posted had. So after making the post of the phrase on Facebook with a question of how true this was, a friend made a comment that has its own meaning, he said, “Every single day provides an opportunity for us to learn, to grow and to move on. Every single person we encounter, every single situation we face serves as a teacher for us to learn, grow and move on. All we have to do is to be receptive enough to learn from life's immeasurable teachers. That is wisdom.” Although after going through it, his comment is also talking about experience, I believe that is more like the general understanding of Wisdom.

After piling up all the answers I’ve gathered from my question, I’ve come to a conclusion, and I’m going to share it with all of you, so our young kids will have something to ponder on when they face such a question and as they grow.

My conclusion is that, Wisdom is within. How, You ask? I’ll explain, I’ve got all day, hehehehe. Now Wisdom is like a plant that needs to be watered for it to grow into a blossoming light that guides us through life’s’ adventures. Wisdom is within each and everyone of us, it just need a little receptive mind and open heart to water it. Because until it is grown, we cannot get or understand its full potential. Oh my! I sound like my papa in the Lord! Hehehehehe! Lolzz!

Experience is the water that is needed to fuel your inner wisdom up. Until you believe that wisdom is in you, your experiences might just be a waste. You have to believe it’s in you as you go out gathering experiences with a receptive and teachable mind.

Wisdom is power, and Wisdom is experience, when you have it, you can do the unthinkable, you can also know how to control in a chaotic place, you can take charge, when others around you don’t know  what to do, because you’ve got Wisdom and experience to back up your ideas.

Got to go now, feel free to prove me wrong, hehehehe.
