I recently posted a quote, "Knowledge is learned, wisdom is remembered," wisdom comes with living life and our experiences along the way. A dear friend of mine asked me on my birthday, what was the best part of being my age, my answer without question is my wisdom. Wisdom is one of the things I treasure the most with age, I love what I know. We all have been filled with so much wisdom throughout the years, lessons and experiences we can use to help direct us, and navigate as we go. Writing about self in last weeks blog, our wisdom is a big part of who we are and what we know, and how and why we make many of the choices we do in life.
Our knowledge comes from our education, reading, listening, learning, lessons... Some things we choose to know and others come with our schooling, work, things that we may need to know in order move ahead or manage what is gong on around us. Our wisdom is us, engrained into our being, a part of us, culturally, spiritually, personality, our beliefs, our habits, a lot of what contributes to self and who we are. The knowledge that is learned and our wisdom we experience, combined, help us to grow into the best version of ourselves.
Making changes in our lives in order to feel better, move better, be better, our wisdom tells us that these changes need to be made, our knowledge helps direct us to how those changes can be made. May we always continue to grow wiser as the years pass, and may we never stop learning. Making wise decisions for ourselves when it comes to our health and wellbeing will always be a necessity and something that will last a lifetime. I end this week with this definition;
Wisdom~ the soundness of an action or decision with regard to at the application of EXPERIENCE, KNOWLEDGE, and good judgement!! "Savor your wisdom"
