Wisdom

“Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget, falls drop by drop upon the heart, until, in our own despair and against our will, comes wisdom, through the grace of God.” . . . Eascalus

Wisdom is not anything that can be learned – the only way to acquire wisdom is to earn it.

The ability to accept and grow from life’s lessons is the beginning of wisdom. Sometimes when we cry out to life for the answers we receive wisdom through a life challenging lesson. It is through wisdom that a tragedy becomes a teaching. This is the way of wisdom. It teaches us how to understand and learn through acceptance.

Sometimes we have no control over the life situations we face. Our control lies in how we react to the life situations we face.

The way to take control of your life is by beginning to live it consciously, compassionately, joyously and with love. We were not born to live in pain. We can choose to learn through pain or joy. We were born to learn how to transform our lives through a greater understanding of the Divine and the way to do that is through developing Self-knowledge.
