Living a full and happy life requires an important rule that needs to be followed. It is learning to gain wisdom and letting it guide you in your decisions in life. Wisdom is not a dead word reserved for only “Sages” and highly intelligent people but it is attainable for ordinary people. You may think finding wisdom is fairly easy with the answers at the tip of your fingers. Just ask Google or Alexa and you’ve got your answer. Surprisingly we often mistaken knowledge for wisdom. These technological devices and advances can only provide us with knowledge, which are just facts and familiarity of a thing or topic. These days we give knowledge too much credit for a person’s success and happiness but in actuality, knowledge is only potential and “wisdom” is the vehicle that will put the “knowledge” into action and to work for you.
How do you gain wisdom in an age where knowledge is everywhere and easy to get a hold of? Do you simply just sit and meditate for wisdom to happen? The answer to that Q & A is YES! Meditation opens your mind to start decluttering and getting rid of all the unnecessary knowledge you collect throughout the day and creates a clean slate in your mind so relevant and important knowledge and understanding remains. Once you are able to distinguish the important knowledge, that is when you can start putting those knowledge into actions. When those knowledge are set in motion, an automatic connection between your brain and heart will start to develop. Soon this connection will be the driving force that will guide you in your path through life, preventing you from stumbling and going in the wrong direction. It will also help guard your heart from emotional instability. In our world today, guarding our heart is the most important thing we must learn to do. Running on emotional instability creates chaos in our lives.
Learning to meditate each day, asking for wisdom, seeking for wisdom, and allowing wisdom to enter in your life will guide you to a happier and purposeful life.
