Wisdom

December 18, 2007

The first step in the acquisition of wisdom is silence, the second listening, the third memory, the fourth practice, the fifth teaching others.”  Solomon Ibn Gabriol

What are some ways that we gain wisdom?

1. In the silence of this life with Father God

2. Listening and observing others, some show wisdom, others do not

3. Learning from our mistakes

4. Remembering the actions of our mentors

I’m sure, with enough thought, we could name many more ways to gain wisdom.  I have been blessed to have many mentors and loved ones teach me a little wisdom.  Each hold a special place in my heart and mind.  Their wisdom impacted me.  Their life impacted me.
